Our Process

15 Steps to Your New Construction Home

Terra Construction Group's Communities are designed to make the path to your new home as clear as possible. You choose the model, the lot, and the finishes — we handle everything else.

Select Model Home

Browse Terra Construction Group's curated home model collection and choose the design that fits your lifestyle. Each model is your starting point, not your finish line. Customization comes next.

Choose Your Community / Location

Select the Terra Community that's right for you. Our team will walk you through what makes each neighborhood unique such as schools, setting, proximity, and what's available now.

Select Your Homesite

Choose your specific lot within the community. Orientation, privacy, views, and topography all factor in. Our team helps you evaluate each option so you choose with confidence.

Confirm Model Compatibility

We'll verify that your selected model works with your chosen homesite — lot dimensions, setbacks, zoning, and municipal requirements all confirmed before anything moves forward.

Initial Pricing & Lot Premium Review

You'll receive a clear, itemized breakdown of your base model pricing and lot premium. No estimates, no ranges. Just a straightforward number before design selections begin.

Refundable Deposit to Secure Lot

Ready to move forward? A fully refundable deposit takes your homesite off the market while we move into the design and customization phase. Your lot is held and your options stay open.

Design & Customization Meeting

Sit down with the team to personalize your home. Finishes, fixtures, layout adjustments, structural upgrades — this is where your vision takes over. Every decision is yours to make.

Preliminary Plan Adjustments

Your customizations get incorporated into updated plans for your review. Floor plan, layout, features, all refined until it's right. Nothing advances without your approval.

Finalize Scope & Selections

Every selection, upgrade, and construction detail gets locked in. Your finalized scope becomes the foundation of your construction contract so everyone is aligned before a single permit is filed.

Purchase Agreement / Construction Agreement

Scope confirmed, pricing locked. Your purchase or construction agreement is prepared and signed, formally documenting every project detail, responsibility, and timeline expectation. This is the moment everything becomes official.

Permitting & Municipal Approvals

Terra Construction Group manages the full permitting process from start to finish. We file the plans, coordinate with municipal agencies, and navigate every approval required before construction can begin. You don't chase paperwork. We do.

Construction Begins

Approvals in hand, it's time to break ground. Terra Construction Group manages every phase of the build. Trades are scheduled, timelines are monitored, and your project manager is on site to ensure the work reflects the plan you approved.

Scheduled Buyer Walkthroughs

You're never left wondering what's happening on your job site. Throughout construction, Terra Construction Group schedules regular walkthroughs so you can see progress firsthand, ask questions, and stay connected to every phase of your build.

Final Punch List & Quality Review

Before closing, we conduct a thorough punch list walkthrough with you. Every remaining detail is identified, documented, and addressed. Nothing gets signed off until it meets our standards and yours.

Warranty & Post-Closing Support

Closing day isn't the end of the relationship. Terra Construction Group stands behind every home we build with warranty coverage and responsive post-closing support. If something comes up, we're still your team.
