Choosing new home interior selections is an important strategic step in our design-build process and will define your unique tastes and style. The selection process involves mindful and artistic conception of the details for your new home. It brings together the balance of scale, style, texture, and layout of all the items you select that reflect your vision and desired style.
New home interior selections include countertops, flooring, electrical and plumbing fixtures, fabrics, tile, and paint color, as well as the re-purposing of any existing accessory and décor items that you may want to incorporate into your new build.
Meeting with your selections coordinator
Our selection coordinator will meet with you to review interior selections for your home. This process is a proven step that optimizes the timeline of the build process, allows for more accurate costs, minimizes your stress, and maximizes the quality of your home. When most of your choices are made upfront, they are compiled in real-time to ensure we’re sticking to our Good Faith Estimate. We ensure our vendors work with complete transparency, so you’re never met with unexpected costs.

New home interior selections schedule
The selection process is organized by your selections coordinator, keeping track of the item numbers, sizes, profiles, finishes, quantities, discounts, pricing, sourcing, and product lead times. This also helps builders better estimate your project and, ultimately, guide installers on what items to order and where to install them.
