What are some of the general steps in building a home?
First, we choose the best spot possible for constructing your new Griffin Communities home. We then create plans and get the necessary city or county approval. Once we own the land, we prepare the site for construction, install plumbing, build the foundation and frame the walls. Once the framing is in place, we can then put in the heating, plumbing, electrical systems and fireplaces, per homesite. The next step is to install roofing, lathing, insulation and drywall and fixed features such as cabinetry and countertops. Then we finish the exterior and insides, applying stucco, plumbing fixtures, hardware, wall paint and appliances. Once the driveway, carpeting and tiling is in place, you’ve got a brand new home ready for living.

Why purchase a new home over resale?
From something as benign as a dated appearance to worst case scenarios like failing foundations or plumbing problems, resale homes aren’t always the value they appear to be. Griffin Communities builds homes for the way you live today, utilizing the latest architectural styles and building technologies. And, with a new Griffin Communities home, you’re part of the building process, choosing from an array of personalizing options as the home is being created, rather than going through the costly and lengthy process of replacing existing features.
