Build a Home on Your Lot in Durham
Here’s how to get started with Atmos to build your dream home on your Durham lot.
Even as businesses open back up, most folks aren’t jumping up and down to do everything in person again. In the last decade, daily tasks like banking, ordering dinner, and paying bills have moved online. It’s no wonder why — an online experience makes decisions easier to document, adds clarity to the process, and makes each step more convenient as we can finally perform each task from the comfort of home.
So why should homebuilding be any different?
If you’re ready to build a brand-new home in Durham that’s customized to fit your needs and preferences, Atmos is the answer you’ve been looking for. If you’ve already got a lot in Durham and you’re ready to start building, you’re already a big step ahead of the game!
From there, here’s how the process of getting started and designing your home with us will work:
1. Consultation
First things first! We need to meet to create a plan of action that’s specific to your needs, your budget, your lot and your priorities. In this step, you’ll kick things off with your project manager and start looking at your design options. This is also where we can help connect you with financing teams to get pre-approved for your construction loan.
2. Initial Design
Once we have our footing, it’s time to take a pass at the design of your home. In this step, which will take place in the first month of working with us, we’ll sit down to go over all of your must-have amenities, from garage size to layout to outdoor add-ons like a backyard kitchen. This is where the magic of Atmos truly shines as you get the chance to customize your new home and prioritize each item based on your budget. You stay in the driver’s seat!
3. Deposit
Once you’ve decided that building an Atmos home in Durham is the route for you, you can lock down your choice with a 1% deposit that will later be applied to your down payment. This deposit is capped at $5,000.
4. Architectural Plan
While we handle land due diligence and lot evaluation to get us in a great spot for building, you’ll drill down on each detail of your soon-to-be home. This takes place in months two and three of the overall process.
5. Pre-Construction Closing
Once the plan is all fleshed out and the details of your lot in Durham have been confirmed, it’s time to close on the pre-construction loan and work on permits to build. At this point, about three months into the process, your remaining down payment of 5-20% will be due to get started on the building process.
And just like that, the construction for your brand new custom home has begun! Stay tuned for more information on the building process itself.
