Frequently Asked Questions about Build on Your Lot in Charlotte

These are some of the more common questions we hear from our Build on Your Lot Customers. Your David Weekley Homes Build on Your Lot Sales Consultant is the expert who can answer all of your questions and make sure you have the knowledge you will need to make the best home buying decision for you and your family.

What does “One-stop shopping” mean?

We have the ability to choose plans and options in one place as compared to a custom builder that will send you to the flooring company to choose flooring; to the lighting showroom to select lights; to the brick showroom to select brick, etc. The advantage is that you can make your selections and control your budget within one meeting – most custom builders give allowances for each of these locations, so if you go over budget, you will have to go back and reselect all over again. Making this process easier for you is just one of the many services David Weekley Homes provides that makes us feel confident calling ourselves a "Full-service Home Builder."

What is the time frame to build our home?

Customer selections and loan process can greatly affect this answer. However, if the construction loan and selections/changes are completed prior to construction, from footing to close is approximately 6 months. The upfront work is approximately 2 months.

What is the cost per square foot?

This really varies based on area, house plan, foundation requirements, plan changes, upgrades and more. We need to narrow in on the exact area of town, plan, and more to give you a better educated estimate of your home on your lot.

What contributes to the final cost of the home?

Many factors affect the final cost of your home. Lot preparation (grading, soils, backfill), foundation type (slab vs crawl vs basement), length of driveway, utilities (are they in place or will they need to be installed?), style of home (ranch, master down, master up), interior and exterior finishes (brick vs hardiplank; hardwoods vs carpet; tile vs vinyl; granite vs laminate), and landscaping (sod vs seed and straw, irrigation, trees/shrubbery) are a few of the elements that have a direct affect on your final cost. Your Sales Consultant will be able to walk you through the process and give you an educated estimate for your specific home.

Are there more floor plans available than the ones on the site?

This solution works well for the exacting needs of most Home Buyers, and chances are very good that we have a plan to suit your needs. Please bring your plan to one of our Build on Your Lot Sales Consultants and we can review it together and help make your dream home a reality.

What kind of financing do you require to build on our lot?

Building on your lot requires either a cash contract or a construction loan. Our Preferred Lender has great options available, and their rates are very competitive. Your Sales Consultant can get you started on that process.

Why does it (sometimes) cost more to build on your own land than in a community?

In many cases, when purchasing a home in a community, there are many costs that are spread out over each lot which equates to a smaller portion per home built. When building on your own lot, these costs are all attributed to your lot only. In a community that is in the development stage a standard set of plans is approved in advance, permits are obtained for all homes together, each plan is engineered once, the developers have already razed the land, prepared utilities for easy access and more. In a community actively being built out, there are typically several homes being built at the same time which reduces overhead.

When building on your lot we have to start from scratch. If a structure exists it needs to be demolished and removed, and the ground needs to be prepared for the new home’s foundation. We have to establish utility service or re-run utility lines, test the soil, survey the property, obtain various permits, and have the plans approved by the local jurisdiction. Finally, contractors typically need to make a special trip to work on a home that isn’t in an active community.

But most importantly, through David Weekley’s Build on Your Lot program you can get exactly what you want, we can customize the home however you need, and you don’t have to “settle!”

Will you build outside the coverage area shown on your site? We live a few miles outside it.

Depending on your specific situation we may be able to build outside of our coverage area. However, depending on the location of your land there may be an out-of-area fee. Please see your sales consultant to get specific information.
