OUR PROCESS

Five steps, one accountable team

Building with Integrity Homes in Grand Junction and across Western Colorado follows five clear steps: take the Home Design Quiz, choose your plan and lot, sign your agreement and meet our designer, approve your final quote, then follow construction in your online Client Portal.

Once we break ground, the Client Portal shows your build schedule, progress photos, selections and messages from any device, so you always know what is happening on your home and what we need from you next.

Your journey to a new home

We make the process simple and transparent from your first conversation to move-in day. Talk with Integrity Homes about your next step.

Step 1

Take the Home Design Quiz

Before we meet, share your ideas, budget, and timeline through our quick quiz. This helps us understand your goals so we can hit the ground running during our first conversation.

Step 2

Plan & Lot Selection

Finding the perfect fit. We’ll meet to explore floor plans, evaluate your lot, and discuss your “wish list.” Together, we’ll align your lifestyle with a budget and a plan that works. You’ll receive a preliminary quote tailored to your specific property conditions and home choice.

Step 3

Agreement & Design Consult

Technical precision meets personal style. Once you sign the agreement and pay a deposit, we move into the technical phase. We order your soil report and coordinate with a structural engineer to design a foundation and truss system specific to your lot. Simultaneously, you’ll meet with our designer to select the finishes and upgrades that make the house yours. Ready to discuss your lot, plan, and design priorities? You can schedule a custom-home consultation with Integrity Homes.

Step 4

Final Quote and Approvals

With your selections finalized and engineering complete, we prepare your comprehensive final quote. We’ll meet to review the full package and get your signature on the final plans, drainage layouts, and job details. Once the paperwork is polished, we are ready to break ground.

Step 5

Construction & Client Portal

Real-time progress at your fingertips. As construction begins, Buildertrend is your transparent Client Portal. From any device, you can review project messages, see the build schedule, view progress photos, and track selections, scope updates, and approvals in one place. That makes it easier to understand what is happening now and what you need to decide next. From site preparation and excavation handled by our in-house High Grade Concrete & Excavation team through the final walkthrough, Integrity Homes keeps you connected from the first pour to the day we hand you the keys.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take?

Every home is different, but most builds take several months from planning to completion. Your timeline depends on factors like the size of the home, design changes, permitting, weather, and material availability. Integrity Homes works to keep the process moving efficiently and provides updates throughout the build.

Can I make changes?

Yes. Integrity Homes allows customization throughout the planning stage, including floor plan adjustments and finish selections. During the agreement phase, you can make up to two plan revisions before additional drafting fees apply. Once construction begins, changes may impact pricing and timeline depending on the scope of the request.

What is included?

Integrity Homes manages the process from design to construction. Services can include floor plan customization, permitting, site preparation, foundation work, construction management, design consultations, and access to an online Client Portal for tracking progress and communication. Landscaping and optional upgrades may also be available depending on your project and budget.

How do allowances work?

Allowances are budgeted amounts set aside for selections such as flooring, cabinets, lighting, plumbing fixtures, and finishes. During your design consultation, you’ll choose products that fit within those allowance amounts or decide if you’d like to upgrade certain features. Any upgrades or changes are reviewed and priced before final approval.

How do I know what the final price is?

Integrity Homes provides a preliminary quote early in the process based on your plan, lot, and wish list. After your plans, engineering, and selections are finalized, you’ll receive a detailed final quote that includes approved upgrades and specifications before construction begins.

How often will I get updates?

You’ll receive regular communication throughout the project, and Integrity Homes also provides access to an online Client Portal where you can view schedules, approvals, progress photos, and communicate directly with the team from any device.

Can I use my own realtor?

Yes. Many buyers choose to work with their own realtor during the home-building process. Integrity Homes can coordinate with your agent throughout planning, contracts, and construction to help keep communication smooth and organized.

What financing do I need?

Most custom home projects require a construction loan that converts into a traditional mortgage once the home is complete. Integrity Homes does not provide in-house financing, but we can recommend trusted lenders experienced with construction loans and custom home financing.
