Welcome to a different building experience.

We sit down with you, talk about your land, your budget and how you live. We tour the model homes and answer any of your questions. We talk about floorplans, options and upgrades that fit your budget. We put together a ballpark estimate of your new home project. 

Financing a manufactured or modular home on your own land works a little differently from a typical mortgage. We’ll introduce you to banks, credit unions and mortgage brokers who have financed our homes before and know the process. The choice of lender is always yours. 

Once you have your pre-approval letter, you will retain Schiavi Homes as your builder. (Retainer funds are applied to the contract balance). We will schedule a site visit of your property and begin building your project on paper. This means we will define the complete scope of work and quote the entire project. During this time, our team works directly with you and your bank. We get your lender what they need, answer their questions, and keep both of you updated so the paperwork doesn’t stall. 

Leave the magnifying glass at home. We sit down with you and read the contract out loud line by line, so you know exactly what’s included, what isn’t, and what happens if something changes along the way. Ask us anything. Nothing gets signed until you’re comfortable. 

Once your contract is signed, your project isn’t passed off to strangers. Our construction team already knows your file, and they take it from here. 

One of the first steps after signing your contract is the Meet & Greet meeting. At this meeting, you will meet the team that will make your home a reality. During the meeting, our team will set the expectation of communication from excavation to occupancy walk through. They will also review the details of the scope of work, so everyone is on the same page about your project.

We handle the town for you: permits, the code enforcement office, and every inspection along the way.  Every town has its own permit requirements, fees and schedule. You don’t need to navigate any of it. We’re the builder, so we handle the permitting. Because fees vary by town and project, permit costs are billed separately once the town sets them. 

Our own crews prep the lot, pour the slab, set your home, and finish it. Any work requiring licensed trades like electrical and well drilling is handled by longtime partners we schedule, manage and answer for. Our team keeps you updated at every stage. 

We work with your bank for disbursements and the final payments. We keep the bank up to date on progress throughout the build process so that any required inspections happen on time. We will also begin prepping for completion approximately 4 weeks prior to occupancy walk through so closing goes smoothly. 

We walk through your finished home with you and hand you the keys.
