Four reasons to consider a to-be-built home
Bring your dream home to life
When it comes to a new home, there are so many exciting possibilities. You’re able to choose your own experience and the type of new home that fits your lifestyle and needs. For example, a move-in ready home, is a new home that is already complete (or nearly complete), and a great option if you’re looking for a quick turnaround time. The floorplan and homesite have been chosen and our design experts have selected fixtures and features that fit perfectly within the home. Then there’s the to-be-built home. With this new home, you get to pick your favorite floorplan and homesite. You can even choose flexdesign® options — like extra garage space or a chic home office. And don’t forget about the personalization component. You can work with our Design Studio experts to select countertops, paint colors, flooring, cabinet materials, and everything in between that will turn a new home into your dream home. Want to learn more? Let’s dive into four reasons to consider a to-be-built home and why it may be the ideal option for your next move.

"With a to-be-built home you have options. It’s how you want it to look and nobody else has lived in it, so you can design it to fit your style.”
Use of structural options to customize your floorplan
With a to-be-built home, you have the amazing opportunity to select your specific structural options, which will allow you to customize your floorplan. This means more flexible spaces that meet your needs with so many exciting possibilities. You may be looking for extra space to accommodate some changes in your life or wanting a spacious floorplan for entertaining — whatever your preference, we design thoughtfully crafted homes that allow the option for flexible spaces. Choose a den over a bedroom to create a perfect home office or pick a space for the home gym you’ve always wanted. An optional extended island is a great choice to add additional seating and even more counter space. Select base cabinets in the dining room to add more storage space, because who doesn’t need more room for storage? It’s all about a new home designed to elevate your everyday and a space that provides flexibility.
One of the best things about the homebuilding process is you can explore your selected floorplan from the comfort of your own home, on your own time, and as often as you want with tools like our virtual 3D walkthrough experience. It provides the opportunity to view your floorplan selection before construction even begins. And it brings an unparalleled new home shopping experience that will inspire, simplify, and guide you to your dream home.

Homesite selection options
While a to-be-built home takes a bit more time to build, it has amazing perks, including the flexibility to pick from more homesites and locations within the neighborhood. With broader homesite selections, you have the ability to review available floorplans and exterior styling options. Compared to a move-in ready home, for example, which has a shorter move-in timeframe, but doesn’t afford the opportunity to pick from a large selection of homesites. Another perk? Our team is with you every step of the way — from beginning to end — to ensure a streamlined process.
With any Tri Pointe home, you get the opportunity to move into a new neighborhood with an array of amenities. From community gardens to walking trails, you have the opportunity to develop bonds with your neighbors, get a daily dose of enjoyment, and connect with your community. When looking for a new home community, you can take advantage of the Interactive Community Site Map, which offers a dynamic view of the neighborhood, available homesites and their proximity to all the community has to offer. Whether your ideal spot is in the heart of the neighborhood or slightly more secluded, this tool can help point you toward a home that’s just right for you.

A home designed by you to fit your lifestyle and needs
When you purchase a to-be-built home, you have the flexibility to create the home you’ve always envisioned. Thoughtfully designed homes for today’s lifestyle are becoming a ‘must have’ with spacious layouts, stylish exteriors, flexible room options, and privacy. When you build your own new Tri Pointe home, you get to personalize your space via the Design Studio. The Design Studio allows you to let your inner designer loose and create a new home that fits your aesthetic. One of the best things about buying a to-be-built home is that you get to personalize all the fixtures and finishes to match your style. Upgrade your kitchen cabinets and countertops, add some brass or black hardware, choose flooring that matches your aesthetic — it’s all possible when you buy a to-be-built home. And interactive floorplans and virtual walkthrough tours will immerse you in the home design. With tools like our Room Visualizer, you can instantly see design options in an immersive 360˚ way — from countertops and cabinets to paint colors and flooring choices — it helps you visualize the design you’ve always wanted.

Coverage (and comfort) you can count on
While your dream home is being constructed, our community teams keep you updated every step of the way. They will review your floorplan, selected structural options and design choices, exterior styling, and discuss the homebuilding process with you. It’s a great way to receive regular updates and get any of your questions answered as your new home is being built, and ensure you’re informed with next steps. And once your home is framed, your Construction Manager will walk you through your home to review what’s inside the walls and make sure you’re informed about the construction of your new home. This will ensure you’re educated and connected to the building process. After all, it’s an exciting time and we want to share all the pivotal milestones with you. Another advantage of a new home? A new home warranty. This means less worry over initial repairs that may be needed — providing you with the peace of mind that your new home is in good hands.
