How We Build

Lanthorne Homes are the result of a new approach to building homes, developed to make the journey to a new home more efficient, less stressful and ultimately quicker. Our team, guided by the values of hospitality and quality, is dedicated to helping you craft the space where your life’s best moments can unfold

Lanthorne Homes Build Process

Choose your lot and floor plan

We’re excited to welcome you to the start of your home-building journey! Explore our variety of homes, floor plans, and customization options. Once you’ve chosen your lot, home plan, and any structural enhancements, you’ll sign the sales agreement and take the first step toward building your dream home.

Design Selections

You’ll receive a personalized link to view your home in 3D and explore our design library. Next, we’ll schedule a visit to our Design Center, where you can experience products firsthand and finalize your selections. Before construction begins, you’ll meet with your project manager for a pre-construction review.

Label

Breaking Ground

As we begin construction—often called the “vertical stage”—our focus will be on laying the foundation, framing, and roofing. You’ll also have the opportunity to join us for the MEP Walk, your first on-site visit with the construction crew.

Building your dream home

Your vision comes to life as your home takes shape, from drywall installation to exterior landscaping. During this phase, you’ll conduct a Punch Walk to review any final details and ensure every element is just right.

Welcome Home

The day has arrived! At the final walk through, you’ll see the culmination of hard work and planning. To ensure your satisfaction, we offer a 45-day and 11-month warranty, giving you peace of mind as you settle into your new home.

Digital Build Center

We make the design process as easy, and fun, as possible for our clients.

Thanks to innovative digital technology and our design experts, the planning of your home project is more efficient than ever. With these tools, and an array of meticulously designed floorplans, you can now visualize and design your home quickly, often in just one session.

Design Center

Our digital design team makes the process personal, hands-on, and fun—helping you visualize your space, define your style, and add the finishing touches. From start to finish, we guide you every step of the way for a faster, smoother, and more enjoyable home-building experience.

Real Estate Center

Part of making the journey to your new home simpler is streamlining the mortgage process. Our team of experts will help you secure the mortgage that’s best for you and your situation, from construction loans to get the ball rolling to a more traditional loan once the home's complete and you're all settled in.
