ROAD MAP TO SUCCESS!
Congratulations on the purchase of your new home! During the next several months, we will work together to
make the construction of your new home a pleasurable experience. Please assist us in this process by completing the
following decision making tasks by the times stated. Your timely cooperation will aid in the summation of a successful
project.
1.
It is very important that you familiarize yourself with your purchase agreement as we will rely on the accuracy of
these documents for the proper construction of your home. If you believe that something is not correct in your
purchase agreement or if you have any questions about its contents, please contact your sales representative
directly.
To help you understand the construction process we have listed the usual construction sequence (attached).
Due to scheduling, weather and inspections, it is normal to have several days delay between
stages of construction.
2.
Plumbing fixtures are pre-selected per plan and are described in your contract (Exhibit “E”). If you desire to
make changes to the plumbing fixtures, you must make your selections before construction begins. Plumbing
fixtures are purchased through our plumbing contractor at J. W. Woods. You may make an appointment
with Dana Bird to select fixtures at the J. W. Woods showroom. Pricing will be available to you through
our office approximately one week after you make your selections. Please let us know soon if you have changed
or upgraded any fixtures. We will not accept plumbing fixtures provided by others.

Entry door is pre-selected per plan and is described in your contract (Exhibit “E”). If you would like to upgrade
the entry door, please make your selection with Phil at Weaver Lumber. Your selection must be made before
construction begins. Please note that failure to select the upgraded entry door before construction
commencement will result in additional costs for painting. Please let us know soon if you have made any
changes or selections.

Approximately two weeks into construction, the trim is painted on the facia boards and the roof shingles are
installed. Please make an appointment with Jane Fontana at Westwood Window Coverings before
construction begins. She will be happy to assist you with the color selections including; trim (paint), stucco
(body color), masonry (if applicable), roof shingles, garage door(s) and entry door (paint).

5.
Appliances are pre-selected per plan and are described in your contract (Exhibit “E”). If you would like to see
the appliances or discuss different options with an appliance representative, you may do so by
scheduling an appointment with Carmona’s Appliance Center – Joe Heslin. Appliances must be
selected before your cabinets may be designed. Please finalize your appliance selection while your home is in

the framing stage. Any upgrades not included in your contract should be paid directly to Carmona’s Appliance
Center. Please let us know ASAP if you have any upgraded selections. If we do not receive notification from
you during the framing stage of the project, we will allow the cabinets to be constructed around the appliances
specified in Exhibit “E”.

6.
Interior color selections become important during the rough electrical phase of construction. During this time
we are finalizing cabinet plans, ordering appliances and thinking ahead to floor coverings. Once again, please
make an appointment with Jane Fontana at Westwood Window Coverings. This appointment will be
interior related. She will assist you in selecting interior paint, cabinet stain, ceramic tile, grout, Formica flooring.
If you wish to upgrade flooring, you may pay the additional cost directly to the flooring supplier through Jane
Fontana at your decorating meeting.
7.
During the sheetrock phase of construction, please select your lighting fixtures at North Valley Lighting. We ask
that you do not schedule an appointment until the rough electrical has been completed. An
appointment will need to be made with Terri at North Valley Lighting. We will not accept light fixtures provided
by others.

8.
Your contract specifies the amount and type of concrete flatwork (driveways, walks, patios etc.) that will be
placed. Towards the end of the project you will meet with our concrete contractor if you wish to make
modifications or additions to the concrete flatwork. The concrete flatwork will be placed upon your written
approval of the design and cost. Please note our concrete contractor will be contacting you directly to schedule
a meeting.
9.
After the concrete driveway and walks have been placed, you will be asked to meet with our landscape
contractor to discuss landscape possibilities. Landscaping is specified in Exhibit “D” or “E”. The landscape
contractor will follow the contract unless you tell him otherwise. We will proceed with the landscaping upon
your approval of design and cost if applicable.
At the same time you will also go over the fencing as specified in Exhibit “D” or “E” of your contract. In most
instances fencing is self-explanatory and we will not need your input. On some occasions, however, the building
property may include unique features such as greenbelts, declining slopes or extreme size that may affect
fencing. If your property falls into this category or if you wish to discuss changes or additions to the fencing,
you can do so at this time. We will proceed with the fencing upon your approval of its location, style and price.
Please note our landscape/fencing contractor will be contacting you directly to schedule a meeting.
10.
Our final request from you is that you ENJOY YOURSELF! Let’s face it; you don’t have the opportunity to have
a brand new home built to your specifications every day! It is very important to us that you enjoy your building
experience. Our staff will make every attempt to make your building experience pleasurable. If you are
enjoying the experience, please tell someone. If you are not, TELL US!
Once again, thank you for selecting NORTHWEST HOMES as your contractor. We appreciate your business.
