Our Process

At Shawn Forth Homes we have worked with hundreds of homeowners over more than 25 years.  We have found that process of building a home is more enjoyable when all the selections are made in the beginning.  This allows you to know your final price before we start construction and you can relax and watch the process unfold. By making all your decisions and approving your selections before the start of construction you will have the peace of mind to know your final price, we promise. We have a design consultant on staff to help you navigate through the selections process. All Your choices will be posted on our Home Owner Portal called “CoConstruct”. so that you know your pricing and budget in real time.  This allows you to see your selections, ask questions, view your and manage the financial portion of your Purchase Agreement.
