If you choose to purchase a Character Companies home while it is under construction, our team will guide you through the remaining steps to personalize the home and make it your own. Depending on the stage of construction, you may have the opportunity to select certain finishes and details, allowing your personal style to be reflected in the final design.
Because each home follows a carefully planned construction schedule, customization opportunities may become more limited as the project progresses. Modifications to layouts, materials, or selections may be subject to availability and, in some cases, may require a change order fee depending on the scope of the request and the stage of construction. Our team will walk you through available options and timelines to ensure the process remains smooth, transparent, and enjoyable.
