• Planning: Here is where we listen to you and help you craft the home that you have envisioned.

• Lot or home site: We will meet you at the lot or site to review advantages and disadvantages in regards to house placement, drainage etc.

• Blueprints: Brightleaf Development works in conjunction with your Architect to aid in the design and pricing of the home of your dreams.

• Bidding: We will solicit and procure bids for the various aspects of the construction. We have developed a cadre of dependable and top performing trade contractors and suppliers who have been with us for years.

• Contract: Our current contract has been reviewed, redesigned, reworded and refined over the course of 30 years. Our intent is to keep it up-to-date and fair for both parties. 

• Changes to the contract: In over 30 years in the homebuilding business, we have yet to build a home without changes once construction has begun. Some things to Note:
  • Changes are not to be feared: we understand that for most people it is difficult to visualize an architectural detail until the construction has begun. However, be aware that the most cost effective and time efficient way to make decisions is in the design phase.

• Our Client Workbook: We have developed a unique method for making the process of building easier on our busy clients. The Client Workbook organizes all of your decisions, answers your questions, provides personalized information on suppliers and materials and much more. In addition, if you are new to our area we include a pre-programmed GPS device to aid you in finding your way around.

• Schedule: Our computerized schedule is always up-to-date. You will always know what phase of construction your house is in at any given time.

• Construction: We will assign a Job Supervisor and a Project Coordinator to you. You will always deal with the same person, someone who is familiar with your house and can answer your questions or concerns.

• Job site visits: We will schedule regular progress meetings for you and will have in attendance all the people involved with the current status of your home.

• Final walk through: We will join you and your Architect in a walk- through of your home prior to your moving in. We will note any problems and assist you in understanding the components of your house.

• Move-in: At Brightleaf Development Co. we don’t just build your house, wish you well and walk away. We will supply you with the information you need to make your moving task easier. We will also provide you, with our compliments, a one year subscription membership to Brightleaf Customer Care with all the services and privileges related to that program. www.BrightleafCustomerCare.com

• Punch Lists: After you have moved in and lived in your new house for 30 days, please compile a list of things that you would like repaired or adjusted. We will schedule the repairs to be completed as soon as possible.   We will also contact you after you have lived in your home for eleven months for our year-end review.

• Warranty: We provide a one-year warranty, which commences upon receipt of a Certificate of Occupancy from the local Building Inspection office. We adhere to the nationally accepted standards as published in “Residential Construction Performance Guidelines” - Consumer Reference (third edition) .
