FEATURES

Step 1 – Lot Selection

MAC Homes will assist you in finding the appropriate lot to meet your desired wishes and lifestyle. We can also assist in assessing if there are any concerns with a lot that you may already be interested in. MAC Homes also has a variety of lots within our inventory that is available to a prospective buyer.

Step 2 – Initial Project Assessment

An approximate budget, construction timeline, and other possible costs that may arise specific to the lot or community chosen (i.e. architectural requirements, landscaping requirements, retaining walls, septic fields, etc), will be discussed with the client. Budget pricing will be provided based on the level of specifications desired by the client. The purpose of this stage is so that MAC Homes has a clear understanding of what the client is looking for, what is important to the client, and if there are any limitations that may have to be addressed. This also allows the client to get a clear understanding of what to expect from MAC Homes throughout the entire process right up to occupancy and completion.

Step 3 – Design Process

If the client is comfortable with the budget and tentative construction timelines then the next step would be to enter into the design process. At this time, MAC Homes will require a design deposit and coordinate a series of meeting with our designer as well as Project Coordinator to start the design of your new home. This process will likely take approximately 3 months, however could take longer depending on the size and complexity of the home, as well availability of the client for design meeting and timing to make decision on design changes. One way to expedite this process is for the client to accumulate pictures of homes they like, whether that be of exteriors or interiors, via magazines, or actual photographs.

Step 4 – Specifications Review

As the plans are nearing completion, the client will work with MAC Homes Project Coordinator to review the specifications, and identify any desired changes they would like incorporated into the original agreement. This will allow for the pricing to be comprehensive and cover all of the elements that the client desires to include into the original purchase contract. The client still can make modifications to the actual products (like cabinets, lighting, flooring, railing, colors, etc) going into their home when they visit the MAC Homes trade partners.

Step 5 – Final Pricing

Once the design has been finalized, and specifications have been reviewed, MAC Homes will accumulate final pricing and present to the client. This process may take approximately 2-3 weeks, primarily depending on complexity of the home. The client will be provided with a fixed price, based on the plans and specifications.

Step 6 – Enter into ANHWP Purchase Contract

If the client is happy with the pricing, the client and MAC Homes will enter into a Purchase Contract, a deposit towards the construction will be required at this time.

Step 7 – Submission for Architectural Control

The client as well as MAC Homes Project Coordinator will work to choose all of the elements required for Architectural Approval, including landscape plan, exterior colours etc. This will be submitted for approval to the developer.

Step 8 – Apply for building permit and start construction

Once A/C approval has been given, plans will be submitted for development and building permits and survey work will be done and construction will start. During the first few months, the client will meet with various MAC Homes trade partners to complete their final interior selections. MAC Homes Project Coordination will facilitate this process and provide guidance and assistance, as well coordinate walkthroughs of the home at various stages.

Step 9 – Notice of possession and pre-occupancy walkthrough

Approximately 35 days before the client’s home is complete, the client will be provided with a Possession Letter confirming the actual date for taking possession of their new home. There will be a pre-possession walkthrough of the home done approximately 1 week before actual possession. This will allow MAC Homes to rectify any minor items that may need to be corrected. The client will also be provided orientation of various components of their home such as plumbing systems, HVAC systems, alarm systems, home automation systems, etc.

Step 10 – First year 6 month and 12 month post possessions warranty walkthroughs

There will be 2 walkthroughs during the first year post possession to ensure everything is fine, and make any minor adjustments as required, and answer any questions a client may have on their home.
