Build on Your Lot

Your Builder is Your Partner

Whether building in a development or on your own lot in the country you will plan and list your wants and needs, prepare a budget, and decide on a home style. It is a big job and often it’s helpful to have an industry professional to work with you. Our team provides early stage consultation and is particularly helpful when you are building on a lot that needs to be prepared as a building site.

Graf’s Five Steps for Build on Your Lot

STEP 1: LOT INSPECTION

Our team will meet with you to physically inspect the lot, review lines, grades, utilities, code requirements, and any other information necessary to generate an accurate cost estimate.

STEP 2: COST ESTIMATE
The Graf team will deliver a cost estimate to you before you purchase a lot. Your cost estimate will reflect the estimated price of all land related charges as well as the cost of the home with any additional features. Land related costs vary depending on site conditions, local building codes, and available utilities.
STEP 3: CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT
When both parties agree to move forward, the estimate of costs becomes part of your agreement. As you progress through the construction process, Graf provides you with a refined and final estimate of costs at each stage.
STEP 4: PLAN AND PRE-BUILD MEETING
Before Graf breaks ground, you can review your custom blueprints. Graf reviews all of your paperwork and selections and gives you an opportunity to make changes prior to the start of construction.
STEP 5: PROCEED WITH CONSTRUCTION

Our team uses only the best materials to build your home. The Built Smart™ Construction System assure that you get the best house per square foot while staying within the budget you set! Graf builds in the Greater Butler County, PA area and the North Pittsburgh and Cranberry region. School districts include Seneca Valley, Butler and Knoch.
