| 1. Customer Orientation
Inspection Prior to closing, you and
our construction manager will meet at your new home for an orientation and inspection.
The purpose of this meeting is to familiarize you with the features of your new home, how the
systems and equipment work, how to properly maintain the various fine finishes and identify
any cosmetic defects which need to be corrected prior to your move. Repair of subsequent
cosmetic damages (chips, dents, scratches, etc) is considered to be your responsibility after
you move it.
2. Correction of Orientation Inspection
Punchlist
We will make every effort to correct all items on the
orientation punchlist prior to your move in or within three business days, whichever is later.
Sometimes subcontractors need to be scheduled or materials need to be ordered, in which
case you should expect completion within 15 business days unless access to your home is
difficult to schedule.
3. 60-Day Walk-Thru
As you settle into your new home you may discover
items which may required customer service. We like to minimize the number of visits our
workers make into your home once occupied, so we ask that you keep a cumulative list of
attention items so that we can send a person to your home and correct everything at once.
This system is very important for us to be able to provide top quality service to
everyone. You are provided with 60-day Service Request Forms which we will ask you to
fill out and send to our office. Requests for service must be in writing. ONLY
REPORTS OF EMERGENCY ITEMS CAN BE TAKEN OVER THE PHONE. We consider emergency items
those which make the home uninhabitable, such as plumbing, heating, electrical, security
problems, etc. We will provide you with emergency numbers for those related trades.
4. 11-Month Walk-Thru
Since your warranty period expires one year from
closing, we like to get a head start on your year-end requests. You are provided with
11-month Request Forms which we ask you to use in exactly the same manner as the 60-Day forms.
5. Correction Time
On both the 60-Day and11-Month requests, we will
normally be able to make all of the corrections within 15 business days. The most common
causes of delays are usually scheduling problems with the homeowner and subcontractors.
The more flexible you can be on scheduling, the sooner the work will be done. |
