On Your Lot Series by True Homes

Why Build an On Your Lot Home with True Homes?

Building your dream home is a monumental undertaking, one that requires careful planning, expert guidance, and a trusted partner to navigate the complexities of the process. That’s where True Homes’ On Your Lot program steps in, offering a comprehensive and hassle-free solution for homeowners.

At True Homes, we understand that creating your ideal living space is a deeply personal journey. That’s why we’ve curated a team of experts, each specializing in a different aspect of the home-building process, to ensure your home vision becomes a reality. Our team includes a Sales Advisor, a Land and Lot Development specialist, a Design Studio Consultant, and a Personal Builder, all dedicated to making your dream home a tangible and stress-free experience.

Being the largest private homebuilder in the Carolinas comes with its advantages, and we leverage our scale and supply chain to offer exceptional value to our On Your Lot clients. We understand that affordability is a crucial factor in making your dream home a reality.


A fundamental step in bringing your dream home to life is the Site Evaluation. This involves determining the appropriate foundation, optimal lot layout and placement, adherence to setback regulations, and consideration of easements, among other vital aspects. At True Homes, we offer this essential service to our clients at no additional cost, ensuring that the construction process starts on a solid foundation.

We take the guesswork and stress out of the building process. When you partner with True Homes, we lock in your price at the contract stage, ensuring no unexpected “cost plus” charges or surprise change orders. You can have peace of mind knowing that the price you agreed upon is the price you’ll pay.

Time is of the essence when building your dream home. With True Homes, we pledge to deliver your brand-new dream home “contract to keys” in a remarkable 9-12 months, allowing you to settle into your dream home quickly.

Your Dream. Our Process.

 Here’s a simplified breakdown of the True Homes On Your Lot program:

Step 1 - Tell Us About Your Lot


The journey to your dream home starts with your lot. We'll need to understand the lot dimensions, setbacks, and other characteristics of your lot in order to guide you through floorplan selection. We have 200+ floorplans, so helping guide you to the perfect plan is our first step.


Step 2 – Determining Your Budget



After you choose your plan, we will perform a site evaluation, which will provide you with all the turnkey site work costs. We will also determine the best foundation for your home, utility configurations, house placement, etc. We will still be under your budget at this point.


Step 3 - Create an Options Wish List


Your dedicated True Homes Advisor will walk you through all of the structural options and evaluation choices for your plan that will bring your dream home into focus.



Step 4 - Sign a Purchasing Agreement


Once you've identified your lot, your budget, floorplan, and structural options, it's time to sign a purchase agreement for your dream home.


This marks the beginning of your exciting journey towards building your new home!



Step 5 - Personalization


With your purchase agreement in place, you'll meet with your dedicated Design Studio consultant to start selecting finishes, fixtures, and other details for your home.


True Homes will then complete your personalized construction plans and submit them for building permits, kicking off the pre-construction phase.


Step 6 - Construction Begins


Your home will start taking shape once framing begins, and during this stage, your dedicated Personal Builder will reach out to schedule your New Home Review meeting.


From the time you sign the contract to the moment you receive your keys, our expedited timeframe averages less than 12 months, ensuring a swift and efficient construction process.


Step 7 - Enjoy Your New True Home!


Once your new True Home is completed, you can step into your dream home, where your vision has been brought to life with expert craftsmanship and personalization.
