What to Expect During the Home Building Process

Building your dream home is an exciting journey, and at William Ryan Homes, we’re with you every step of the way to make the process smooth, transparent, and uniquely yours. From selecting the perfect floor plan to watching the finishing touches come together, here’s a guide to what you can expect from start to finish.
Step 1: Choose Your Perfect Home
The journey begins with finding the ideal home design that meets your needs, lifestyle, and aesthetic preferences. Using our online tools like Interactive Site Maps, floor plans, and plan comparison features, you can explore our diverse selection of homes. With each click, you can envision your future home, comparing layouts, room configurations, and available lots.
If you need any assistance, our dedicated online sales counselors are ready to answer questions by phone or email, helping you narrow down the choices until you find “the one.”
Step 2: Purchase with Confidence
Once you’ve chosen your dream home, we’re here to make the purchasing process straightforward and stress-free. At this stage, our team will walk you through the financial aspects, ensuring you understand your investment and feel confident about your decision.
Buying a new home is a big deal—whether you're a first-time homebuyer or an experienced homeowner! At Wiliam Ryan Homes, our experts are ready to assist with financing options, timelines, and paperwork to ensure everything is clear and manageable.
Together with Mutual Of Omaha Mortgage, we’ve formed Home Loan Express; HLX Mortgage will provide you with an exceptional home buying experience, while offering competitive rates and a range of home mortgage solutions.
Step 3: Personalize Your Space
Making your new home truly yours is where the fun begins! We believe every home should reflect the people living in it, so we offer a wide range of customization options for both structural elements and design finishes. From additional add-on room options to selecting countertops, cabinetry, flooring, and fixtures, this stage lets you add personal touches and tailor your home to your tastes.
Throughout this process, you’ll work with our in-house Design Center specialists who provide guidance and insight, ensuring that every choice enhances your new space.
Our “Making Homes Personal” philosophy is not just a tagline—it’s a commitment to giving you the tools and support to create a space that feels unmistakably yours.
Step 4: Build and Watch the Progress
Once your selections are finalized, the building phase kicks off! This stage is managed by our experienced superintendents and construction crews, who are dedicated to maintaining quality and timeliness. With William Ryan Homes, you’ll have the opportunity to stay involved through on-site orientations. These walkthroughs allow you to meet with the superintendent and gain insight into your home’s construction.
To make tracking progress even easier, we provide access to MyHome24-7, a personalized hub where you can view updates, ask questions, and stay connected to each stage of your home’s construction journey.
Step 5: Live Your Dream
When construction wraps up, it's time for the big moment: moving in! But our commitment doesn’t end here. We provide a final walkthrough to ensure that every detail is completed to your satisfaction, and we’re here to answer any questions as you settle into your new space, including reviewing our warranty protection.
