Building Your Kansas City Home, Step by Step

At Patriot Homes, we believe building a custom home should be exciting and rewarding. Our dedicated team guides you through every step of the home-building process, from selecting your floor plan and homesite to design selections, construction, final walkthrough, and closing day.

With a commitment to personalized service, clear communication, quality craftsmanship, and attention to detail, we make it easier to bring your vision for a new home to life. Explore the Patriot Homes building process below and discover what to expect when building your new home in the Kansas City area.

Choose a Floor Plan & Homesite

Once you've selected a new home community, the onsite real estate agent can assist with identifying a floor plan and accompanying homesite to best suit your lifestyle and budget as well as help you get pre-qualified with a mortgage lender. We'll meet with you to discuss customization options and pricing, provide an overview of the build process, and answer any questions you may have before going to contract.

Construction Kick-Off Meeting

We'll introduce you to our team and confirm the details of your build, review the construction schedule, finalize any additional floor plan modifications, and have you make some initial design selections. We'll also provide a brief overview of our online client portal where you'll be able to track the progress of your home in real time, send messages, make selections, pay invoices, and more.

Construction & Design Selections

Once construction is underway, your home will quickly begin to take shape! During this time you'll meet with our designers to select interior and exterior finishes - everything from paint and tile to countertops, light fixtures, cabinet hardware, and more. Other items such as plumbing fixtures, appliances, and door profiles are chosen through the online client portal.

Homeowner Orientation

We'll take you through the home and provide a comprehensive overview of the mechanical and electrical systems, identify final touch-ups and/or adjustments needed prior to closing, and answer any questions you may have.

Final Walkthrough & Closing Day

The day before closing, we'll do a final walkthrough of the home to ensure all touch-ups and/or adjustments have been addressed and provide you with information about our limited home warranty. On your closing day, you'll meet with the escrow manager at our preferred title company to review and sign closing documents. Once the paperwork has been processed, you'll receive the keys to your new home and can celebrate being a #PatriotProud homeowner!

Home Warranty Period

Your home is covered by a limited home warranty that we'll service three months and 11 months after closing. Information about the warranty program will be provided at the conclusion of your Homeowner Orientation.

Built Different Doesn't End at Closing

Our commitment continues after you receive the keys. Every Patriot home includes a limited home warranty, with scheduled service at six and eleven months after closing—because quality craftsmanship should be backed by service long after move-in day.

6-Month Warranty Service | 11-Month Warranty Service
