UNDERSTANDING HOA DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
When building a home in an HOA-governed community, homeowners must comply with an array of design standards, including:
- Architectural Style: HOAs may mandate specific styles, such as modern, traditional, or Craftsman.
- Exterior Colors and Materials: Many HOAs restrict color palettes or require the use of approved materials like wood, brick, or stone.
- Roofing and Siding Specifications: Guidelines often dictate roofing materials, siding types, and window styles.
- Lot Placement and Landscaping: To maintain uniformity, HOAs may regulate setbacks, driveway designs, and landscaping elements.
- Height and Square Footage Limits: Home size and height restrictions are standard to ensure homes complement the surrounding properties.
Navigating these requirements can be overwhelming, especially with the complexities of designing and building a new home. We help simplify the process by working closely with homeowners and HOAs to ensure compliance without compromising creativity or functionality.

CUSTOMZIED DESIGN SERVICES
Our in-house design team specializes in creating homes tailored to the homeowner’s vision while adhering to HOA guidelines. Using advanced design tools like Revit, CAD, and SketchUp, we craft detailed plans that incorporate the specific requirements of your HOA. For example, suppose your HOA requires a traditional architectural style with specific roofing materials. In that case, we’ll incorporate those elements into your home’s design while adding personal touches to make it uniquely yours. Our ability to modify our popular prefabricated home packages or create fully customized designs ensures that every home we build is compliant and distinctive.
