Our team can guide a homebuyer through an entire one-stop-shopping process. MAKING IT EASY TO BUILD A QUALITY HOME One of the cornerstones of the Centex homebuilding process is a customer-focused quality assurance program known as Centex Certainty. At its heart is a team approach to homebuilding that emphasizes communication and customer involvement. Once a contract is signed, homebuyers set up a consultation with one of the professionals at the Centex Design Center. There, they pick out all the colors, finishes, fixtures, flooring, cabinets, and other materials to make their home uniquely their own. Centex offers an excellent choice of high quality standard fixtures and materials, plus a wide selection of optional upgrades for the person who really wants a custom look, explained Design Center director Tammy Brown. Once construction begins, individual Field Managers are assigned to each house. They meet with the homebuyers at several points during the building process including before construction begins, prior to sheetrock being placed, before settlement and at closing. Because good communications are critical to success, the Field Managers contact homeowners approximately every ten days to update them on their home s progress. The construction process from start to finish takes approximately 2-1/2 months for Eagle s Pointe, 3-1/2 months for the Waterford neighborhood of The Crescent and up to 5 months for Victory Point at The Crescent. Centex provides a 10-year warranty on the structure and a two-year warranty on mechanical components in every home. We try to insure homeowners have no problems when they move in, said Construction Superintendent David Sewell. That s Centex Certainty. Finally, homebuilding is fun.
