Tell us about your goals, budget, timeline, and property. We will explain how our process works and determine whether your project is a good fit.
What to expect: A straightforward 20 to 30 minute conversation with no pressure.
During your $200 Site Visit, a project manager walks your property and discusses home placement, access, and potential site challenges.
We will review:
• Home placement and setbacks
• Well and septic conditions
• Driveway access and drainage
• Clearing, slopes, and lake considerations
This gives you a clearer picture before moving forward.
Choose the Heritage, Pinnacle, Summit, or Legacy floor plan. Then personalize your home with available finishes and upgrades.
Because the plans and options are already established, decisions stay manageable while pricing and construction stay on track.
Your contract includes a set price, not an estimate. Once it is signed, our team handles permitting and helps keep the project moving through the local approval process.
We typically break ground within 60 days of signing. Your project manager oversees every major stage, from foundation and framing to interior finishes and final inspections.
Key takeaway: Our crews build these plans regularly, creating a consistent and efficient process.
Your home is typically completed in about eight months. We will walk you through the finished home, address the final details, and prepare you for move-in.
Afterward, your builder warranty provides continued support from the team that knows your home.
WHY NBS HOMES
We build the same four homes again and again, with pricing negotiated with our trades in advance. Our crews already know the details, common challenges, and work sequence for each home. That is how we help keep the schedule on track and keep a finished home's pricing more predictable than a traditional custom build.
It is efficient, but not rushed. It is simply a process that already works, refined over many homes.
More predictable pricing than a traditional custom build
Four proven plans, negotiated trade pricing, and crews who already know exactly what comes next.
EXTENSIVE RURAL + LAKE LOT EXPERIENCE
Many of our builds sit on land that isn't a finished subdivision lot: wooded acreage, family land, and sloped lake parcels. Most run on a private well and septic system, which means a soil or perc test to confirm the ground will support septic.
None of this is a problem. It is the everyday reality of building on beautiful Central Virginia land, including Lynchburg and Smith Mountain Lake.
INCLUDED + PERSONALIZED
Start with a standard package designed to feel complete, then personalize select finishes and choose from available upgrades. Keeping the options focused gives you room to make the home feel like yours without having to make every small decision yourself.

STILL LOOKING?
Many of our buyers come to us before they buy a lot, and that is a smart time to talk. Bring us the listing before you make the offer. We can help you review road access, water, septic, power, and the practical details that make a parcel buildable.
CONSTRUCTION FINANCING
Building on your land often uses a construction-to-permanent loan. If you already own the property, it can frequently count toward your equity. We work with preferred lenders who handle these loans often, and you are always welcome to use your own. Read our plain-English financing guide.
