Meet

Building a home can be stressful and extremely time consuming. If you don’t have the right building partner, you may look back on the process with regret. That will not happen with Discovery House Homes. Let’s meet in person so we can share with you why our process is unique and how we guide you through each step in a simple, fun and efficient manner. This will also give us an opportunity to learn more about your mountain living dreams. Many builders avoid talking about price and refuse to answer financial related questions but that is not the case with Discovery House. Bring any and all questions so we can have an open and transparent conversation. You will leave with a better understanding of the building process and answers to all of your questions so regardless of who you end up working with, your time with our team will create value for your home building journey.

Personalize

Start your Discovery House Homes journey by choosing from our portfolio of model homes, all professionally and specifically designed for mountain living. If you don’t find what you are looking for, we will create your own semi-custom floor plan with our in-house design team. Regardless of which pathway you choose, we will guide you through the personalization options. From floor plan development, exterior and interior design, and all interior finishes, we make the process simple and fun. After designing your Discovery House Home, you can start the personalization process with one of our interior design bundles which were professionally designed and created specifically for the Discovery House mountain home portfolio. All interior selections can be personalized to meet your specific desired outcome. The end result is a tailored mountain home that is unique to you and your family.

Final Price

Price transparency starts the first time we meet. Although you will know the cost of your Discovery House Home in advance, the final pricing is prepared at the conclusion of the personalization process. Before being presented with a construction contract, you will receive a detailed and transparent outline of all costs associated with your move-in ready home.

Construction Contract

No games, no surprises and no “gotcha” moments. At Discovery House Homes, we use a guaranteed cost contract with allowances which removes your financial risk and protects you against market price fluctuations. Once the contract is approved, we obtain all necessary permits and start construction within 7-14 days of receipt. It is now time to build your Discovery House Home!

Build

At Discovery House Homes, we do not cut corners or hide anything behind the walls. The quality of materials and the craftsmanship that goes into our homes are typically upgrades with other builders but come standard with your Discovery House Home. Trust, experience, long-term trade partner relationships, and transparency matter when building a home in the mountains and this is exactly what we deliver. Your home is built according to Discovery House Homes' rigorous internal quality standards which meet or exceed the standards established by the County and industry guidelines.

Celebrate!

When you build a Discovery House Home, you build a relationship, one that doesn't end once you receive the keys. High quality… On time... On budget... Your tailored and personalized Discovery House Home is ready for move‐in and it is time to celebrate and experience mountain life! With the keys to your new home comes peace of mind and we will be honored to welcome you, as neighbors, to our beloved mountains.
