Buying a Thrive Home is Different
Getting Started
Start your home-buying journey by connecting with a Client Experience Manager to explore communities, floorplans, and available homes. Once you’re ready, secure your home by signing a purchase agreement and submitting a deposit. If financing, we can connect you with a preferred lender for pre-approval and incentives. Your Client Experience Manager will guide you through every step, keeping the process transparent and ensuring you feel confident as your new home takes shape.

Our Building Process
Securing a building permit is the first crucial step in our construction process. This ensures that your home complies with local building codes and regulations, providing a safe and legal foundation for your new home.
Excavation marks the beginning of physical construction. Our team carefully clears and prepares the site, digging out the area for your home's foundation.
We're ready to start building your home! A concrete foundation is poured, which is then reinforced with steel rods prior to drying. Once it hardens, the foundation is sprayed with a waterproofing substance.
There’s quite a lot involved in this step: Floor joists are installed as well as the subfloor. Windows and doors are also installed. House wrap is put over the exterior to prevent water and moisture from getting into the home.
The interior of your home is completely protected from rain and moisture. Now the major systems, including plumbing, electrical, and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), will be installed.
Energy efficiency is important to reduce your energy usage and costs, so the home must be properly insulated from the roof all the way down to the foundation.
Using specialty screws, brackets, and joint compound, drywall is hung to create the rooms in your home. During this process, we also cut out holes for lighting fixtures and electrical outlets.
In this stage, we focus on the finer details that add character to your home. We install baseboards, door casings, and other trim work, followed by painting the interior.
The installation of flooring and wall finishes brings warmth and style to your living spaces. Whether you choose hardwood, tile, or carpet, our team ensures each surface is expertly laid.
The interior will be completed in this stage, and you’ll love seeing the final essential touches being installed. This includes everything from flooring to countertops to cabinets, doors, light fixtures and more.
For the exterior, we'll make sure your driveway has been paved and any landscaping and exterior finishes you purchased will be added to your yard!
Our quality assurance phase is all about ensuring every aspect of your home meets our high standards. We conduct thorough inspections and tests on all systems and structures, addressing any issues before the closing.
The final inspections are the last step before you move in. Local building officials perform comprehensive checks to verify that everything is up to code.
