New Construction in Mint Hill
"New construction" covers several very different situations. Knowing which one you are looking at changes the questions you ask.
Stages and Types
- Move-in-ready — complete, with a certificate of occupancy.
- Under construction — permitted and underway.
- To-be-built — a plan on a builder-controlled homesite.
- Proposed community — not yet approved or built.
- Custom lot — you choose the builder and plan, subject to rules.
Questions for a Builder
- What is included versus an allowance or upgrade?
- What warranty applies, and who services it?
- Is the site's drainage and grading final?
- Can I bring my own inspector at key stages?
