Getting Started

Here is a brief overview of the home building process:

Building a custom home in the Corpus Christi and Padre Island area is an exciting journey, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Here’s a look at the process when you partner with Manhattan Builders:

1. Connect with Our Team

The first step in building your dream home is reaching out to the right builder. As a trusted builder in the Corpus Christi area, we’ll walk you through where we’re currently building, discuss what you’re looking for in your home, and answer any questions you may have.

Contact us today at 361-510-2325 or use our contact page to get started.

2. Secure Financing with a Lender

Before diving into design, it’s essential to know your budget. If you haven’t already been pre-approved, now’s the time to connect with a Mortgage Lending Officer. They’ll review your financial history and conduct a credit check to help you secure the best rate and loan amount for your needs. This pre-approval gives you a solid foundation to proceed confidently with the home-building process.

3. Find Your Perfect Lot

Location is everything, and our team can help you find the ideal site to bring your vision to life. If you already have a lot in mind, we’ll guide you on how to ensure it’s a good fit for your future home. Consider these factors as you make your choice:

• Lot Shape & Size: Make sure the lot works well with your preferred floor plan.
• Budget: Identify a budget for the lot and any potential site prep.
• Neighborhood and Location: Think about your commute, surrounding amenities, and community vibe.
• School Districts & Taxes: Research the area’s school quality and property tax rates to find the right fit for your family.

Our team is here to answer questions and help you secure a location that’s right for you.

4. Design Your Custom Home

With the lot chosen, it’s time to start designing! This is one of the most enjoyable parts of the process. Our designers will sit down with you to discuss your style, preferences, and needs, ensuring every detail reflects your vision and lifestyle. From the layout and flow of the floor plan to custom finishes and fixtures, we work closely with you to create a home that’s both beautiful and functional.

5. Begin the Construction Process

Once the designs are finalized and the contract is signed, we’re ready to build! Our project managers oversee each stage of construction, from preparing the lot to the final touches. We’ll keep you updated throughout the process, so you know exactly what to expect and can see your home take shape with confidence.

6. Final Walkthrough & Closing

As construction wraps up, we’ll take you on a thorough walkthrough of your new home. This is your chance to see the completed space, ask any final questions, and ensure that every detail meets our high standards and your expectations. After closing, we hand over the keys, and your dream home is officially yours!
