What
changes can I make
to my floor plan?
You simply tell us
what you want to
change, and we’ll
make it happen. We
have a full time
design department,
so whether it be
changing the
interior of your
home by moving walls
or adding square
footage, or
redesigning the
exterior, we can
customize according
to your wants and
needs.
Does
CHIN ARCHITECT offer
any financing
programs?
Leveraging our
strategic financial
partnerships, we are
able to offer a
variety of mortgage
options to suit your
individual needs
including: low to no
down payment
options,
conventional
financing with as
little as 5% down,
no PMI options, FHA,
VA and Rural Housing
(USDA) programs.
Can
I build a new home
when I have an
existing home to
sell?
Yes! We have several
popular programs,
which may grant you
access to a portion,
or even all, of the
equity in your
current home. This
equity can serve as
your down payment
and possibly reduce,
or even eliminate,
your existing home
payment. Another key
benefit is moving
directly from your
current home into
your new CHIN
ARCHITECT without
having to move
twice, rent, or pay
unnecessary storage
costs.
Can
I finance land in my
construction loan?
You can finance your
land, along with
your new home, into
one construction
loan. This will save
on two separate
closings, which will
save you money on
your overall closing
costs. This also
applies if you
already own your
land and have a
balance remaining to
the original lender
as well. The balance
of your land
purchase will be
consolidated into
your loan and will
eliminate a separate
payment.

What
is included in the
price of the home?
We pride ourselves
in having the most
complete standard
features in the
industry. In
surveying our
homeowners, the
number one reason
they selected CHIN
ARCHITECT was Price
and Value. No other
builder could offer
this level of
craftsmanship, and
still offer this
much square footage
for the price.

How
am I kept informed
during the
construction
process?
We believe
communication is the
key to any strong
relationship. Your
personal builder
will keep you
informed of the
progress of your
home and if you have
any questions about
your construction,
you will have your
personal builder's
cell phone number to
contact him
directly.
Where
does CHIN ARCHITECT
build?
We are an on your
lot custom home
builder, we build
where you want to
be, whether it’s in
a subdivision or in
a rural setting.
Typically, we build
within 40 – 50 miles
from our Design
Center. Some of our
Design Centers build
much further than
the 50 mile radius,
so please call for
details.
How
can I find land to
build on?
We will be happy to
assist you in
finding your land.
CHIN ARCHITECT has
strong partnerships
with Realtors who
specialize in
finding land in your
area.
How
do I know if my lot
is buildable?
CHIN ARCHITECT will
schedule a time for
your personal
builder to inspect
your lot. He will
review things like
locating your home
on the lot, your
setbacks and
locating your
utilities.
Have
land?
Great! The first
step is to evaluate
your site. As a
custom builder who
has built more than
6000 homes, we know
each lot has unique
characteristics. We
build your home on
your land - the way
you want it. With
hundreds of home
plans to choose from
and each one
customisable to fit
your needs, we will
work with you to
make sure your home
fits perfectly.
Don't
have land?
That's no problem.
About half of our
home owners didn't
have land before
they came to us. We
have valuable
relationships with
the real estate
community in each of
our building areas
who will be happy to
help you find the
perfect lot for your
home.
Financing?
Most of our home
owners choose a
one-time closing
since you only have
one set of closing
costs. This combines
the cost of your
land and the cost of
your new custom
home. Or, if you own
your land, you can
use the equity
towards the down
payment. Keep in
mind, you do not
have to pay off the
lot first - the lot
and home can be
combined into one
mortgage.
