ABOUT US
Welcome to
John
D. Bowen Construction’s
website.
We pride ourselves in offering what we feel is the best overall package for custom homes in central Texas. Our goal is to construct the highest quality home at a great price. Another goal we strive for is a high level of customer satisfaction during construction and continues after final closing. To achieve these goals, we have designed the following process to guide you through the home building process.
Initial Meeting
We use this meeting to discover the customer’s needs and provide guidance on the steps to take to meet their needs and get the process started.
Financing
If you need help securing financing, we have a person on staff to guide you through the process. You may have already qualified for a loan in this case we work closely with your lender throughout construction.
Site Selection
It is important to focus on the size and style of your future home but the location is just as important. You will notice on this website we have a few subdivisions we are promoting.
They are Ogletree Gap Phase III in Copperas Cove, Lampasas River Place in Kempner, Fawn Acres in Lampasas, River Ridge Ranch in Killeen, Spring Meadows in Belton, Regatta Oaks in Belton and Comanche Gap Estates in Harker Heights.
Home Design
We love to help our customer’s with their home design. We have many floor plans to choose from, but rarely a customer finds that perfect plan. We work closely with a home designer to help you create your perfect plan. You may like different aspects of separate plans and wish to combine them in to one plan with a new elevation or you may want draw a plan from scratch.
Pricing and Estimating
Once we have a floor plan, we start the process of determining the price of your home. We have an estimator on staff whose job is to develop a price for your home. You will give us information throughout the drawing of floor plans and pricing to develop the specifications for you home. We compile this information plus bids from our subcontractors to create a proposal.
The Proposal
The proposal states all the specifications to build the home and the price. We review the proposal with the customer to make sure the specifications meet your satisfaction. This document is important in our process because we make it an attachment to the contract and it is used as a construction document.
Color Selections
After the contract is written, you start the color selection process. We have a person on staff to guide you through the process of selecting your brick or rock, shingles, paint, etc., and setting appointments with the different suppliers.
Construction Period
During the construction of your home, John Bowen and our field supervisor are continually inspecting your home throughout the building process. Furthermore, a representative from 2-10 Home Warranty will inspect your home at different stages of construction. The 2-10 Home Warranty is the structural warranty we provide with each home.
Warranty Service
All homes come with a one year builder's warranty. Plus, John D. Bowen Construction provides a 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty. The "2" represents a 2 year systems warranty by the builder. The "10" represents a 10 year structural warranty on the home. Please contact John D. Bowen Construction for more details.
Final Close
When your home is complete we work with your lender to set up closing and confirm all the proper documents have been provided to the title company.
