The IMC 4-Step Homebuilding Process
From your first Site Visit through construction and keys, our process is designed to give you clear next steps, realistic pricing, and consistent communication throughout your build.
The IMC Process Overview
You choose your home and request a Site Visit so we can review the home, property, budget, and project together.
IMC prepares your turnkey Preliminary Price, then works with you to personalize the home and finalize the scope.
After contract signing and funding close, your project moves through permitting, factory production, site preparation, set, finish, inspections, and keys-in-hand.
WHAT HAPPENS FIRST
- Your Site Visit is where we confirm how your selected home fits your land and project goals.
- From there, IMC develops a Preliminary Price and clear next steps toward personalization, contract, funding, and construction.
- Our goal is to keep the process simple, transparent, and moving forward from one milestone to the next.
How The 4-Step IMC Process Works
Step 1
Site Visit & Preliminary Price
You’ve chosen your home. Now let’s put it on your land.
Meet your IMC Homebuilding Consultant at your homesite—in person when possible, virtually when needed.
We’ll review your selected home, property and project and prepare your turnkey Preliminary Price.
Once you accept the Preliminary Price, provide your $5,000 Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) and, if financing, a Pre-Authorization Letter (PAL) from your lender, you’re ready for Step 2.
Step 2
Personalize Your Home
Make the home yours.
Choose the options and personalizations that matter to you.
IMC incorporates your approved selections into the final scope and pricing and prepares your construction agreement.
Step 3
Sign Contract & Close Funding
Turn your plans into a project.
Finalize and sign your construction agreement and close on funding.
Your home then moves into permitting, factory coordination and construction.
Step 4
Watch Your Home Come to Life
We build. You stay connected.
IMC keeps you apprised weekly as your home moves through permitting, factory production, site preparation, set, finish and inspections.
We’ll coordinate visits to your homesite whenever you desire, subject to safety and construction conditions at the time.
Our goal: Keys in hand approximately six months from the close of funding.

A Final Word from the Founder
Building a home is personal. It deserves a process that is clear, structured, honest, and built around trust.
That is the way we build. If that is the kind of experience you are looking for, we would be honored to build your home.
