Building Process
How do I get started with Lamb Homes?
The first step is scheduling a consultation. We’ll discuss your goals, budget, timeline, desired location, and whether you’re interested in a custom home, a move-in-ready home, or a remodel.
Do I need plans before contacting you?
No. We can assist with everything from lot selection and design to plan development and construction.
Can you build on my lot?
Yes. We can build on your existing lot or help you find a lot that fits your needs.
What areas do you build in?
We primarily serve the Tulsa metro area, including Jenks, Bixby, Broken Arrow, Owasso, Coweta, Sapulpa, and surrounding communities.
Do you help with lot selection?
Yes. We can evaluate lots for buildability, utility access, drainage, site costs, and overall suitability for your project.
Pricing & Financing
How much does it cost to build a custom home?
The cost depends on location, size, design complexity, and finish selections. We provide detailed pricing based on your specific project rather than relying on a generic price-per-square-foot estimate.
What is your price per square foot?
Because every home is different, price per square foot can be misleading. Factors such as lot conditions, ceiling heights, exterior materials, and finish selections all affect pricing.
Do you have preferred lenders?
Yes. We work with several trusted local lenders who specialize in construction loans, custom home financing, and conventional mortgage products. We are happy to connect you with lenders who can help determine the best financing option for your project.
Can you provide a detailed estimate before construction starts?
Yes. We provide detailed budgets and specifications before construction begins so you understand what is included.
Customization
Can I customize my floor plan?
Absolutely. Whether modifying an existing plan or creating a fully custom design, we work closely with you to create a home that fits your lifestyle.
Can I make changes during construction?
Yes, although changes made after construction begins may affect pricing and schedule. We communicate all impacts before proceeding.
Can I select my own finishes and fixtures?
Yes. You’ll have the opportunity to select flooring, countertops, paint colors, lighting, plumbing fixtures, and many other design elements.
Do you have designers who help with selections?
Yes. We guide homeowners through the selection process to help create a cohesive design while staying within budget.
Timeline
How long does it take to build a home?
Most homes take approximately 8 to 12 months to complete, depending on size, complexity, weather conditions, permitting, and material availability.
What factors can affect the construction timeline?
Weather, permitting, utility installation, material lead times, change orders, and inspection schedules can all affect construction timelines.
Will I receive progress updates?
Yes. We maintain regular communication throughout construction and keep you informed of milestones, schedules, and any important decisions.
Quality & Warranty
Do you provide a warranty?
Yes. Every home we build includes a warranty. We utilize the Oklahoma Home Builders Association (OHBA) warranty program, which provides homeowners with added peace of mind and clearly outlines warranty coverage and procedures. Specific warranty details and coverage periods will be provided before closing.
What does the warranty cover?
Warranty coverage generally includes workmanship, materials, and certain structural components, subject to the terms of the warranty agreement.
Do you perform inspections during construction?
Yes. Homes are inspected throughout construction to ensure compliance with local building codes and our quality standards.
Can I hire my own home inspector?
Absolutely. We encourage buyers to hire an independent third-party home inspector near the completion of construction. An additional inspection provides peace of mind and often helps identify minor items that can be addressed during the punch list process before closing. Our goal is to deliver the highest-quality home possible, and we welcome the extra set of eyes.
Remodels & Additions
Do you offer remodeling services?
Yes. We provide remodeling, additions, outdoor living spaces, kitchen renovations, bathroom renovations, and whole-home remodels.
Can you help with design for a remodel?
Yes. We work with homeowners and designers to develop plans, budgets, and finish selections before construction begins.
Can I live in my home during a remodel?
That depends on the scope of work. We will discuss expectations and logistics before the project starts.
