Stage 1 - Final Drawings Submitted for Permit

Permit is usually received four to six weeks after submission.

At Losani Homes, it is our goal to build your home for you in a timely fashion. Although we endeavor to keep on a regimented timeline, on occasion, construction takes longer than projected. This could be for several reasons including inclement weather, vendor workloads, backlogs, materials, or unique requests for your home.
