Most of the families Heritage works with already own the lot when they call us. The home gets designed around the land, not the other way around.
The first conversation happens on your lot or at our office. We walk through what you’re picturing, what the land allows, what your timeline looks like, and what we’d recommend for design.
The design session locks scope, design intent, and the budget framework. From there the home moves through the design process over several months. Heritage handles the architect, the structural engineer, the permits, the bids, and the contract. By the time the dirt moves, every decision that needed to be made before construction is already on paper.
Bluff country, river access, the kind of quiet that’s getting rare. Ten minutes east of Woodbury.
Established neighborhoods, top-rated South Washington County schools, room to settle in for the long run.
A mix of standard lots and larger acreage parcels, with lakefront available.
The St. Croix, the historic downtown, the river-bluff sites.
A site walk and preliminary design review tells us. Heritage looks at setbacks, slopes, soils, utilities, well and septic if applicable, and design constraints. Most lots that look buildable are; a few aren’t, and we’d rather know that before you invest in design.
Lot value isn’t fixed at purchase price. The land usually appreciates while you’ve owned it. Heritage works with the land you own at today’s value, not yesterday’s.
No. Heritage works with several of the top architects in the East Metro and recommends the right one for your project. You choose; we coordinate.
About twelve to fourteen months total. Construction itself runs nine to twelve months depending on scope. Lot complexity, design complexity, and selection pace affect the total.
The equipment came in Tuesday morning. The footprint of the home is taking shape in the slope.
