Utah/Lehi/New construction

Lehi, Utah

Walk your Lehi new build first.

Most Lehi homes are new construction, bought off a plan set with options chosen from a brochure. Walk yours at full scale before framing, at the Orem studio about 10 to 15 minutes south.

New construction, off a plan set.

Lehi's growth is overwhelmingly new construction, master-planned communities and semi-custom homes where buyers choose options before the home exists. That is where expensive misunderstandings start. Walking the plan and its options at full scale catches them before framing.

Your nearest studio is Orem.

There is no studio in Lehi, and you do not need one. The Orem studio is about 10 to 15 minutes south, central to Utah County. Walk your Lehi plan there.

  • About 10 to 15 minutes from Lehi

What new-build buyers catch.

The option decisions that come back as change orders all start as abstractions on a builder's plan set.

  • 01 The bonus room that looked bigger in the brochure.
  • 02 Optional bumpouts and elevations that read differently at full scale.
  • 03 How the open-concept great room actually flows day to day.
  • 04 Whether your furniture fits the rooms as drawn.
  • 05 Ceiling heights and sightlines the sales center could not convey.

What a walk saves a Lehi new build.

80%

fewer change orders, on average.

Up to 40%

construction cost saved through value engineering.

Why the numbers move

A problem caught on the studio floor is a line on a PDF. The same problem caught on site is a change order.

Sessions run before the plans are stamped, while a fix is still a drawing revision.

Lehi new-construction questions.

Is there a studio in Lehi?

Not yet. The Orem studio serves Lehi and is about 10 to 15 minutes south.

My builder gives me a plan set. Can I walk that?

Yes. Bring the plan in any format and we set it up to project at true 1:1 scale.

Can I walk options before I pick them?

Yes. Seeing optional walls, bumpouts, and upgrades at true size is the whole point.

Will it delay my build?

No. It happens before framing, and catching a problem early avoids the changes that actually cause delays.

What should I bring?

Your plan and option sheet, and whoever will live there.
