The Sand Creek Post & Beam Build Process

Sand Creek recommends placing an order 6 months before your desired construction start date.

This will give you time to customize your structure, revise your plans and make sure that it’s exactly what you want.

The time it takes to complete an order will depend on the complexity of the project.

Here’s how the process works:

Step 1 – Order Your Kit

The first step is to place your order. A 20% deposit is required. Once all of the paperwork is complete, you will be assigned a Project Manager. It may take up to 1 year for delivery.

Step 2 – Design Your Structure

Next, it’s time to design your home or barn. Sand Creek’s design team will begin drawing the initial set of plans, which will be ready for review in 2 weeks.

During this phase, you will work with your project manager to make revisions to your plans. Each revision may take up to two weeks. Depending on the number of changes you want, the design phase can last anywhere from a few weeks to several months.

Step 3 – Approve Plans

A finalized set of construction drawings will be completed and approved. Foundation plans and a construction guide will be sent.

A 50% progress payment will be required, and a delivery date will be set.

Step 4 – Manufacturing and Shipping

Next, the material for your structure will be ordered, and your kit will be placed in line for production.

About 2 weeks before shipment, a Logistics Manager will contact you to arrange the delivery.

The final payment will be due prior to shipping.
