Call us today at 856-208-5118 or fill out the REQUEST MORE INFORMATION form above. We will schedule your first Build On Your Lot Free Consultation meeting with one of our New Home Specialists.  If you do not own the land yet, we recommend meeting with us before you buy your land so that we can best assist you.  We look forward to hearing from you today!

We will gladly build on your lot that is located in one of the following New Jersey Counties: Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester,  or Salem County.

There are many structural changes available to choose from depending on which floorplan you choose.  If you are looking for something unique or custom that is different from any of the plans you see on our website, please reach out to us.  We allow anyone to customize any of our plans.  We will set up a meeting with one of our New Home Specialists to review all of the customization choices.

We also have a state-of-the-art Design Center where you will work with our Design Coordinator, Ashley, who will assist you in selecting everything from the exterior siding colors and designs to the interior choices including floor coverings, cabinets, countertops, faucets, light fixtures and everything in-between.

We will be more than happy to review your architectural plans if you are looking to build a custom home! After reviewing your plans, we will decide if we believe we are the right fit to build your new custom home. Our ability to take on new custom projects also depends on the current volume of custom homes we have in progress. Reach out to us for more information!

There are two included feature packages to choose from: The Legacy Package or The Signature Package. The starting price for each floorplan comes included with the Legacy Features Package at no additional cost. In the Signature Package, our most popular luxury selections have been packaged together at a discounted additional price for your new home.  Contact us today for a price sheet and package comparison!

In the base prices of our “Build On Your Lot” homes, the exlcuded items are as follows: appliances, sitework/land improvement costs (engineering fees, utilities, permits, town/county fees, inspections, unique code requirements, driveway, landscaping, land clearing – anything outside of the footprint of your home).

We recommend budgeting for an estimated “sitework allowance” of between $60-80k, depending on your homesite. Every homesite is different due to many factors. During a contingency period, we will perform a homesite inspection. At the end of this homesite inspection, we will give you a final estimate for land improvements based on many tests/surveys we’ve completed for your homesite. We utilize a homesite inspection addendum, which is a line-by-line itemized list of everything that needs to be installed/completed on your homesite in the building process – this is how we determine your final land improvement costs (sitework allowance).

We will review this list in much detail at our Virtual “Build On Your Lot” Information Sessions. Fill out the contact form today to reserve your spot at one of our upcoming virtual sessions to learn more!

Schaeffer Family Homes provides a Homesite Inspection for all of our customers.  We do this during a due diligence contingency period.  To get started, we ask that you put down a fully refundable $7,500 deposit.  During this contingency period, we will go out to your homesite to perform a homesite inspection, identifying which of the excluded items will be necessary to address in order to build your new home. We will also talk to the local municipalities and zoning offices to find out what permits and tests they require to build.  A soil test, seasonal high water table test and a topography grading plot plan are also recommended to be performed at this time.

If you do not own a homesite yet, no problem! We have relationships with many land owners and can provide you with a list of available homesites today. If none of these homesites fit your needs, we can help you by providing you with names of several real estate professionals that specialize in land acquisition.

Here at Schaeffer Family Homes we recognize that choosing a builder for your new home is a big decision. Upon request, we will provide you with a cost estimate for the luxury features that you wish to have in your new home. As soon as you put down the initial $7,500 contingency deposit, we will schedule your 1^st Design Center Appointment.  This is a 3 hour long meeting at which time we will work you to finalize all of your new home selections and price.  Our goal is to work within your budget and build the home of your dreams!
