Revised and User Friendly!
We have noticed the Housing Design Guide review process initiated in 2015 has, at times, impacted the timeline of the home building process within Rocking Horse Farm. To speed up the process, we have come up with a solution that will reduce the initial response time from the original 7 days to 2 days … or about a 70% response time reduction.
The response we’ve received from current homeowners about the design guideline has been very positive. Not only has it been embraced, but they’ve informed us they very much appreciate the complimentary design guidance offered by RHF via Chris Hawley Architects. Overall, they feel it adds significant value to their home and neighborhood.
Note: The time response for step 3 is dependent on the builder but for the purpose of this example we used 1 day.
Step 1: Initial Design Submission
Step 2: design Suggestions returned to builder
Step 3: Builder Resubmission
Step 4: Design Approval
Homeowner Survey Results
The following are responses from a homeowner survey conducted last spring.
“We like the aspect of oversight during the design process. We wanted a community that shared the same attention to aesthetic that we wanted in our home.”
-Rocking Horse Farm Homeowner
“I was very pleased to hear the design process had already been established and approved. It made me that much more confident that I was in the right neighborhood for us.”
-Rocking Horse Farm Homeowner
“Yes, we were pleasantly surprised with the changes. They added a somewhat contemporary design to what was a pretty traditional exterior.”
