A clear starting point for every home
Keep base plans, packages, design categories, and retail pricing organized. Identify the home’s starting specification before reviewing the buyer’s options.
Semi-custom homebuilders
A repeatable foundation.
Personal choices.
Your process starts with a proven plan, then branches into buyer options and upgrades. Teams need to see what changed from the base home and carry those choices into pricing and purchasing.
BUILT INTO THE WORK
From the buyer’s decision to the financial record.
Options with their own price and approval
Guide the buyer through choices in the design sheet. Review retail pricing and record the agreement; later changes follow the proposed-change and approval process.
The right purchase commitment for the chosen home
Carry approved selections into the unit record and purchasing review. Compare revised takeoff quantities and prices with the current budget before updating the work being committed.
See what personalization means for the margin
Review the budget, purchase orders, invoices, and actual costs alongside the buyer’s upgrades. Distinguish additional buyer revenue from the builder’s additional cost.
WORKING EXAMPLES

Follow a question from problem to decision.

01What changes when a buyer changes a selection?
The problem
Requested selection
A different kitchen finish affects the buyer’s price, the purchasing scope, and the home’s expected cost.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
- Home
- Lot 42
- Original cost allowance
- $8,000
- Revised selection cost
- $9,200
What you do in TK
Review before committing
Record the choice in the home’s design and pricing context. Review pricing and approval, then update the scope and purchasing records for the agreed work.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
- Buyer price
- Review separately from cost
- Approval
- Document the agreed change
- Purchasing
- Review revised scope
What you see
Follow the change
Follow the selection into purchasing, construction context, and job cost. The cost difference remains visible alongside the budget; a commitment is not a payment.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
- Cost difference
- +$1,200
- Field execution
- Use the agreed scope
- Job-cost review
- Compare with the budget
The decision it supports
Agree the handoff
Confirm the buyer’s agreement, coordinate the revised work, and review whether the change affects the home’s expected margin.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
- Sales / design
- Confirm the choice and price
- Purchasing / construction
- Coordinate the revised work
- Finance
- Review the margin effect
THE HANDOFF
Keep the decision with the home.
The base plan gives the team a starting point. Sales and design record the buyer’s approved choices; purchasing reviews what differs from that starting point. Construction uses the agreed scope, while finance reviews the revised cost and expected margin.
