At San Rufo Homes, written specifications are formalized in Schedule A. Schedule A exists to remove ambiguity. It ensures that drawings, selections, and pricing are fully aligned so your home can be built efficiently, accurately, and to the standard expected of San Rufo Homes.
Schedule A works alongside your architectural and working drawings to define the construction scope, materials, finishes, and performance standards for your home. It is the document that converts design intent into clear, executable direction and forms a core part of your construction agreement.
Each project begins with a base budget that establishes a well-defined level of finish and construction standard. From there, Schedule A allows for controlled flexibility to upgrade selections where desired. This approach enables us to confirm specifications, pricing, and lead times early, while still giving you the ability to refine key finishes.
Where allowances are used, Schedule A clearly identifies what is included and the value allocated to each item. If final selections differ from the base allowance, any cost difference is documented and confirmed before construction proceeds. This ensures pricing remains transparent and decisions are made deliberately, not reactively.
Any changes to the agreed specifications are captured through updated schedules or formal change documentation in advance. This protects the build timeline, supports quality control, and ensures we can execute the project as planned.
Your space, your style, yours truly.
Every home we build starts with understanding how you want to live. Your needs, preferences, and personal aesthetic guide the design from the very beginning.
At San Rufo Homes, we act as a disciplined design-build partner. We work with a carefully selected group of architects and designers whose approach aligns with our construction standards and methods, allowing your style to be expressed while ensuring the design remains practical, detailed, and buildable.
As plans evolve, we stay actively involved to guide decisions around layout, materials, and construction approach. This early coordination allows us to confirm specifications, pricing, and feasibility, giving you flexibility where it matters while maintaining clarity around cost and execution.
When appropriate, trusted trade partners are engaged during the design phase to review details and sequencing. This helps reduce risk, avoid rework, and ensure the home can be delivered as intended.
Your home should reflect your space and your style. Our responsibility is to deliver it with precision, coordination, and craftsmanship. That is what yours truly means at San Rufo Homes.
Our model plans are designed with real families and real lives in mind.
Each plan in the San Rufo Homes collection has been carefully developed to balance comfort, functionality, and long-term value. These homes are based on layouts we know work well for everyday living, refined through experience to ensure they are practical, efficient, and enjoyable to live in.
Rather than starting from scratch, our model plans provide a strong, proven foundation. They allow us to offer clarity around budget, specifications, and construction while still giving you the ability to personalize your home to reflect your style and the way your family lives.
Every model plan is reviewed by both our design and construction teams to ensure it can be built efficiently and to a consistent standard. This allows us to provide firm pricing, confirm specifications early, and deliver a home that meets expectations without unnecessary complexity.
These are not one-size-fits-all houses. They are well-considered homes that can be adapted to your needs, your preferences, and your future.
Your working drawings are the technical foundation of your home.
They include detailed, scaled drawings that define your home’s layout, structure, rooflines, and exterior elevations. These drawings show how the home will be built, where materials are used, and how all components come together.
Beyond design, working drawings serve several critical purposes. They are required for municipal permit approval, guide material ordering, and provide clear direction to trades throughout construction. Simply put, they are the instructions that allow your home to be built accurately and efficiently.
Together with the plot plan and Schedule A specifications, your working drawings form a key part of your construction agreement. These documents must align fully, which is why we review them with you in detail before construction begins. Our role is to ensure what is drawn, specified, and priced reflects exactly what will be built.
A plot plan shows how your home sits on your specific lot.
It identifies the orientation of the house and its distance from property lines, as well as any easements, setbacks, or municipal requirements that apply. This ensures your home complies with local bylaws before construction begins.
If a variance is required, it must be addressed in advance, as it can affect both timeline and cost. As part of our process, we obtain and review the necessary property information to confirm everything is in order before major construction milestones or mortgage advances occur.
This step protects you from avoidable delays and ensures the home can be built exactly as planned.
Your purchase agreement formalizes the relationship between you and San Rufo Homes.
It outlines responsibilities, timelines, pricing structure, and the documents that define your home, including the working drawings, plot plan, and Schedule A specifications. Together, these form a complete picture of what is being built and under what terms.
We take the time to review the agreement with you and answer questions before anything is signed. Our goal is not just to finalize a contract, but to ensure expectations are clear and shared from the start.
Clarity at this stage supports smoother construction and fewer surprises later.
Legal professionals play an important role in completing your home purchase.
Their responsibilities typically include preparing or reviewing the purchase agreement, registering mortgages, handling the transfer of title, and managing possession and closing. In most cases, contracts follow standard formats that include required warranty provisions and clearly defined terms.
On closing day, your legal representative ensures ownership is transferred properly and all documentation is completed as required. While legal steps are a necessary part of the process, our role is to ensure that by the time you reach this stage, the scope, specifications, and expectations for your home are already clear and well-documented.
