*Onsite building refers to building in a location where Overstreet Builders already owns the property. “Offsite” builds follow a similar process, but please talk to your Overstreet rep about the differences between the two.
**Completion is based on a “standard” size home. Homes which are much larger or have finished basement may take a little longer due to the amount of work that needs to be done.
