New construction deserves its own path
New construction is not just another variant of a generic buying page. It changes how a visitor thinks about risk, negotiation, finish quality, and timing. The site architecture should make that visible.
Why this belongs in Phase 1 completeness
Adding this path proves the shared factory can support one more high-intent journey without introducing custom code forks or client-side complexity.
Follow the new-construction journey in order
- Start here to separate resale assumptions from builder-process assumptions.
- Use the builder-timelines-and-change-orders guide to clarify timeline, allowance, and change-order risk.
- Compare representative communities only after you understand whether a newer-home path is still the right fit.
