Your Step by Step Process to Building in Vintage Place

Apr 8, 2019

Vintage Place is a Bardwell Community inspired by historic neighborhoods and classic American cottages of the 1920s. Located in a growing part of South Baton Rouge, Vintage Place has desirable access to shopping, dining, interstates, and other notable landmarks.

The neighborhood is enviable, to be sure. So how do you land yourself a home in Vintage Place?

Bardwell Homes has a process created to build a home that’s right for you!

The Bardwell Process

Step 1: Discover Vintage Place

If you’re interested in learning more about Vintage Place, set up a meeting with our realtor Heather. Together you can discuss the community, view available lots, and see floor plans to choose from.

Here’s a sneak peek of Vintage Place’s currently available lots:

Once you’ve found a lot you love, you’ll sign your contract and put down your deposit to secure your spot in one of Baton Rouge’s most coveted neighborhoods!

Step 2: Choose From Our 5 Available Home Plans

Match your lot to the home and floor plan that fits all of your needs! We’ve got 5 Bardwell-designed home plans you can choose from.

Each of these plans also have slight variations available based on your preference. Our realtor will also talk through these options with you.

Plan: Bienville

Plan: Loyola

Plan: Octavia

Step 3: Customize your Home

Now that you’ve secured your lot and selected your plan it’s time to build the home that’s right for YOU. Choose from elements such as color scheme, tile selection, light fixtures, and more to create a home you love. As the owner, you choose fixtures and design elements (paint color, counters, floors) that match your style and eye. It should truly be your home at the end of this process.

Step 4: Home Construction

Bardwell handles the building process for you! Don’t stress over contractor management or piece-mailed teams. From foundation to finishes our team gets the job done and communicates with you every step of the way.

Step 5: Walk-Thru’s

You’ll have two standard walk thru’s in the building process. At the Homeowner Orientation Walk, we work together to prepare a punch list of items to be handled before the closing. At the final walk, we review the completed punch list and any additional details to make sure you are nothing less than thrilled with your custom home!

Step 6: Closing

Time to make it officially YOUR home! After construction is complete, we’ll walk through the closing process and you’ll be off to start life in your new Bardwell home!
