Did you want that for some reason?

We are just listing our house, want to build but first
want to see what the market will be like.

I thought once you bought a lot you had the design
meeting within a month.

Design appointments were backed up this summer. We put a deposit on a lot July 4th weekend and first available design appt was mid November. Closed on home on 2/11.

They have to rip it out and do it according to your contract, but I am guessing that they don't make too many mistakes.

patfla06,

That was the first design appointment available at the time. I know they have switched to building more spec homes now so the wait may be shorter than before. Your sales agent will have current information.
