Building Journey

The building journey explains the new construction process step by step. It shows homeowners what happens after purchase, which milestones come next, and how Fischer Homes supports them from design selections to final walkthrough.

Design Your Home

Bring your vision to life at the Fischer Homes Design Studio, where you will review your blueprints and choose finishes, fixtures, and design details for your new home.

Pre-Construction

Meet your Fischer Homes Field Manager before construction begins to review the homebuilding process, ask questions, and understand early progress on the homesite, such as groundbreaking and foundation work.

Pre-Drywall

Before drywall is installed, walk through your new home to see framing, electrical, and plumbing, and better understand how your home is coming together.

New Home Orientation

The finishing touches are going in, and as your home nears completion, meet with your Field Manager to learn about your home’s features, systems, finishes, and how everything works before move-in.

Final Walkthrough

Just before closing, complete your final walkthrough to review your finished home, confirm key details, and make sure everything is ready for closing and move-in day.

Frequently Asked Questions about The New Home Building Process

The Fischer Homes building process typically takes several months from your design selections appointment to closing day. Timelines vary depending on your floorplan, community, and construction phase. Your Field Manager will keep you informed at every milestone and provide regular updates throughout the process. 


 

Your journey begins with a design selections appointment where you will work one-on-one with a professional Design Consultant to personalize your home. Before construction begins, you will also meet your Field Manager and Sales Counselor to review timelines and set expectations for the months ahead. 

We recommend connecting with Victory Mortgage early in the process — ideally before or during your initial home search. Getting pre-qualified gives you a clear picture of your budget and puts you in a stronger position when it is time to sign your purchase agreement. Victory Mortgage specializes in new construction financing and will guide you through every step.

Warranty and Support

Every Fischer Home is backed by a comprehensive warranty program designed to give you peace of mind long after you move in: 


  • 1-Year Limited Warranty — covers materials and workmanship. 
  • Multi-Year Structural Warranty — coverage for major structural components of your home.


Our dedicated Customer Care team is here to make sure your experience remains worry-free well beyond closing day. 

While our warranty covers materials, workmanship, mechanical systems, and structural components, there are some items that typically fall outside warranty coverage. These may include: 


  • Normal wear and tear or cosmetic changes over time 
  • Homeowner-caused damage or improper maintenance 
  • Landscaping, grading settlement, or exterior drainage after the initial warranty period 
  • Appliances or products covered by their own manufacturer warranties 


Your Customer Care team can clarify any specific questions about what's included in your coverage. 

Submitting a warranty request is quick and convenient through our Homeowner Portal: 


  1. Log in to the Homeowner Portal. 
  2. Select the type of request you'd like to submit. 
  3. Upload photos or notes if needed. 
  4. Track progress and communicate directly with our Customer Care team. 


For urgent issues — such as a plumbing leak or electrical concern — you can also reach our warranty team by phone at (859) 344-5975. 

Response times depend on the nature of the request. Urgent issues like plumbing leaks, electrical problems, or HVAC failures are prioritized and addressed as quickly as possible. Routine requests submitted through the Homeowner Portal are reviewed by our Customer Care team and scheduled based on the scope of work. You'll be able to track the status of your request directly in the portal. 

Yes. Fischer Homes conducts warranty walkthroughs to review your home and address any items that may need attention. This gives you a dedicated opportunity to walk through your home with a member of our team, note anything that needs service, and ensure everything is meeting expectations. Your Customer Care team will coordinate the timing with you. 

Multi-Year Structural Warranty may be transferable to a subsequent homeowner, subject to the terms and conditions of the warranty program. Contact our Customer Care team for details on the transfer process and any requirements that apply. 

Builder Backed is a personalized home management tool available to Fischer homeowners. It helps you: 


  • Receive seasonal maintenance reminders tailored to your home 
  • Track service records, warranties, and projects 
  • Connect with trusted local professionals for repairs or upgrades 


Think of it as a long-term companion to your warranty — it helps you stay on top of routine maintenance so small things don't become big ones. 

Your first point of contact is the Fischer Homes Customer Care team. You can reach them through the Homeowner Portal for non-urgent requests or by phone at (859) 344-5975 for time-sensitive issues. Whether it's a warranty question, a maintenance concern, or general homeowner support, the team is there to help.

Still Have Questions?

Getting Started

The best place to start is by exploring our available communities and floorplans. Once you have found a design and location you love, connect with a new home advisor who will walk you through the next steps — from your purchase agreement to your design appointment and beyond.

We strongly recommend connecting with Victory Mortgage to get pre-qualified before you begin. Pre-qualification gives you a clear understanding of your budget and puts you in a stronger position when it is time to move forward.

Processes and Expectations

After your purchase agreement is signed, your next step is your design selections appointment at the Fischer Homes Design Studio. From there, you will meet your Field Manager, who will guide you through each construction milestone until your home is complete.

Your Field Manager will be your primary point of contact throughout the construction process. You will be invited to key milestone walkthroughs, including your pre-drywall review, and will receive regular updates on the progress of your home.

A pre-drywall review is a milestone walkthrough that takes place before the interior walls of your home are closed in. During this visit, you and your Field Manager will walk through the home together to review structural components, confirm that your selections are being installed correctly, and address any questions before construction continues.

Policies and Requirements

Depending on the stage of construction, some changes may be possible. However, modifications become increasingly difficult once construction is underway. We recommend finalizing all selections during your Design Studio appointment to avoid delays or additional costs.

Your Fischer home is backed by a comprehensive warranty program that includes one year of workmanship and materials coverage and multi-year structural coverage. Contact our warranty team for full details on what is included.

All warranty and service requests are submitted through the Fischer Homes Homeowner Portal. Log in to your account, describe the issue, and our dedicated warranty team will follow up to confirm receipt and outline next steps. You can also reach our warranty support line directly at (859) 344-5975.
