Scheduling

Builder systems vary but the following guidelines are typical of most orientation programs.

• Although you may be aware of an approximate time weeks in advance, expect several days notice for the specific orientation appointment.
• Most builders schedule the orientation for several days before the closing appointment. This practice provides time to complete items noted before you move in.
• Allow a minimum of 2 hours for the orientation. Most take 90 minutes, others up to 4 hours.
• Avoid scheduling your orientation over a lunch hour or on a day when other appointments compete for your attention.
• Avoid late afternoon appointments. Dramatic streams of sunlight or harsh shadows, caused by a setting sun make it difficult to see surfaces clearly.
• Generally builders offer appointments Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m.
