Design Studio Frequently Asked Questions

Each community boasts its own Akel Homes Design Studio. All of the personalization upgrades and options available for selection in your preferred community are showcased there. A Design Consultant will assist you in creating a personalized home within your budget. Typical options include: flooring, cabinetry, countertops, plumbing fixtures, electric and low-voltage options and so much more!

The answer is yes. At Akel Homes, our included premium features comes with choices to choose from. With every home comes the ability to customize your cabinetry, flooring, countertops and so much more.

A Design Consultant will assist you in each step of the way in defining your ideal home and selecting finishes within your budget. The Design Studio appointment(s) is engaging and fun.

The Design Process is broken down into three steps:

  1. Prior to or at the time of the contract signing, all permitted options and color schemes must be finalized. This is done early on to prevent delays in construction.
  2. After the Purchase Agreement is signed, the homebuyer will schedule and attend an Orientation Appointment to familiarize them with the selection offerings.
  3. A few days after the Orientation Appointment, the homebuyer will attend the Selection Appointment. All selections must be finalized within 15 days of the Orientation Appointment. Review your contact to understand the Design Deadlines!

Even before you purchase a home, you can come in and preview the selections during business hours. However, in order to receive personal attention, an appointment is necessary. The Design Process may require several appointments as outlined in your Purchase Agreement. The first appointment may last around 3 to 4 hours as you learn about your preferences and style. Subsequent appointments may be shorter if you are simply finalizing your selections.

Imagine how you and your family will utilize each room. List all of the details that will impact your lifestyle – location of outlets, pre-wiring, and lighting to list a few. Next, visit our decorated models and gather inspiration from the options showcased. We recommend you bring any photos or other design inspiration to the Design Studio appointment to assist your Design Consultant in understanding your style and preferences. Finally, Design Studio appointments can take a few hours. Arrange for a babysitter so that you can focus on the appointment.

This is all up to you! Each and every Akel Home comes with premium and luxury included features. Every homebuyer has a different desired budget. Our Design Consultant will work with you to stay within your desired budget.

The options selections vary by community. Typical selections include cabinets, countertops, flooring, lighting, appliances, and window coverings. Structural options such as floorplan modifications, smart pre-wiring and environmentally friendly upgrades may be available. Our homes are tailored to your lifestyle.

In most situations, the answer is yes. As long as you meet your lender’s criteria and are able to meet your monthly payments, you can roll your design options into your home.

Akel Homes partners with a variety of reputable companies such as Moen, General Electric appliances and Mohawk flooring to list a few. Each community may carry different brands than others.
