​Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about building with 111 Homes in Amarillo, Canyon, or Bushland.
General Questions
111 Homes offers a variety of floor plans across Amarillo and Canyon, ranging from single-story designs to larger two-story layouts. Floor plans vary by community and lot availability. Give us a call or text 806-410-2009 to connect with a specialist to see what's currently available and which plans can be built in your preferred area.
111 Homes works with a network of preferred lenders who are familiar with new construction financing. While you are welcome to use your own lender, our preferred lenders understand our build timeline and closing process, which can make things smoother. Ask a 111 Homes specialist for current preferred lender information and any available incentives.
Floor plan layouts are generally set per plan, but 111 Homes offers a selection of plans with different configurations to fit your lifestyle. Within your chosen plan, you can typically select finishes, options, and upgrades. Structural modifications vary by plan and stage of construction, so ask your specialist early in the process to understand what's possible for the home you're considering.
The base price of a 111 Homes home is typically turnkey and includes the lot, foundation, framing, roofing, exterior finishes, interior drywall, standard flooring, cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, landscaping, and appliances as specified in your contract. Upgrades, lot premiums, and change orders are priced separately. Your sales specialist can walk you through exactly what's included for the specific plan and community you're considering.
After you choose your floor plan and lot and get pre-approved, you'll pick your upgrades and options, then finalize your purchase agreement and pay your deposit. The deposit level is tied to which selections are included in your home, and we'll go over it with you in person. Change orders after that are typically paid in full at the time of the change and documented in writing.

Post-Closing
For emergencies that could cause immediate harm or major property damage, follow the emergency instructions in your Homeowner's Manual. During business hours, contact our Customer Service team right away. After hours or on weekends, you may be directed to contact specific trade partners (for example, plumbing or HVAC) for urgent assistance.
Closing
Closing dates can shift if there are construction delays, inspection or utility issues, or significant change orders. In many cases we allow a one-time extension of up to 10 days without penalty, but longer extensions may include extra carrying or interest costs. We'll keep you updated and communicate any changes as early as possible.
Warranty
For routine warranty or service requests, submit a service request on our website or contact our Customer Service team by phone or text. We'll review your request, determine whether it's covered by the builder warranty, an appliance manufacturer, or homeowner maintenance, and then schedule an inspection or repair as needed.
Common exclusions include normal wear and tear, cosmetic variations like minor color differences, damage caused by improper maintenance or homeowner-performed work, work done by non-approved contractors, and damage resulting from delayed reporting of emergencies or from events outside the scope of the warranty. Refer to your warranty documents for the full list of exclusions.
During your first year, we assist in identifying whether an appliance issue is related to installation or to the appliance itself. After that, coverage is primarily through the manufacturer's warranty. Keep your appliance manuals and warranty booklets handy and be prepared to provide your closing date as the date of purchase.
Design & Change Orders
Many features are selected by 111 Homes and included in the base price, including cabinet style and finish, cabinet hardware, interior doors and trim, the lighting layout, window style, the appliance package, vanity and mirror layouts, shower glass, the HVAC system, the sprinkler system design and the fence style. Standard features include stainless steel appliances, granite or quartz countertops, custom shaker cabinets with soft-close hinges, a stainless undermount sink with disposal, LED lighting, ceiling fans, brick on the first floor, an automatic zoned sprinkler system, a wood privacy fence and a finished, painted garage. You choose your flooring tile, shower tile, backsplash and countertops from our available options, and you can add upgrades at that time. Upgrades, lot premiums and change orders are priced separately. Some features vary by floor plan.
Selections happen in person, before we set the price. You'll choose from our available options for flooring tile, shower tile, backsplash and countertops, and pick any upgrades you want at the same time. Depending on your home, selections can also include paint colors, plumbing fixtures, and brick, window and roof colors. Your selections are finalized along with your plans before construction begins.
Some changes, especially structural or late-stage design changes, can impact the schedule. We allow a one-time closing extension of up to 10 days without penalty in many contracts, but delays beyond that may cause you to incur additional costs such as construction-loan interest or holding costs. We'll discuss any schedule impact before you approve a change.
Construction Process
Yes. 111 Homes designs and builds custom homes on your land, built around your vision and preferences. Before we start, we'll need to know two things about your lot: whether it uses septic or city sewer and a well or city water, and whether it has power. From there, the process is an initial consultation, design and selections, approvals and permits, construction, and a final walkthrough at handover. Each plan can be adjusted to fit your needs. Call or text 806-410-2009 to talk about your land.
Things to check on your lot:
Septic: In Potter and Randall counties, septic systems are permitted by the Amarillo Area Public Health District. The minimum lot size is 1 acre with a private well, or 1/2 acre with public water, and some lots platted before 1988 may qualify for exceptions. A licensed site evaluator needs to evaluate the site before a permit is issued.
911 address: Any property with a septic system needs a 911 address. Depending on where the land is, it comes from the City of Amarillo or the Potter-Randall 9-1-1 Emergency Communications District.
Plat: For a septic permit, land of 5 acres or less within Amarillo's extraterritorial jurisdiction, or 10 acres or less outside it, needs a plat unless an exemption applies. Land that has been divided may need a replat.
Water well in Potter County: In the Panhandle Groundwater Conservation District, every well must be registered or permitted. A household well that pumps 17.5 gallons per minute or less only needs a registration.
Water well in Randall County: The High Plains Water District serves Randall County. A household well under 17.5 gallons per minute doesn't need a permit, and registering it is optional. Check which district covers your exact tract.
Flood zone: Look up your land on FEMA's flood maps. Outside city limits, Randall County requires a floodplain development permit before building. Homes can't be built in a floodway, and lenders require flood insurance for homes in a high-risk flood zone. Potter County also has rules for mapped flood areas.
Driveway: In Randall County, a driveway or culvert that crosses the county road right-of-way needs a permit from the county Road & Bridge Department.
Building permits: Inside city limits, the city issues building permits. Outside city limits, the rules are different, but the septic, well, flood and driveway rules above still apply. We'll help you sort out what applies to your land.
Timelines depend on the plan, lot, and whether you're purchasing a quick-move-in home or a ground-up build. In general, quick-move-in homes can often close within a few months, while ground-up builds typically take about 7 to 9 months from start to finish. At contract, we'll give you a project schedule and update you weekly as we move through each milestone.
