About Prodigy Homes

Our transparency, communication, and organization skills are unmatched. We provide labeled progress photos, a color-coded outlook on the schedule, a messaging center, and much more, which is incredibly unique in our industry.
At Prodigy Homes, Inc. we use a unique online build system, called Buildertrend. This system allows constant communication between the builder, buyer, and subs so there are fewer misunderstandings. You are able to view daily progress photos, message the builder, and approve change orders and selections—all with just a few clicks in your personalized account. We at Prodigy Homes, Inc. strive to deliver a superior product to buyers, while at the same time keeping costs low and deadlines met. For 8 years straight Prodigy Homes has won the “Best Workmanship” award in the Parade of Homes™!
Quality local professional contractors build every Prodigy Home, with local suppliers within the surrounding area. We understand that hiring within your community helps build your local economy. Specialists have trained each contractor to achieve the level required by Prodigy Homes.
Loyalty is very important to us at Prodigy Homes, so we do not switch subcontractors on request. You can rest assured, however, that we only work with efficient and knowledgeable subs. They know our scheduling requirements and high-quality standards, and they will deliver a top-notch product for you.
We have happily been building homes now for 25 years!

Building Process

Typically, it takes six to eight months to build the house after the permit. This will vary, of course, depending on the weather and any changes made that affect the completion date. That said, we at Prodigy Homes take pride in our efficient scheduling. To find out more, please see our building process.
We have made it easy to communicate with us. Simply log into your job and send us a message.
Absolutely! Our motto is “Every House, Every Room, Every Day.” The Project Manager and Superintendent, with a careful eye, walk each home to ensure our high-quality standards are met.
The final walkthrough, or what we call Buyer Orientation, is where the buyer and the builder go through the home room by room to make sure that everything is adequate before closing and key handoff. Check out our YouTube videos all about our buyer orientation process.
We are happy that you want to build your home with us. Before scheduling your appointment, take some time to look through our floorplans, making a list of any that interest you. Think about how many bedrooms and bathrooms you need, and how much square footage your home should have. Do you already own a lot? If not, is there a particular area you’re interested in? When you’re ready, you can contact our sales agents. They will assist you and answer any questions you have.
The short answer is yes, although there may be some circumstances that will deter this—such as remote location, accessibility issues, or geotechnical challenges.
Due to liability issues and your safety, an appointment needs to be made with an authorized Prodigy Homes representative to visit the site.
Job sites can be very dangerous, so we require that you make an appointment if you decide to check on the progress of your home. Alternatively, we do post pictures of the progress every day, so you can watch your new house being built from the safety and comfort of your current home.
We have many lots in a number of new communities to choose from. We can also help find property offsite as well.
We build in Kennewick, Richland, West Richland, and Pasco, in a variety of subdivisions. To explore some of the communities we build in, please visit the communities page. Questions? Contact us, and we are happy to help!

Customization & Selection

Yes! There are multiple styles, color, and design options available during selections that are within standards. In addition, we have numerous upgrade options aside from our “not so standard” standards. Check out our Diamond and Pearl collections.
We believe lighting is the jewelry of your home. Prodigy Homes doesn’t box the buyer into A, B, or C type of lighting packaged selections. Instead, we offer a budget for lighting, allowing you to customize your home and express your style.
Yes! Our online portal allows buyers to make selections by simply logging into their accounts and approving their favorite choices. For hard surface selections, many have worked directly with our design center professional to remotely guide them through the quartz, granite, tile, carpet, and backsplash selections.
While a designer can be a great help during selections, we do not believe that it is necessary. At our selections center, you will receive the help and guidance of our experienced design professional.
Minor changes can be made during construction. Our Change Orders are handled digitally. We post the details and price online for you to approve.
Change Order payment is required at the time of the Change Order approval. However, the Change Order may still be financed in your loan. If you choose to finance the changes into your loan, you may communicate with your loan officer and real estate agent to ensure timely closing. A price change addendum will be required to update the sales price of your home. In addition, your payments for the Change Order will be converted to deposits and applied to the purchase price of your home.

Real Estate & Sales

Having our dedicated team of agents represent us is an integral part of our building process at Prodigy. Our sales agents have access to our most current lots, available homes, communities, pricing information, and what’s coming soon. Since we work with the same agents for all of our projects, they are very familiar with our building process and therefore able to answer any questions and concerns you might have. Working closely with agents in this way leaves us free to focus on what we do best: building high-quality homes.
We are pleased that you have selected an agent to represent you as the buyer. Your real estate agent will work with our sales agent to get information and communicate questions on a build.
Our amazing team of sales agents has access to the most current pricing information. They are well acquainted with our building process and fully equipped to address any of your questions and concerns.
While it is not a requirement that you work with a real estate agent to represent you, Prodigy Homes works with a dedicated sales/real estate agent.

Financing

The short answer is no, you do not have to carry your own construction financing. However, it will depend on the situation, the amount to be financed, and most importantly what the best option is for you, the buyer.
Prodigy Homes offers a few different types of builds:
  1. You want to build one of our floor plans on one of our lots. Prodigy Homes will need a construction deposit and a pre-qualification letter from an accredited lender.
  2. You own your lot and want to build one of our floor plans. Prodigy Homes will need a construction deposit. You can:
    • a) Carry your construction loan, or
    • b) Quitclaim your lot as a deposit to Prodigy Homes. This will allow us to provide financing for the build.
Yes, Prodigy Homes has preferred lenders. Our preferred lenders have been working with us for many years, and we trust their professionalism, knowledge, and timeliness when it comes to buyer pre-qualification and closings. Contact us for more details.

Warranty & Maintenance

Absolutely! Every Prodigy home comes with a 2-10 Home Buyer’s Warranty, which is this country’s leading new-home warranty program. The 2-10 HBW ensures that your new home is protected inside and out.
We have a dedicated Warranty Manager who is ready to coordinate your online Warranty Request as soon as you send it in. Taking care of our clients is our #1 priority.

Cracks and separation in grout/caulking are normal settling cracks. It is best to let these continue to crack until the house is settled. We will repair these settling issues, one time only, near the end of the first year of coverage.
If Prodigy Homes has provided final grading and landscaping, we will fill and correct settled areas, one time only, during the first year of coverage. Please reference the 2-10 warranty manual (section 1.1).
We will refasten any loose subfloor or take other corrective action to reduce squeaking to the extent possible within reasonable repair capability without removing floor and ceiling finishes, but a totally squeak-proof floor cannot be guaranteed. Please reference the 2-10 warranty manual (section 4.1).
Minor cracks in concrete floor slabs are normal due to shrinking, but they do not affect the integrity of the concrete. Cracks exceeding 3/16″ in width will be repaired during the first year of coverage. Please reference the 2-10 warranty manual (section 2.1).
