What is the home addition process with Moss in Casanova?

Natalie’s answer

“MOSS guides Casanova homeowners through a single integrated design-build journey that runs from an initial Explore phase and complimentary Create a Solution consultation, through design with virtual reality visualization, a formal project plan in MOSS Online, and hands-on construction supervised by a dedicated Project Manager, all the way to Customer for Life support after closeout, one accountable team handling everything, including Fauquier County permitting, from first conversation to final”

When you build an addition with MOSS in Casanova, you work with a single, integrated design-buildteam rather than hiring a separate architect, a separate designer, and then a general contractor who may never have seen the original drawings. One accountable organization carries your project from the first conversation through final walkthrough, which means the people designing your addition are the same people building it, reducing miscommunication, cost surprises, and scheduling gaps that commonly arise when disciplines are siloed.

The process begins with Explore, Research and Evaluation, where you learn about MOSS's approach, past projects, and process, and can use MOSS's AI tool Natalieto explore the full universe of possible addition solutions for your Casanova home. From there, MOSS moves into Create a Solution for Your Vision, a no-obligation, complimentary step led by a non-commissioned Project Developer who conducts a virtual discovery session and an in-home consultation, then delivers a project presentation built around your specific goals. Because that advisor is non-commissioned, the conversation stays focused on finding the right fit for your family rather than closing a sale. Once you are ready to move forward and sign your contract, you enter Get Started With Your Team, where your initial deposit is collected and your full team is immediately assigned: a Senior Project Developer, Senior Project Architect, Senior Project Designer, and Senior Project Manager who guide planning from day one. The design phase that follows, Enjoy a Superior Design Experience, puts MOSS 360 architects and Project Designers to work alongside you, making real-time selections and letting you visualize the finished addition in virtual reality before a single wall is opened. Your Senior Project Manager and Project Manager then Develop Your Customized Project Plan, delivering a formal document that covers the site plan, project schedule, communication plan, and safety plan, all visible alongside your budget, selections, and any change orders through the online portal MOSS Online. Construction itself begins in Start Constructing Your Dream Home, with a dedicated Project Manager on site supervising quality control, safety, cleanliness, and daily communication, while your Senior Project Manager oversees the broader project arc. The relationship closes, and continues, with Enjoy Customer for Life Perks, MOSS's commitment to ongoing support well beyond project completion.

For Casanova homeowners specifically, this structure addresses several real concerns. Fauquier County requires permits for virtually all structural additions, and MOSS manages that entire submission and inspection process, including coordination around well and septic approvals if your addition adds a bedroom. The virtual reality visualization step means your plans are thoroughly developed and accurate before construction starts, particularly valuable in older rural properties where hidden conditions behind walls can otherwise derail a project mid-build. And with one team accountable from design through closeout, questions about who is responsible for a discrepancy between the drawings and the field simply do not arise.
