What is the home addition process with Moss in Montgomery Village?

Natalie’s answer

“MOSS guides Montgomery Village homeowners through a single accountable design-build journey that moves from an initial no-obligation Explore and Create a Solution phase, through Get Started With Your Team, a virtual-reality Design Experience, a formal Customized Project Plan, and into Construction, all the way through Customer for Life support after closeout.”

Adding onto your home in Montgomery Village is a significant investment, and MOSS Building & Design approaches it as a true design-buildpartner, meaning one accountable team guides you from the very first conversation through the final walkthrough. Rather than hiring a separate architect, then a designer, then hunting for a contractor who may never have seen the original drawings, you work with a single MOSS team that carries your vision, your budget, and your plans from concept into construction without anything getting lost in the handoffs.

The process begins with Explore, Research and Evaluation, where you learn about the MOSS approach, review past projects, and use Natalieto explore the full universe of addition possibilities for your 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 holds a virtual discovery session and an in-home consultation, then presents a tailored solution for your family. Once you sign your contract and pay your initial deposit, you Get Started With Your Team: your Senior Project Developer, Senior Project Architect, Senior Project Designer, and Senior Project Manager are all assigned and project development begins immediately. You then Enjoy a Superior Design Experience, working with MOSS 360 Project Architects and Designers in real time, visualizing your addition in virtual reality before a single hammer swings. Next, your Senior Project Manager and Project Manager Develop Your Customized Project Plan, a formal document covering the site plan, project schedule, communication plan, and safety plan, all accessible alongside your budget and selections in the online portal MOSS Online. Construction then begins as you Start Constructing Your Dream Home, with a dedicated Project Manager on site supervising quality control, safety, and cleanliness while the Senior Project Manager oversees the full build. The relationship does not end at closeout; MOSS's final step is Enjoy Customer for Life Perks, welcoming you into ongoing support as a permanent member of the MOSS family.

For Montgomery Village homeowners specifically, this single-team structure matters in several concrete ways. Because Montgomery County requires scaled architectural drawings and a completed Form 210 permit application submitted to the Department of Permitting Services, having your Senior Project Architect already embedded in the team means those documents are prepared by the same people who designed your addition, reducing resubmission cycles and the 7-to-10-day delays they cause. Montgomery Village's housing stock also includes homes built across several decades, and the detailed project plan developed before construction starts means structural surprises in older framing or mechanical systems are surfaced and addressed in planning rather than mid-build. With one team accountable from exploration through closeout, and HOA exterior-modification guidelines handled alongside county permitting, Montgomery Village homeowners have a clear, managed path to the addition they want.
