What is the home addition process with Moss in Washington Grove?

When you build a home addition with MOSS, you work with one integrated design-buildteam rather than coordinating separately between an architect, an interior designer, and a general contractor. That single-team structure means one contract, one point of contact, and shared accountability from the first conversation about your vision all the way through construction closeout, a meaningful distinction from the fragmented hiring process manyWashington Grove homeowners otherwise face.

The MOSS process begins with Explore, Research and Evaluation, where you learn about the MOSS approach, past projects, and what the process involves. MOSS's AI tool Natalieis available here to help you explore the full universe of possible solutions for your addition. From there, MOSS moves into Create a Solution for Your Vision, a no-obligation, complimentary step in which a non-commissioned Project Developer conducts a virtual discovery session and an in-home consultation, then delivers a project presentation. Because your Project Developer works on salary rather than commission, their only goal is finding the right fit 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. The next step, Enjoy a Superior Design Experience, is where MOSS 360 Architects and Project Designers design your addition and make real-time selections with you, including virtual reality visualization so you can see exactly what will be built before construction starts. Your Senior Project Manager and Project Manager then Develop Your Customized Project Plan, a formal document covering a site plan, project schedule, communication plan, and safety plan, all accessible alongside your budget, selections, and any change orders through your online portal, MOSS Online. Construction begins in the Start Constructing Your Dream Home phase under the daily supervision of a dedicated Project Manager who handles quality control, safety, site cleanliness, and communication, with your Senior Project Manager overseeing the project's overall success. After completion, you Enjoy Customer for Life Perks as a permanent member of the MOSS family, with ongoing support well beyond move-in.

For Washington Grove homeowners specifically, this process addresses several realities that matter locally. Montgomery County's permitting timeline, typically 20 to 30 days from complete submission to permit issuance, with additional cycles if plan revisions are required, is managed entirely by MOSS, drawing on 25-plus years of experience in the county. The accurate, architect-drawn plans produced during the design phase satisfy Montgomery County's Form 210 requirements and reduce the likelihood of resubmission delays. And because Washington Grove's older homes often hold surprises inside the walls, having a single accountable team that designed the project and is now building it means issues are resolved within one organization rather than becoming disputes between a separate architect and contractor.
