Design Your Own Home
Today, many home shoppers begin their search on the internet. They want to understand what floor plans and modifications are available, and most importantly, what the interior looks and feels like. They like to do their homework before they contact the seller. Unfortunately, most internet sites do not offer the kind of experience they seek. While most have floor plan drawings, they are often technical in detail and do not inform the viewer about key issues like furniture placement and flexibility. If they have any interior images, they are one-dimensional photographs that give the shopper only a small glimpse of what the home will look like. To enhance the shopping process, and provide the consumer with a more informed experience, Champion Homes Builders developed the DiVE IN tool.
DiVE IN (Design Interactive Viewing Experience) provides many tools that a prospective homeowner can interact with by choosing a home plan from a wide menu of lifestyle options, view exterior treatments and colors, take an immersive “virtual tour”, and record their shopping preferences for future reference.
Flex Design
DiVE IN homes offer a wide variety of structural modifications that allow the shopper to “customize” a design to fit the needs of their family. While selections vary depending upon the model, they typically include: additional living space, re-configuring of existing space to accommodate home offices, additional bedrooms, flex space, alternate kitchen designs, and other exciting options. You can select each option on the menu and instantly the floor plan will be modified to record your selection.
Exterior Elevations
Once you have selected a floor plan and customized it to fit your needs, you can move to the “Elevations” tab where you can view the standard exterior treatments, as well as possible alternate exteriors. With each exterior you can choose between three color treatments.
Photo Gallery
Spend time in the “Photo Gallery” and you can easily access a variety of images that will give you a better understanding of the interior space.
Virtual Tour – 360 View
Images are helpful, but to truly understand the interior space a virtual tour is required. So, click on the “360 View” tab and select one of the camera icons available. You will immediately be in the center of a virtual spin that will give a full sense of the size, and the relationship between different rooms. Once you have taken a spin, you will know right away if this is the home for you.
Preview and Print
You can capture your DiVE IN experience by printing your summary page, which will identify the structural options you selected and the exterior treatments you liked most. Take this printed page with you when you visit one of our authorized retailers and it will assist them in providing you with all the pricing information you need to make your final decision.
