DRB HOMES
TAMPA DIVISION
Let’s Get Started!
Our team recognizes that every homebuilding journey is personal, and we are eager to tailor your living space and experience to suit your individual needs. Before your Design Studio appointment, we encourage you to take a virtual tour of our award-winning model homes and browse our design options. This will empower you to make informed choices and pave the way for a truly personalized home and an unforgettable experience!
How to Prepare
At DRB Homes Tampa, we are excited to collaborate with you and create a personalized space in your new home. While we understand that browsing online has its limitations, we highly encourage you to explore the design options we offer before your Design Studio appointment. This will give you a better understanding of our offerings and help you make informed decisions.
It can be helpful to bring the following items with you:
BRING PHOTOS OF HOMES YOU’VE TOURED
Images of DRB model homes or other homes that inspire you will help us understand your preferences.
INSPIRATIONAL PHOTOS OR PINTEREST© BOARDS
Sharing your vision, whether it’s a specific style, color palette, or design element will guide us in tailoring your space.
FABRIC, TEXTURES, OR PAINT SAMPLES
If there are specific fabrics, textures, or paint colors that you are drawn to, bringing samples will help us find complementary options.
MARKED-UP FLOOR PLANS OR RENDERINGS
Bring any notes or modifications related to electrical, lighting, and TV placements to ensure we capture all your requirements.
