Brigata Hills
Architectural Review

Get approval before you build

The Architectural Review Committee reviews new homes and exterior changes against the Declaration and the Architectural Design Guidelines. Approval is required before work begins.

How review works

  1. Check the standards

    Review the community standards and, for new homes, the Design Guidelines below.

  2. Complete the Modification Form

    Download the fillable Modification Form. Builders use the Builder Packet.

  3. Email it with your plans

    Send the form and supporting materials to [email protected].

  4. Allow 30 days

    The review period starts once all required information is received. Incomplete submissions are returned with a list of what is missing.

  5. Receive a written decision

    Decisions are issued in writing by First American Property Management on behalf of the Committee, sent to the email address on your form. Conditional approvals list what must be confirmed before work starts. Start work only after written approval. No response is not approval; if 30 days pass after a complete submission, contact management.

What to include

Complete submissions are reviewed faster. Include:

  • Completed Modification Form
  • Drawings or product photos
  • Site plan showing placement
  • Dimensions and heights
