When all required items are complete, use the Status dropdown in the project header to change the status to Submitted.
Appendix A — Project Application
- Your company name, phone, address, and license info auto-fill from your profile
- Fill in all remaining fields — owner info, construction type, home style, heated square footage (broken out by First Floor / Second Floor / Above Garage), window details, exterior materials, and project timeline
- A Road Impact Fee estimate and its calculation breakdown appear automatically once you enter heated square footage
- Click Save Progress at any time. The form also auto-saves 45 seconds after your last change.
- The Property Owner must sign — once it's ready, use the ✉ Notify Owner button on your project page (see "The Signing Flow" below) so they get an email to log in and sign at the bottom of the page
- Once the owner has signed, the document is automatically marked complete
- Click Download as PDF to generate a PDF with the signature embedded
Appendix B — Construction Agreement
- Page 1 auto-fills your contractor info and the project's location and owner details
- Fill in insurance agency/agent and job superintendent
- Page 5 lists your subcontractors — auto-populated from your My Profile → Subcontractors list. Edit lines directly if the sub list differs for this project.
- Two signatures required: the Property Owner signs first, then you sign as Contractor
- Click Save at any time to save form data
- Click Print / PDF to print or save
Appendix C — Construction Regulations
- All five pages are read-only reference content — no form to fill out
- Two signatures required: Property Owner signs first, then you sign as Contractor
- Signatures save automatically when applied
- Click Print / PDF to print or save
The Signing Flow — Appendix A, B & C
- You (the builder) fill out the form and click Save
- Once it's ready for the owner, click the ✉ Notify Owner button next to that document on your project page and confirm — this automatically emails the owner that a document is ready for their signature (or, if they haven't registered for the portal yet, emails them a registration reminder instead)
- The owner logs into their portal account at arb.enhoa.com/portal
- The owner opens the project → clicks View on the relevant appendix
- The owner clicks their signature box, draws their signature, and clicks Apply Signature — saves automatically
- You then log back in and draw your contractor signature
Signature boxes are role-restricted. Owners can only sign the owner line; you can only sign the contractor line.
The Notify Owner button appears next to any Appendix A/B/C document that's been saved and isn't fully signed yet — it asks you to confirm before it emails the owner, so double-check the form is actually ready first.
Scheduling a Final Inspection
Once construction is ready, scroll to the bottom of your project page to the Schedule Final Inspection card. You can propose it any time — there's no status requirement.
- Enter up to 3 date + timeframe options (e.g. "Tuesday, morning")
- Add any notes for the ARB
- Submit — the ARB office is notified automatically
The ARB will either confirm one of your proposed times or request new dates. Either way, you'll receive an email reply. If new dates are requested, return to the same card to resubmit.

Your Builder's Project
Your dashboard shows a status card for your Eagles Nest project once your builder starts a submission for your lot — Not Yet Submitted, Waiting on Your Signature, Submitted, Under Review, Approved, or Denied.
If no project appears yet, your builder hasn't started the submission — contact them directly.
Click View Submission Details on your project card to see the full document checklist. Each item shows whether it is complete or still pending. Click View next to any document to open and review its content.
Signing Documents
Your builder will contact you when a document is ready for your signature. You will need to sign three documents:
| Document | Your Role |
| Appendix A — Project Application | Authorize the application |
| Appendix B — Construction Agreement | Acknowledge the contractor work rules |
| Appendix C — Construction Regulations | Acknowledge the community construction regulations |
To sign a document:
- Log in at arb.enhoa.com/portal
- Click your project card → click View next to the document
- Scroll to the signature section at the bottom of the page
- Click the signature box next to your name
- Draw your signature using your mouse, trackpad, or finger on a touchscreen
- Click Apply Signature — your signature and the date save automatically
Important: Your builder must save the document before you can sign it. If you see an error, contact your builder and ask them to open and save the document first, then try again.
Submitting a Small Project Yourself

- Click + New Project
- Select the project type and enter a short description
- Add the color/product name if applicable
- Attach up to 6 photos
- Submit — it appears in the ARB's review queue automatically
