Chateau's arrangement with Studio Chateau^TM offers a unique management reporting system that is available in real time for builder use. We have been using Studio Chateau^TM for ten years and have found that our profits have increased significantly while our margin for errors have decreased substantially. Some of the unique, and oftentimes paperless, features Chateau offers through Studio Chateau^TM are summarized below.

• Online Options Catalog - Descriptions, images, pricing and disclaimers for every option offered per community, per plan.

• Cutoff Manager - At midnight on the day of the cutoff provided by construction, options are no longer available or viewable to the homebuyer or designer.
