Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	1. Basis of Presentation Century Communities, Inc. (which we refer to as “we,” “CCS” or the “Company”) is engaged in the development, design, construction, marketing and sale of single-family attached and detached homes in metropolitan areas in Colorado, Austin and San Antonio, Texas (which we refer to as “Central Texas”), Houston, Texas, Las Vegas, Nevada, Salt Lake City, Utah and Atlanta, Georgia. Our homebuilding operations are organized into the following six operating segments based on the geographic markets in which we operate: Atlanta, Central Texas, Colorado, Houston, Nevada, and Utah. In many of our projects, in addition to building homes, we are responsible for the entitlement and development of the underlying land. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (which we refer to as “GAAP”) for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (which we refer to as the “SEC”). In the o pinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and results of operations. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. The financial statements and related notes do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 that was filed with the SEC on February 19, 2016. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, as well as all subsidiaries in which we have a controlling interest, and variable interest entities for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable primarily consist of contract receivables related to certain contracts in our Central Texas and Houston operating segments accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method. We periodically review the collectability of our accounts receivables, and, if it is determined that a receivable might not be fully collectible, an allowance is recorded for the amount deemed uncollectible. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , no allowance was recorded related to accounts receivable. Cash Held in Escrow Cash held in escrow consists of amounts related to the proceeds from home closings held for our benefit in escrow, which are typically held for less than a few days. Reclassifications Prior period amounts related to the proceeds from home closings held for our benefit in escrow were previously classified in “Accounts receivable” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and have been reclassified as “Cash held in escrow.” The amount reclassified as of December 31, 2015 was $11.8 million. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (which we refer to as “FASB”) issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” and will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2018, including interim reporting periods within that period. Early adoption is permitted as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2015-14 will have on our consolidated financial statements. We do not intend to early adopt ASU 2015-14. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” ASU 2016-02 requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019 and interim periods within the annual periods. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements.  In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017 and interim periods within the annual periods. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-09 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.  In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows- Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” ASU 2016-15 consists of eight provisions that provide guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2017 . We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-15 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Reporting Segments [Abstract]
Reporting Segments	2. Reporting Segments Our homebuilding operations are organized into the following six operating segments based on the geographic markets in which we operate: Atlanta, Central Texas, Colorado, Houston, Nevada, and Utah. Our Corporate operations are a non-operating segment, as it serves to support our homebuilding operations through functions such as our executive, finance, treasury, human resources, and accounting departments. In addition, our Corporate operations include certain assets and income produced from residential rental property in Colorado. Our homebuilding reportable segments are engaged in the development, design, construction, marketing and sale of single-family attached and detached homes.

Warranty Reserve [Abstract]
Warranty Reserve	6. Warranty Reserve  Estimated future direct warranty costs are accrued and charged to cost of home sales revenues in the period when the related home sales revenues are recognized. Amounts accrued, which are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, are based upon historical experience rates. We subsequently assess the adequacy of our warranty accrual on a quarterly basis through an internal model that incorporates historical payment trends and adjust the amounts recorded if necessary. Based on favorable warranty payment trends relative to our estimates at the time of home closing, we reduced our warranty reserve by $0. 3 million and $0. 9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30 , 2016 , respectively, which is included as a reduction to cost of homes sales revenues on our consolidated statement of operations.

Notes Payable and Revolving Line of Credit	7. Notes Payable and Revolving Line of Credit Notes payable and revolving line of credit included the following (in thousands):     September 30 , December 31,  2016 2015  6.875% senior notes $ 252,765 $ 251,815  Revolving line of credit 190,000 135,000  Land development notes — 2,677  Insurance premium notes 7,566 751  Total notes payable and revolving line of credit $ 450,331 $ 390,243    6.875% senior notes In May 2014, we completed a private offering of $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2022 (which we refer to as the “Initial Senior Notes”) in reliance on Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (which we refer to as the “Securities Act”). The Initial Senior Notes were issued at a price equal to 99.239% of their principal amount, and we received net proceeds of approximately $193.3 million. In February 2015, we completed an offer to exchange $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6.875% senior notes due 2022 , which are registered under the Securities Act (which we refer to as the “Initial Exchange Notes”), for all of the Initial Senior Notes. The terms of the Initial Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects to the Initial Senior Notes, except that the Initial Exchange Notes are registered under the Securities Act and the transfer restrictions, registration rights, and additional interest provisions applicable to the Initial Senior Notes do not apply to the Initial Exchange Notes. In April 2015, we completed a private offering of an additional $60 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6.875% senior notes due 2022 (which we refer to as the “Additional Senior Notes”) in reliance on Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Additional Senior Notes were issued at a price equal to 98.26% of their principal amount, and we received net proceeds of approximately $58.5 million. The Additional Senior Notes are additional notes issued under the indenture pursuant to which the initial $200 million in aggregate principal amount of Initial Senior Notes were issued. In October 2015, we completed an offer to exchange $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6.875% senior notes due 2022 , which are registered under the Securities Act (which we refer to as the “Additional Exchange Notes”), for all of the Additional Senior Notes. The terms of the Additional Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects to the Additional Senior Notes, except that the Additional Exchange Notes are registered under the Securities Act and the transfer restrictions, registration rights, and additional interest provisions applicable to the Additional Senior Notes do not apply to the Additional Exchange Notes. The Initial Exchange Notes and the Additional Exchange Notes bear the same CUSIP number, are fungible with each other, and are treated as a single series of notes under the indenture. We refer to the Initial Exchange Notes and the Additional Exchange Notes, collectively, as the “Senior Notes.” The Senior Notes carry a coupon of 6.875% per annum. The Senior Notes are unsecured senior obligations which are guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by certain of our current and future subsidiaries. The Senior Notes contain certain restrictive covenants on issuing future secured debt and other transactions. The aggregate principal balance of the Senior Notes is due May 2022 , with interest only payments due semi-annually in May and November of each year. Revolving line of credit On October 21, 2014, we entered into a credit agreement with Texas Capital Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and L/C Issuer, and the lenders from time to time party thereto (which, as modified as described below, we refer to as the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provided us with a revolving line of credit of up to $120 million (which, as modified as described below, we refer to as the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we were entitled to request an increase in the size of the Revolving Credit Facility by an amount not exceeding $80 million. If the existing lenders elect not to provide the full amount of a requested increase, we may invite one or more other lender(s) to become a party to the Credit Agreement, subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and L/C Issuer. The Credit Agreement includes a letter of credit sublimit of $20 million. The obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility were guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. On July 31, 2015, we entered into a First Modification Agreement with Texas Capital Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, the lenders party thereto, and our subsidiary guarantors party thereto, which modified the Credit Agreement. The First Modification Agreement, among other things, (i) increased the Revolving Credit Facility from $120 million to $200 million, (ii) extended the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility from October 21, 2017 to October 21, 2018 , (iii) admitted Bank of America, N.A. as a new lender under the Revolving Credit Facility, and ( iv) increased the amount of the increase in the size of the Revolving Credit Facility that we had the option to request, from time to time, from an amount not exceeding $80 million to an amount not exceeding $100 million, subject to the terms and conditions of the First Modification Agreement and the Credit Agreement. On December 22, 2015, we entered into a Second Modification Agreement with Texas Capital Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, the lenders party thereto, and our subsidiary guarantors party thereto, which further modified the Credit Agreement. The Second Modification Agreement, among other things, (i) increased the Revolving Credit Facility from $200 million to $300 million, and (ii) admitted Compass Bank, an Alabama Banking Corporation, and U.S. Bank National Association as new lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility. On August 19, 2016, we entered into a Third Modification Agreement with Texas Capital Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, the lenders party thereto, and our subsidiary guarantors party thereto, which further modified the Credit Agreement. The Third Modification Agreement, among other things, (i) increased the Revolving Credit Facility from $300 million to $380 million, (ii) admitted Citibank, N.A. and Flagstar Bank, FSB as new lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility, (iii) increased certain lenders’ respective commitments to the Revolving Credit Facility, and (iv) extended the term of the Revolving Credit Facility by one year to mature in October 2019. Unless terminated earlier, the principal amount under the Revolving Credit Facility, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing thereunder, if any, will be payable in full on October 21, 201 9 , the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate plus an applicable margin between 2.75% and 3.25% per annum, or, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, a base rate plus an applicable margin between 1.75% and 2.25% per annum. The “applicable margins” described above are determined by a schedule based on our leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also provides for fronting fees and letter of credit fees payable to the L/C Issuer and commitment fees payable to the Administrative Agent equal to 0.20% of the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants (including limitations on our ability to grant liens, incur additional debt, pay dividends, redeem our common stock, make certain investments, and engage in certain merger, consolidation or asset sale transactions), as well as customary events of default. The Credit Agreement also requires us to maintain (i) a leverage ratio of not more than 1.50 to 1.0 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, based upon our and our subsidiaries’ (on a consolidated basis) ratio of debt to tangible net worth, (ii) an interest coverage ratio of not less than 1.50 to 1.0 for any four fiscal quarter period, based upon our and our subsidiaries’ (on a consolidated basis) ratio of EBITDA to cash interest expense, (iii) a consolidated tangible net worth of not less than the sum of $250 million, plus 50% of the net proceeds of any issuances of equity interests by us and the guarantors of the Revolving Credit Facility, plus 50% of the amount of our and our subsidiaries’ consolidated net income, (iv) liquidity of not less than $25 million, and (v) a risk asset ratio of not more than 1.25 to 1.0 , based upon the ratio of the book value of all risk assets owned by us and our subsidiaries to our tangible net worth.

Interest	8. Interest Interest is capitalized to inventories while the related communities are being actively developed and until homes are completed. As our qualifying assets exceeded our outstanding debt during the three a nd nine months ended September 30 , 2016 and 2015 , we capitalized all interest costs incurred during these periods, except for interest incurred on capital leases of equipment related to our golf course operations.

Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	9. Income Taxes  At the end of each interim period we are required to estimate our annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year, and to use that rate to provide for income taxes for the current year-to-date reporting period. Our 2016 estimated annual effective tax rate is driven by our blended federal and state statutory rate of 37.5% , which is partially offset by estimated benefits of 3.5% from additional deductions for tax related to domestic production activities and estimated energy credits, resulting in an estimated annual effective tax rate of 34.0%.  For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we recorded income tax expense of $6.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, we recorded income tax expense of $16.8 million and $13.2 million, respectively. Our income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016 is based on our estimated annual effective tax rate of 34.0% and a discrete item related to energy credits certified during the three months ended September 30, 2016 related to homes delivered in prior years which decreased our expense by $0.3 million.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Disclosures	10. Fair Value Disclosures Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement , defines fair value as the price that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at measurement date and requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in the following three categories: Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are inactive; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets at measurement date. Level 3 — Valuations derived from techniques where one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable in active markets at measurement date. The following table presents carrying values and estimated fair values of financial instruments (in thousands):     September 30 , 2016 December 31, 2015  Hierarchy Carrying Fair Value Carrying Fair Value  Secured note receivable (1) Level 2 $ 2,875 $ 2,968 $ 2,947 $ 2,926   6.875% senior notes (2) Level 2 $ 252,765 $ 254,976 $ 251,815 $ 232,503  Revolving line of credit (3) Level 2 190,000 190,000 135,000 135,000  Land development notes (4) Level 2 — — 2,677 2,672  Insurance premium notes (3) Level 2 7,566 7,566 751 751  Total notes payable and revolving line of credit $ 450,331 $ 452,542 $ 390,243 $ 370,926 (1) The estimated fair value of the secured note received in connection with the disposition of the golf course in our Tuscany community in our Nevada operating segment as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was based on a cash flow model discounted at market interest rates that considered the underlying risks of the note. (2) Estimated fair value of the Senior Notes at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 incorporated recent trading activity in inactive markets. (3) Carrying amount approximates fair value due to short-term nature and interest rate terms. (4) The estimated fair value of the land development notes at December 31, 2015 was based on cash flow models discounted at market interest rates that considered underlying risks of the debt. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value. Non-financial assets and liabilities include items such as inventory and long-lived assets that are measured at fair value when acquired and resulting from impairment, if deemed necessary.

Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	11. Stock-Based Compensation Our authorized capital stock consists of 100.0 million shares of common stock, par value $ 0.01 per share, and 50.0 million shares of preferred stock, par value $ 0.01 per share. As of September 30 , 2016 and December 31, 2015 , there were 20.7 million and 20.6 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively, exclusive of the restricted common stock issued. During the nine months ended September 30 , 2016, we repurchased 0.2 million shares of our common stock at a weighted average price of $15.03 per share. We issued 13.0 thousand and 0.2 million shares of common stock related to the vesting of restricted stock awards during the three and nine months ended September 30 , 2016, respectively. We had reserved a total of 1.8 million shares of our common stock for issuance under our First Amended & Restated 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan, of which, 0.6 million shares remain available for issuance as of September 30 , 2016. D uring the three months ended September 30 , 2016, we did no t grant any stock based compensation . During the nine months ended September 30 , 2016 , we granted 0.5 million shares of restricted stock units with a weighted average grant date fair value of $14.28 per share. Such restricted stock units vest over a three year period from the grant date. Previously, we had issued awards of restricted common stock under our First Amended & Restated 2013 Long-Term Inventive Plan. A summary of our outstanding awards of restricted common stock and restricted stock units are as follows (in thousands, except years):    As of  September 30, 2016  Restricted Stock Awards Restricted Stock Units Total  Unvested awards/units 359 496 855  Unrecognized compensation cost $ 4,311 $ 5,596 $ 9,907  Period to recognize compensation cost 1.2 years 2.4 years 1.87 years (average) During the three months ended September 30 , 2016 and 2015 , we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1.6 million and $ 1.4 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30 , 2016 and 2015, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of $5.1 million and $3.9 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general, and administrative on our consolidated statements of operations.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	12. Earnings Per Share We use the two-class method of calculating earnings per share (which we refer to as “EPS”) as our non-vested restricted stock awards have non-forfeitable rights to dividends and, accordingly, represent a participating security. The two-class method is an earnings allocation method under which EPS is calculated for each class of common stock and participating security considering both dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings as if all such earnings had been distributed during the period. We use the treasury stock method to calculate the dilutive effect of our restricted stock units as the restricted stock units do not have participating rights. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30 , 201 6 and 201 5 (in thousands, except share and per share information):   Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended  September 30 , September 30 ,  2016 2015 2016 2015  Numerator  Net income $ 13,342 $ 10,583 $ 34,467 $ 26,732  Less: Undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities (241) (358) (785) (890)  Net income allocable to common stockholders $ 13,101 $ 10,225 $ 33,682 $ 25,842  Denominator  Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic 20,673,521 20,601,218 20,643,682 20,556,146  Dilutive effect of restricted stock units 148,545 — 88,248 —  Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted 20,822,066 20,601,218 20,731,930 20,556,146  Earnings per share:  Basic $ 0.63 $ 0.50 $ 1.63 $ 1.26  Diluted $ 0.63 $ 0.50 $ 1.62 $ 1.26

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	13. Commitments and Contingencies Letters of Credit and Performance Bonds In the normal course of business, the Company posts letters of credit and performance bonds related to our land development performance obligations with local municipalities. As of September 30 , 2016 and December 31, 2015 , we had $ 66.0 million and $ 63.6 million, respectively, in letters of credit and performance bonds issued and outstanding. Litigation The Company is subject to claims and lawsuits that arise primarily in the ordinary course of business, which consist primarily of construction defect claims. It is the opinion of our management that if the claims have merit, parties other than the Company would be, at least in part, liable for the claims, and eventual outcome of these claims will not have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. When we believe that a loss is probable and estimable, we record a charge to selling, general, and administrative on our consolidated statements of operations for our estimated loss. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of any claims and lawsuits will have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

Disposition of Golf Courses [Abstract]
Disposition of Golf Courses	14. Disposition of Golf Courses On May 26, 2015, we disposed of the operations of the golf course in our Tuscany community in our Nevada operating segment for total consideration of $4.0 million, which included $1.0 million in cash and a $3.0 million secured note, and resulted in a gain on sale of $2.0 thousand. The secured note accrues interest at rates ranging from 4.5% to 5.5% per annum and requires monthly payments of principal and interest with a balloon payment of $2.5 million of principal in May of 2020 . As the put option we exercised on the golf course in our Rhodes Ranch golf community was not responded to by the counterparty, during the second quarter of 2016 , we initiated a plan for the disposition of the golf course . W e believe the disposition is probable within one year and, a ccordingly, the assets and liabilities have continued to be classified as held for sale and presented in prepaid expenses and other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30 , 2016.

Supplemental Guarantor Information [Abstract]
Supplemental Guarantor Information	15 . Supplemental Guarantor Information In May 2014, we completed a private offering of $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6.875% senior notes due 2022 (which we refer to as the “Initial Senior Notes”). In February 2015, we completed an offer to exchange $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6.875% senior notes due 2022, which are registered under the Securities Act (which we refer to as the “Initial Exchange Notes”), for all of the Initial Senior Notes sold and issued in the May 2014 private offering. The terms of the Initial Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects to the Initial Senior Notes, except that the Initial Exchange Notes are registered under the Securities Act and the transfer restrictions, registration rights, and additional interest provisions applicable to the Initial Senior Notes do not apply to the Initial Exchange Notes. In April 2015, we completed a private offering of an additional $60 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6.875% senior notes due 2022 (which we refer to as the “Additional Senior Notes”). In October 2015, we completed an offer to exchange $60.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6.875% senior notes due 2022, which are registered under the Securities Act (which we refer to as the “Additional Exchange Notes”), for all of the Additional Senior Notes. The terms of the Additional Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects to the Additional Senior Notes, except that the Additional Exchange Notes are registered under the Securities Act and the transfer restrictions, registration rights, and additional interest provisions applicable to the Additional Senior Notes do not apply to the Additional Exchange Notes. The Additional Senior Notes and the Additional Exchange Notes are additional notes issued under the indenture pursuant to which the Initial Senior Notes and Initial Exchange Notes were issued. The Initial Exchange Notes and the Additional Exchange Notes bear the same CUSIP number, are fungible with each other, and are treated as a single series of notes under the indenture. We refer to the Initial Exchange Notes and the Additional Exchange Notes, collectively, as the “Senior Notes.” The Senior Notes are our unsecured senior obligations, and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by substantially all of our direct and indirect wholly-owned operating subsidiaries (which we refer to as “Guarantors”). The Indenture governing the Senior Notes provides that the guarantees of a Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged: (1) upon any sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of all of the equity interests of such Guarantor after which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a “Restricted Subsidiary” (as defined in the Indenture), which sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition does not constitute an “Asset Sale” (as defined in the Indenture) or is made in compliance with applicable provisions of the Indenture; (2) upon any sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of all of the assets of such Guarantor, which sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition does not constitute an Asset Sale or is made in compliance with applicable provisions of the Indenture; provided, that after such sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition, such Guarantor is an “Immaterial Subsidiary” (as defined in the Indenture); (3) unless a default has occurred and is continuing, upon the release or discharge of such Guarantor from its guarantee of any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company and the Guarantors so long as such Guarantor would not then otherwise be required to provide a guarantee pursuant to the Indenture; provided that if such Guarantor has incurred any indebtedness in reliance on its status as a Guarantor in compliance with applicable provisions of the Indenture, such Guarantor’s obligations under such indebtedness, as the case may be, so incurred are satisfied in full and discharged or are otherwise permitted to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Guarantor) in compliance with applicable provisions of the Indenture; (4) upon the designation of such Guarantor as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” (as defined in the Indenture), in accordance with the Indenture; (5) if the Company exercises its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option under the Indenture or if the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors are discharged in compliance with applicable provisions of the Indenture, upon such exercise or discharge; or (6) in connection with the dissolution of such Guarantor under applicable law in accordance with the Indenture. As the guarantees were made in connection with the February 2015 exchange offer for the Initial Exchange Notes and the October 2015 exchange offer for the Additional Exchange Notes, the Guarantors’ condensed financial information is presented as if the guarantees existed during the periods presented. If any Guarantors are released from the guarantees in future periods, the changes are reflected prospectively. We have determined that separate, full financial statements of the Guarantors would not be material to investors and, accordingly, supplemental financial information is presented below:

Subsequent Events	16. Subsequent Events  On November 1, 2016 , we acquired a 50% ownership of WJH LLC (which we refer to as “WJH”), which is a successor to Wade Jurney Homes, Inc. and Wade Jurney of Florida, Inc. (which we refer to together as “Wade Jurney”) for $15.0 million. WJH primarily targets first-time homebuyers in the Southeastern United States. As a result of the transaction, we now own 50% of WJH and Wade Jurney owns t he other 50% interest. Each party contributed an additional $3.0 million in capital to WJH upon its formation. The Company and Wade Jurney will share responsibility for all of WJH ’s strategic decisions, with Wade Jurney continuing to manage the day - to - day operations under the existing operating model.

Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Century Communities, Inc. (which we refer to as “we,” “CCS” or the “Company”) is engaged in the development, design, construction, marketing and sale of single-family attached and detached homes in metropolitan areas in Colorado, Austin and San Antonio, Texas (which we refer to as “Central Texas”), Houston, Texas, Las Vegas, Nevada, Salt Lake City, Utah and Atlanta, Georgia. Our homebuilding operations are organized into the following six operating segments based on the geographic markets in which we operate: Atlanta, Central Texas, Colorado, Houston, Nevada, and Utah. In many of our projects, in addition to building homes, we are responsible for the entitlement and development of the underlying land. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (which we refer to as “GAAP”) for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (which we refer to as the “SEC”). In the o pinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and results of operations. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. The financial statements and related notes do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 that was filed with the SEC on February 19, 2016.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, as well as all subsidiaries in which we have a controlling interest, and variable interest entities for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable primarily consist of contract receivables related to certain contracts in our Central Texas and Houston operating segments accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method. We periodically review the collectability of our accounts receivables, and, if it is determined that a receivable might not be fully collectible, an allowance is recorded for the amount deemed uncollectible. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , no allowance was recorded related to accounts receivable.
Cash Held in Escrow	Cash Held in Escrow Cash held in escrow consists of amounts related to the proceeds from home closings held for our benefit in escrow, which are typically held for less than a few days.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications Prior period amounts related to the proceeds from home closings held for our benefit in escrow were previously classified in “Accounts receivable” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and have been reclassified as “Cash held in escrow.” The amount reclassified as of December 31, 2015 was $11.8 million.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (which we refer to as “FASB”) issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” and will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2018, including interim reporting periods within that period. Early adoption is permitted as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2015-14 will have on our consolidated financial statements. We do not intend to early adopt ASU 2015-14. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” ASU 2016-02 requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019 and interim periods within the annual periods. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements.  In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017 and interim periods within the annual periods. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-09 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.  In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows- Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” ASU 2016-15 consists of eight provisions that provide guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2017 . We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-15 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
