Before you call
Questions we get asked in the first meeting
If yours is not here, ask it on the phone. We would rather answer it now than have it turn into a change order in month five.
Ask us directlyPlan on four to six months for design, engineering and permits, then seven to eleven months on site depending on size and finish level. We give you a dated schedule before contract and update it every Friday.
Yes, and we will walk it with you before anything is signed. Setbacks, soil, drainage and utility runs decide more about the final cost than the floor plan does.
You get a written change order with the cost and the schedule impact before any work happens. Nothing gets built on a verbal, and nothing appears on the invoice that you have not signed.
We do. Drawings, engineering, submissions, fees and every inspection through to the certificate of occupancy are ours to chase. You sign the application, we do the queuing.
Your lender pays in draws as work completes rather than in one lump. We build the draw schedule into the contract, submit the inspection paperwork at each stage and hand over signed lien waivers from every trade before the money is released. We can introduce you to three local lenders who do this regularly.
Often. Bring us in during design development and we will price as the drawings evolve, so you find out what a detail costs while it is still cheap to change.
Foundation, framing and roof structure, in writing, on every home we build. Workmanship on everything else is covered for two years, and we schedule a callback at eleven months to fix whatever has settled inside the first warranty year.
Around twenty, and that is a deliberate ceiling rather than a limit we are trying to break. It is the number our own crews can frame, roof and finish without handing your job to whoever happens to be free that week.
Have a plot, a plan or just a rough number in mind?
Tell us where you are up to and we will tell you honestly what it takes to build it.
