FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

What is your cost per square foot?

The cost varies from home to home and is difficult to answer until we determine the scope of your project. Many factors such as the style of home, amenities, types of finishes, site work, etc, can all affect the cost of your home.
 

Can you build on our lot?

We can build on your lot, one of our lots or, as a licensed Real Estate Broker, we can assist you in finding a suitable lot.
 

How long will it take to build our home?

This can vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. On average, our homes take 6-8 months to complete.
 

Do we need an architect?

We can work with plans you already have or, depending on the complexity of the project, determine whether or not you will need an architect, interior designer, etc. In most cases we design our own plans which allows us to build the home to our quality building methods.
 

What type of contract options do you offer?

The following types can be discussed to see which fits your needs best:
1. Fixed Price - the price for the project is set at contract signing and based on agreed upon plans & specs. The price can be changed during construction through written change orders.
2. Cost Plus - is a percentage based contract where the Builder's fee is a percentage of the actual cost of construction (land not included).
3. Fixed Fee - the Builder's fee is established upfront based on expected cost of construction. The fee does not vary except through written change orders for changes made to the original plans & specs.
 

Do we need an Attorney?

Yes, once contracts are drawn up, you will have a chance to review them with your attorney before signing them.
