- Q
Do you do Free Estimates
-
O ur initial Complimentary Consultation is free of charge. This helps you (and us) to determine if we are a good fit to work together to build your home.
There are charges for all design, estimating, specifying and feasibility work beyond this point. This work is required in order to determine an accurate cost for your specific homebuilding project.
Our House Plan Estimation Fee is $500, and is applied to the cost of building your home when a contract to build together is signed. Also note that this $500 fee can be waived via the signing of a letter of intent to build prior to entering the house plan estimation phase.
- Q
What's the difference between an estimate and a price?
-
A n "Estimate" is just that, "an Estimate". It can change based on the amount of time passed before a solid contract is signed. We do our best to create estimates that are accurate and the same as the actual contract price. Usually changes in cost that would occur are due to material/labor cost fluctuations since the time of the estimate. Sometimes, when preparing an estimate, you, as the homeowner may not have a specific lot yet chosen. Again, we do our best to ensure the estimate is very close to the contract price, and usually if not much time has elapsed between the estimate and contract signing time, and the house plans and lot specifications are in full detail, the price is usually the same as the original estimate.
A "Price" is generally fixed (depending on your written agreement) and is usually based on more detailed information taken from a site visit, drawings, and detailed home plans. A hard building price requires a fixed set of specifications and scope of work, and therefore requires a great deal of "pre-planning" and designing. This method is the best in the way of price protection compared to that of an estimate, which typically includes less detail and no "hard" pricing.
- Q
How long will it take you to build my home?
-
R emember, good things take some time, and your home is not something you want to shortcut. Obviously, the answer to this question can vary greatly, based on the size of your home, however, 6-12 months is the range to expect. A more specific schedule estimate can be made after looking at your specific house plans.
Also keep in mind, much of the schedule depends on the layout of the land you are building on, the season of the year you begin the build of your home in, the size of your home, and the detail and structure of your house plans.
