Absolutely. We recommend working with one of our draftsman to draw a design that meets your budget and needs. This can be one of the most difficult and intimidating parts of the process, but we will help you and the draftsman balance your desires and budget.

Absolutely. We have an in-house realtor that knows of most available lots in our area. Even those that are not listed in a traditional manner.

Our most dreaded question out there. No one calculates cost per square foot the same making this the most unreliable way of comparing pricing. Every home is different, just like every dream is. Part of the reason we spend so much time helping with your initial budget is because we want clients to understand the cost of the home well in advance of starting construction. There is no ‘dollar per square foot’ calculation that represents every home, but if we work together, there will be a budget in place that you can count on

The house plans and design phase can take 4-6 weeks depending on how decisive you can be. The permits and financing stage typically takes 10-15 weeks. The construction process take 4-6 months from the time we excavate to final inspections. This all depends on time of year and size of home. Homes over 6000 sq. feet typically take an extra 6 weeks per 1000 square feet finished.

Absolutely. The architectural/design process is essential to developing an appropriate budget and we are happy to meet with your architect throughout their work or if they are finished we can add input if desired. This allows us to work with the architect to ensure budget and construction viability. We do not charge for this assistance.

Every project is different and its needs will change through the construction process. There may be times when we are briefly on site and other times when you’re convinced we live there. We will inspect each home daily, communicate with the sub contractors and suppliers about their scheduled work and then relay updates to you as is appropriate. We do suggest a weekly meeting with each homeowner to discuss progress, concerns, budget and upcoming events that require your input. If that meeting can’t be in person, we are happy to use Skype/Facetime or other conference technologies to assist with out-of-state clients or when you’re on vacation.

Like draftsman, we have a number of lenders we prefer to work with. These are financial professionals we’ve utilized in the past and prefer to work with currently due to their ability to assist with timely financial options that satisfy most clients. We are happy to lend our input on a perspective lender and if you have a preferred mortgage company, we will be happy to work with most local lenders.

What good would it do for either of us, if after working together through out the process to create a wonderful home, didn’t help protect it by guaranteeing its quality? To that end, we offer an 12-month warranty on all craftsmanship.  If something isn’t done right the first time, we will ensure that it’s fixed when brought to our attention. We employ the best sub contractors and suppliers in the state to make sure your home is of the highest quality possible. There are occasions when manufacturers also warranty a product for longer than our involvement, but even then, we are happy to assist with any problems that may arise. We’re committed to you.
