FAQs

‍

As you are dreaming about your new home you may have more questions than answers. Let our years of experience give you direction to get started and confidence that your dreams can become a reality.

Below you will find answers to the most common questions. As you read, you may find more questions forming in your mind. Please use our contact form to ask us directly. We would love to provide specific answers to help you take the next step toward your new home.

1. I'm afraid of going over budget.  Is my budget realistic?

Having a firm idea of your budget is an important ingredient to the planning stages of your project. Our experience will be able to guide you toward home plans and finish choices that will stay within your budget.

‍

We offer complimentary on-site meetings at the land you own or are strongly considering purchasing, to advise you about potential excavation costs specific to your location. A member of our team will also accompany you to your meeting with the designer, free of charge, to advise you on cost considerations as you draw up preliminary plans. When the preliminary plans are done, we will provide a detailed Project Proposal for your consideration.

‍

This proposal will include a total cost of construction detailed out into categories. Most of the costs are firm numbers, but some numbers are allowances for things you will choose.  Allowances can increase or decrease the cost of construction and most are under your control (kitchen cabinets, counter tops, appliances, flooring, built-ins, etc.).  Some allowances are not under your control(excavation, drainage, etc.) and are based on actual costs that are not fully known until completed.  We use the knowledge gained from a wide variety of projects to make the allowance fit the possibilities for your project.

‍

Our desire is to build a dream home for our customers that they can comfortably afford. Our experience will guide your choices during the design phase to ensure your project fits within your budget.

• When do selections need to be made?

Selections are made with our design team prior to the startof construction. During this phase, you will work closely with our interiordesigners to create spaces that reflect your style and functional needs. Using3D design tools, you’ll be able to visualize your home and finalize selections fromoverall design concepts to the smallest finishing details.

• Can I trust you?

Please take the time to read comments from our past customers.

• How long does the building process take?

The design and pricing stage typically takes about two months. When this is done your project will be added to our building schedule. The time between excavation and move in day averages five and a half to six months depending on the complexity of the project.

• How many homes do you typically work on at a time?

We normally have three to four homes in process at one time.  They are all at different phases of construction, so there is no disruption to any project's schedule.  One home might be in the framing stage, while the other is being dry walled, and the third one is being painted.

• Do you provide a warranty?

Yes.  Our warranty covers the correction of defects in the construction and/or the materials we provide during the construction of the home for all phases that were completed or subcontracted by our company.

All new homes go through a period of settlement and movement during the first year-long cycle through the seasons.  During this period, the new home may experience some minor material shrinkage, cracking and other events, which are unavoidable and considered normal.  We will come back to repair nail pops, drywall cracks and other visible signs of settlement one time during the warranty period.

Our warranty does not cover manufactured items such as appliances, fixtures, equipment or any other items which are covered by a manufacturer’s warranty. Our warranty does not cover weather related damages, natural wear-out, or defects that arise from lack of maintenance.
