FAQ
Do I have to use your existing plans or can I bring my own?
We are proud custom home builders. That means we welcome your ideas and creativity when it comes to the design of your house plans! We do have a large selection to choose from if you would like existing plans, but invite you to go as custom as you wish in designing your floor plan!
What is the allowance like for finishes?
When quoting a build and coming up with the contract price, we take into consideration all of the details and specifications listed on your particular plan. If there are no special instructions on the plans or from you at the beginning of the process, we will calculate an allowance based on our standard finishes.
Am I stuck with your standard finishes or am I able to upgrade?
Although we come up with a contract price based on our standard finishes (unless otherwise noted), you are welcome to upgrade any of the finishes you wish. If this is decided after a contract price has been determined and signed off on, you will simply pay the difference between our standard allowance and the cost for the upgrade out of pocket.
Can I do any work myself?
One of our favorite opportunities we offer our homeowners is the ability to do some work yourself if you wish. This could save you money! If you choose to do work yourself for some things, we will simply give a check made out to you in the amount saved (based on original allowance). Another option is to put that money toward an upgrade somewhere else!
Can I choose some of the subcontractors myself?
We allow you to bring in any subcontractor you wish to do work in your home (as long as they have general liability and workers' comp insurance). We will get the quote from your subcontractor, compare it to the quote from ours, and if yours is cheaper, we will cut you a check for the difference! If ours is cheaper, you will be responsible for paying for them out of pocket!
What is the first step in building a home?
The very first step would be to look for land and choose plans! Once you do both of these things, a contract will be drawn up and we will get moving!
