Can you build from my floor plan?
PostDateIcon Posted: April 6th, 2011

Yes, but floor plans are not created equally. There is a level of completeness in specification and detail that is required to develop a realistic budget and accurately translate your desires to the craftsmen that actually build your home. Bidding an incomplete floor plan with no written specifications leaves the choice of methods and materials open to wide interpretation, with the contractor usually selecting what suits him best, not you.

Product and equipment warranties received by the builder are fully transferred to the customer. All work shall be performed in accordance with the “Residential Construction Performance Guidelines” which are published by the National Association of Home Builders.

PostDateIcon Posted: April 6th, 2011

The purpose of our initial meeting is to define your needs, determine the scope of work to be done and determine if we are a good “fit” for each other. This meeting is at no cost or obligation to you. Be prepared to list your needs in order of priority. In the case of a remodeling project, tell us what you like about your home, what you want to improve, and your style preferences. Don’t be afraid to show us your notebook of sketches and magazine clippings. We will also need to discuss budget and schedule. Read More »

Insights from Sam
PostDateIcon Posted: April 6th, 2011

Sam takes off his sales person hat and wears that or a consultat to give you advice on how to approach selecting your builder or remodeler.

  • As a customer, you should select your builder by more criteria than price alone.
  • For an “apples to apples” price comparison, the job must have a complete set of drawings and written specifications of the customer’s design details and selections. Read More »
