Client FAQs

  • Q: How much will it cost to build a new home or remodel my home?

    A: The cost of building a new home or remodeling an existing home is influenced by several factors. These include the size and layout of the house, the quality of materials used, the location of the property, and any customization or additional features you desire. To provide you with budgetary guidance, we offer a free consultation where we discuss your needs, assess the project requirements, and provide a range of costs based on our experience and the pricing of past projects.

  • Q: How long does the construction process take?

    A: The duration of the construction process varies depending on the complexity and scale of the project. Building a residential home typically takes anywhere from 6 to 12 months, but this can vary. Factors that influence the timeline include the size of the house, the weather conditions during construction, the availability of materials, and any unforeseen challenges that may arise. During our initial consultation, we evaluate your specific project and provide a more precise timeline based on its unique characteristics.

  • Q: How is budgeting conducted during the preconstruction phase, and what factors are considered in this process?

    A: Budgeting during the preconstruction phase involves estimating all of the costs associated with the construction project. This includes identifying the costs of materials, labor, permits, and any other expenses that may arise during the construction process. Factors considered in this process typically include the size and complexity of the project, the site conditions, and any special features or materials that the building owner may want to include.

  • Q: What kind of warranty do you offer on your construction work?

    A: We believe in the quality and durability of our construction work. As a result, we offer a warranty on our residential construction projects. The specific warranty period may vary depending on the scope and nature of the project. During our initial consultation, we will provide you with the details of our warranty coverage, including what aspects are covered and for how long. This warranty ensures that you can have peace of mind knowing that any potential issues related to our work will be addressed promptly.

  • Q: What is the first step in the construction process?

    A: After we have had our first conversations and determine we are a “good fit” we enter into an agreement called the Preconstruction Services Agreement (PSA). That is the first step with starting your construction project.

  • Q: What is preconstruction, and why is it an important part of the residential home construction process?

    A: The Preconstruction Process is one of the most important keystones that support “Our Process for Success”. Preconstruction is the phase of a residential home construction project that takes place before actual construction begins. It encompasses all the planning and preparation work that is done in advance of the construction phase (e.g. site analysis, creating plans, making all selections, budgeting, and permitting) Pre-construction is important because it helps ensure that the project is planned and designed in the most efficient and effective way possible, minimizing risks and maximizing the chances of success.

  • Q: What are the goals of preconstruction, and how do they contribute to the overall success of the project?

    A: The primary goals of preconstruction are to identify potential issues and challenges that could impact the construction project, to develop a comprehensive plan that outlines all aspects of the construction process, and to create a budget and schedule that align with the building owner's goals and objectives. By achieving these goals, the preconstruction phase can help ensure that the project is completed on time, within budget, and to the building owner's specifications.

  • Q: How are payments scheduled for the construction project?

    A: Depending on the size of the project we either request payments on the completion of specific milestones or we will bill monthly based on a percentage of completion of each of the specific line items. These terms will be clearly specified in our Construction Agreement.
