At this point you have assembled your dream team, finalized your budget, and received final working drawings for your new home, it is time for final contract pricing. We will do complete takeoff plans, showing you all options and features, that are included in your new home. These drawings will include structural material selections, finishing material selections, and any allowance options for items that are not selected at this time. These working takeoffs sometimes have more detail and more pages than your actual architectural drawings.
Financing, Approvals, & Permits
Our responsibility as your builder will be to send all necessary documentation to your financial institution with the executed contract for bank construction funding. During this time, we will also handle all of the paperwork and red tape before we break ground.
