To select the right builder for your project, you may want to interview several of them. Look at some of the houses they have built, and talk with their past and present clients to get a feel for their capabilities and their working style. It is a good idea to select a builder you feel comfortable with so that you can establish a good working relationship. Many clients find a builder because they just seem to “click.” We will be pleased to meet you and to help you in the process.

Yes. Budget needs to be discussed very early in the planning of the project. It is a good idea to determine how much you would like to invest in your project before you meet with the builder. We create a detailed specification list based on your budget, your ideas and your goals. We take your goals and dreams very seriously and attempt to help you achieve them within your budget. We strive to give you the best house that your money can buy. We have worked with clients with very different budgets and every single one is amazed by the house that we were able to create and build.

It is very difficult, if not impossible, to describe a home by the square foot, as there are so many factors that need to be considered; for example, unfinished space (basements and garages), vaulted spaces, covered porches, patios, garages, decks, etc. that are not typically included in “square footage”. We are currently working with a measurement known as “Factored Square Foot”. Please come back to visit this link to help explain this measurement and the related cost.

Ideally, you want to contact us as early as possible in the process, just after you have found the land you would like to buy, but before you purchase it.

Clients can also come to us after they have purchased land and we will help with a house design to fit the site. Lastly, clients come to us with purchased land and complete plans. We are always flexible to your specific situation.
