Frequently Asked Questions

The timeline for a custom home varies significantly based on the complexity, size, and design details of the project, but a general range is between ten to sixteen months from final design approval to certificate of occupancy. This timeframe includes phases for permitting, site work, foundation, framing, mechanical systems, interior finishes, and final inspections, all of which we outline in a detailed project schedule during the planning stage.

We establish a detailed, line-item budget during the planning phase based on finalized designs and selections, and we employ an open-book policy where you can review all costs. Any potential changes that arise are presented to you with a formal change order detailing the cost and schedule impact before any work proceeds, ensuring there are no financial surprises and you maintain full control over the budget.

Yes, we frequently collaborate with our clients' chosen architects and designers, as we believe a collaborative team yields the best results. We engage with them early in the process to review plans for constructability, cost-efficiency, and to ensure the design vision can be executed to our high standards of quality within the established budget.

We offer a comprehensive warranty that covers workmanship and materials for a period of one year from the date of completion, and we stand behind the major structural components of the home for a longer period as required by state law. Our commitment to service extends beyond the warranty period, as we value long-term relationships and want you to be completely satisfied with your home for years to come.

Your level of involvement is entirely up to you; we can manage the entire project with periodic updates for you, or we can have more frequent collaborative meetings if you wish to be deeply involved. We establish a preferred communication plan at the outset, ensuring you receive the information you want, when you want it, without being burdened by daily details unless you choose to be.
