The cost of a custom home depends on its size, design complexity, foundation, site conditions, permits, utilities, materials, finishes, and level of customization. We develop a project budget based on the actual scope of work instead of relying only on a generic price per square foot.

The construction schedule depends on the size and complexity of the home, design and permitting requirements, site conditions, material availability, weather, inspections, and approvals. After the plans and scope are developed, we can provide a more realistic project timeline.

We are happy to discuss working with professionals you already trust. Roles, responsibilities, pricing, scheduling, insurance, and communication should be clearly established before construction begins.

At the beginning of the project, we establish a communication process for updates, decisions, approvals, selections, change requests, and schedule information. Consistent communication helps keep the project organized and allows decisions to be made on time.

Warranty coverage and post-construction responsibilities are outlined in the construction agreement. Product and manufacturer warranties may also apply to specific materials, fixtures, appliances, and equipment.
