Why Pre-Construction Process?
The Pre-Construction and the Construction Phases of a Custom Home are two complete separate phases. Building a Custom Home is one of the most exciting and rewarding investments you can make, but it’s also a complex process that requires careful planning. A Custom Home Construction Timeline can vary depending on many factors like Size, Lot Shape, Design, and how long it takes home owners to make decisions. We have done this before and have found that we need to be involved in the pre-construction process to ensure a smooth build timeline. We have the ability and expertise to secure your building lot, Architectural Drawings, Landscape Drawings, Structural Engineering, Exterior and interior Design, and all selections needed for your project.
This process is needed for a Custom Home as all lots, selections, and needs are different on every build. Going through the Pre-Construction Process gives us real time information to avoid redesigning during construction to try to fit estimated budgets and timing. The Pre-Construction Process gives accurate financial data early and accurate scheduling dates early. There is no way for us to provide an accurate budget and accurate timeline if we don’t have an accurate plan for what we are building.
This process takes a lot of time that we need to dedicate to your project and for this reason we charge for our pre-construction services and expertise. A Custom Home can also be a roller coaster of an experience with many exciting stages. There will also be many problem-solving events and challenges throughout the construction phase of your project. The pre-construction phase helps us get ahead of many of these issues from the start. There is no obligation to build with us by using our pre-construction services. At the end of the pre-construction phase you will have the pieces necessary to move forward with your project whether that is with us or another builder. If you decide to continue the construction phase with us a portion of your pre-construction fee will count towards your Build Fee Costs.
