ALMOST DINNER TIME!

The first thing to do is to pick out your location. Maybe you already have land or are in the land buying process. If you need our assistance we have people and resources to help you find the ideal piece of property for you. If financing is going to be required we can assist you in this as well. We work with local lenders to make this construction phase painless and cost effective.

Bring your design ideas to the meeting. If you don't have any that's okay, we can get you pointed in the direction to your ideal home design. After a rough design is achieved then it is time to figure out some additional features you may need or want, like a garage, or that whirlpool tub!

After an initial design meeting we can give you some very budgetary costs on your project. This is easily achieved after you have decided on land and we can look at your site. A septic plan where required, swith a plot plan is critical, and required by all towns. We can get this done for you.

After the major issues are resolved it is time to get specific. Heating systems, electrical, and finishing options are explained and defined with your needs and wants placed first. Finishing features, colors and materials are what turn a house into your home. Emphasis is placed on this when you are ready to make decisions, and this is when your home planning really starts to take shape. This design phase may take as little as a couple of appointments or as mazny as you need.  Fill out a Scope of Work Sheet  to get a better idea of all the steps.

A scope sheet will give you a list of all the required services. We will also give you a fixed cost price sheet on your home with all of the options listed and priced. This allows you to make decisions on your terms, and based on your budget.

We can assist you in your site layout. We will get a soils test for you, and help layout your site for optimal house location. Maybe a daylight basement will work, or a well placed bulkhead will work better for you.

Septic systems, and drilled wells are the normal situation for most of our rural locations, but tapping into existing public water and sewer is easily dealt with also.

SAME HOUSE 6 WEEKS LATER!

A well thought out driveway will enhance your site and make access a pleasure instead of a hassle. Tie this into a nice garage of any size and you have convenience and safety for you and your vehicles.
