Q: How long have you been in business?
A: 9 years (spring of 2015)
Q: How many homes do you typically build in a year?
A: We average 20-30 homes each year
Q: What price range of homes do you typically build?
A: $350,000-$3 million! (the lower end would be our townhome products)
Q: Do you have a minimum build price for customs? If so, what?
A: It’s best to consider a minimum of $400,000 for a home without the lot.
Q: What style of homes do you consider your specialty?
A: Our buyers’ style is reflected in our builds, from very modern, to full on farmhouse, and everything in between: we customize the home just for our buyers! We build your custom home, with your custom price! We are a cost-plus builder, so we are very transparent about pricing throughout the build process. We bid each home specific to our buyers’ selections.
Q: Do you use hired contractors or do you have paid employees on staff?
A: Hired contractors, though we have site supervisors in the field who may swing a hammer once in a while too!
Q: Who carries the construction loan?
A: This depends on who owns the lot! If we own the lot, we will carry the loan. If the buyer owns the property, typically, they will carry the loan.
Q: Do you have spec plans to start from?
A: We have a few plans on our website but customize each plan for our buyers. We can start some scribbles on a napkin, use ideas from Pinterest or other home inspiration sites, or start from one of our stock plans.
Q: How long does it typically take to build a custom home?
A: It’s smart to estimate about 5-7 months for the build time from dig to closing. We usually need about 30-60 days before that to design the home, make selections, finalize bids, and collect permits!
Q: Are you fully licensed and insured?
A: Yep!
Q: Any promotions/incentives?
A: We’re open to offers on our market homes
