Instead of giving you a "guesstimate"
over the phone, we take the time to see the property ourselves
and listen to your needs. When you consider the variables
of building, you can see how a square foot price cannot be
quoted
over the phone or given without specifics. Here are just a
few things that can affect the pricing of your bid:
- Do you
have a slope on your property? Drainage could be a problem
even on a property that is seemingly "flat."
- What type of soil do you
have? This determines what kind of preperation will
be necessary before building on it.
- Will your lot need blasting? Excavation is something many
don't consider in their original budgeting—be sure to include
it in yours if necessary.
- Will the lot need compaction? Some
soil will require alternative methods to prep it for
a quality foundation and sufficient drainage.
- Will you need well water on the property? If so, consider
how deep you will you need to drill.
Assumptions on your part or, worse, the person quoting your
project, is where most of the "horror" stories
of building come from. That's why we make sure
to consider every detail when bidding a project so that you
can get an accurate, fair estimation of the money you'll be
investing in your project.
Communication is what your project needs. . . not assumptions.
