New Home
Steps to your new home
Aaron provides the information you need to arrange for financing and updates it as necessary during the construction process.  You always have the latest information when you need it whether it is to determine financing decisions, or if aunt Sarah's oak desk will fit properly in the den.

Step 1:   The Initial Interview
In an initial interview Aaron will go over with you what you want in a new home and from that can develop a rough design concept with an estimate of the square footage of your dream home.  This will give a good idea of how this dream home fits within your budget.   No fee is charged for this initial interview, or the site visit.

Step 2:   The Site Visit
Before detailed plans can be developed, a site visit is scheduled to determine the optimum style of home and the location on the lot to minimize the cost or meet your aesthetic taste. From the initial interview and site visit you will have the required information to contact your bank or lending agency for initial arrangements for financing.

Step 3:  Plan Design
Aaron will use Soft Plan drafting software to develop house floor plans and elevations.  Typically he draws all the homes he builds because this means that the home will be drawn the same way he builds them.  Many commercial plan sets have mistakes and errors in construction that Aaron corrects when he draws them.  

Step 4:   Plan Fees / Deposit
The typical charge for plan design is $0.30 per Heated and Cooled square foot to draw a house plan.  When Aaron builds the home, he credits the owner back the money paid to develop the plans. So basically this service is provided free if he builds your new home or at a charge if you just want him to do the design.
Step 5:  Detailed Estimates
Aaron performs a very detailed estimate of your homes actual costs to give you the best value possible, avoid surprises, and facilitate value engineering.  This helps to take the guesswork and unanticipated changes out of the process so the construction experience is a pleasant one.  

Step 6:   Detailed Contracts
Using the same standard 16 divisions of construction that commercial architects use in their specifications, Aaron provides a vary detailed contract that contains exact specifications of your new home.  In the contract, clear allowances are given for fixtures and appliances to be purchased as well as details of construction materials and practices.


Step 7:  Addendum's
As constructions progresses there are typically changes, selections, and clarifications to the original contract.  These are handled in addendums typed up as need arises.  This is a great asset to clear communication and avoiding misunderstandings as well as reliance on memory for either party.  Aaron's ultimate goal is always the satisfaction of the owner because he is dependent on your recommendation for his next job.

Step 8:   Service
After construction is complete and you move into your new home, Aaron and his sub contractors will be still around to give you the same high quality of service you received during the construction process.  Aaron has deep roots in the local community and a strong history of integrity that runs deep in this community and his family.  That name is built on a high quality product and service after the sale.  Aaron has every intention of passing on to his children the same fine reputation his father and grandfather passed on to him.
