Our Massachusetts Home Building Process

1.  I will conduct a preliminary interview to discuss what type of home you want. This discussion will include family and lifestyle considerations, size requirements, special amenities, exterior and interior finishes, lot requirements, and budget. I will schedule additional meetings as necessary.

2.  From these discussions, I will develop a set of preliminary plans, and a preliminary cost estimate. Our building staff will devote up to 5 hours at no charge to generate this information. I hold a valid Builders License and an HIC-(Home Improvement Contractor) License in Massachusetts and use our sophisticated computer-aided design package to create home plans. [I am not an architect or professional home designer but have gained proficiency through years of "hands-on" framing; roofing, siding and interior finish woodwork experience] Should your plans require professional services for design/structural requirements I will advise you and assist in finding the services required.

3.  After my presentation to you of the preliminary information, I will discuss concerns, modifications, suggestions and options. If you desire to move forward in the design process and want to create an initial set of working plans, I ask for an $800 deposit. This deposit will enable up to 10 additional hours of design time to refine the plan and prepare a final cost estimate. Any additional time required to finalize plan changes will be billed at $75 per hour.

4.  I will develop a detailed written contract, which describes our building process, details specifications and allowances, and clearly enumerates the responsibilities of all parties. 3-dimensional images of the home will be generated, bringing the plan to life, and showing what the finished home will look like.

5.  The following documents are a part of our contract with the buyer and I review these documents in detail with you before you sign a contract:     

House Plans, Building Contract, Specifications and Allowances Sheet, Builder's Warranty

6.  Throughout the Massachusetts home building process, I encourage you to participate and visit the work site. If you have any questions, call me. I am typically reachable from 6:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. - I want your input. While I hope that I have thought of everything up front, you may change your mind. I would be happy to make changes to meet your wishes. The process for making changes is spelled out in detail in the Building Contract.

7.  Once you move in, I am with you throughout the warranty period. It is our job to make sure you are happy with your new home and if you are not satisfied, I am not satisfied.

You have a big choice to make. It is going to be your dream home. Make the right choice with VBuilt Custom Homes.
