The pricing process
We keep you informed and in full control from the beginning to the end.
Free estimate
It starts with a free initial estimate that is based on our experience building hundreds of homes. This instant ballpark estimate includes assumptions on necessary site work.
Villa Feasibility Study
Next is our Feasibility Study, which includes a detailed review of your site’s specific requirements. It’s an easy first step that gives you all the information you need to move forward with your project—confidently!
Project Services Agreement (PSA)
This agreement includes a fine-tuned budget range based on everything we learned in your Feasibility Study, plus your chosen upgrades. Once you’ve signed, we’ll get started on permits and sub-contractor bids.
Authorization to Build (ATB)
You’ll be presented with a final total project cost during this step. This pricing takes into account any new information uncovered during the permitting and sub-contracting phase and, unlike traditional stick building, aims to prevent any big pricing surprises after your build begins.
