Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it typically take to build a custom home in McMinnville?
Construction timelines vary based on home size and complexity, but most custom homes take 4-8 months to complete. Modular homes can be finished in 2-4 months, while luxury custom homes may take 8-12 months. Weather, permit processing, and design complexity all affect the timeline.
What’s the difference between design-build and traditional construction?
Design-build means one company handles both design and construction, providing a single point of contact and streamlined communication. Traditional construction involves separate architects and builders, which can lead to miscommunication and longer timelines.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes! We handle all permit applications, coordinate required inspections, and ensure your home meets all local building codes and safety standards. Our local expertise helps expedite the permit process.
Can I make changes during construction?
Absolutely! We encourage client involvement throughout the process. While major structural changes become more expensive once construction begins, we work with you to accommodate reasonable modifications to ensure your complete satisfaction.
What’s included in your construction warranty?
We provide comprehensive warranties covering structural elements, systems, and workmanship. Specific warranty terms vary by project type, and we’ll discuss all warranty details during your initial consultation.
How do you handle cost overruns?
We provide detailed, accurate estimates upfront and maintain transparent communication about any potential changes. Our project management system helps prevent surprise costs, and we always get your approval before any significant modifications.
Do you build on sloped or challenging lots?
Yes! We have extensive experience with challenging building sites, including sloped lots, areas with poor drainage, and unique terrain features. Our team can assess your lot and provide solutions that work with the natural landscape.
What financing options are available for custom home construction?
While we don’t provide financing directly, we work with several local lenders who specialize in construction loans. We can provide referrals and help you understand the construction-to-permanent loan process.
