Our contracts will include a scope of work, finish specifications and a payment/timeline schedule. Once we agree on a concept plan, finishes and pricing, we ask for a 10% deposit to start the construction plans and 10% upon building department submittal with balance of payments based on completion of milestones . We provide a new home checklist to all clients that detail when we need owner onsite approval for room layout, window/door locations, electrical/AC/plumbing locations, etc.
