Our goal is to design and build the project that fits your needs, desires and lifestyle.
The design contract
We’ll work with the architect you already have, or develop your blueprints with one of our architects. Or choose one of our existing home plans and we’ll completely customize it for you. We’ll provide the budget and you make your selections.
House Plan
We use our H.I.S. Construction Planning Guide to map out your requirements (your family’s needs, lot size, number of floors, amenities, adjacencies, architecture style, etc.) With this information in mind, we will present several base home plans. After choosing your base house plan, we work together with one of our architects and team of interior designers to create plans for a custom home that matches your exact needs and desires.
Already have a house plan? Perfect. Many of the homes we build are designed by our client’s architect. Together, we will work with our Design Consultants to ensure we have a solid specifications list, to accurately price your custom home.
Budget
We’ll help you establish a budget that is within your means, while at the same time satisfying the goals and dreams you have in mind. Our goal is to ensure that you have no cost surprises during the process. Therefore, we will not lure you into working with H.I.S. Construction with a low base price, only to sticker shock you at the end by charging for items you assumed to be standard.
Financing
We help you navigate construction loans, including how and when construction fees are paid. We have lenders we’ve worked with many times who have solid processes in place to protect you from worries so you can enjoy watching your home take shape.
To begin work on your home, H.I.S. Construction requires a design fee of $5,000 – $15,000. The design fee depends on the use of existing H.I.S. Construction plans and complexity of modification.
With custom home plan in hand, we require a $10,000 deposit that goes towards the cost of your home. This covers the initial cost of the Survey/Civil Engineering, Architectural Engineer, and Design Consultant.
We have several lenders that we can recommend or you can secure your own financing.
Construction
Our craftsmanship is above industry standards and code … but not above your budget.
Project Mangement
When working with H.I.S. Construction, your custom home will already include what are considered premium upgrades to other builders. With Co-construct, you will be able to choose from high-quality products that are within your established budget. If you choose to go with a product that is not listed on the site or within the parameters, we will credit you and you only pay the cost difference, which in some cases may be a credit to you. We guarantee that you will not be able to find the products we are offering, for less.
No matter what stage of the home design process you are in, we are happy to answer any questions and offer our advice on the best course of action as you plan your dream home and watch it being built.
