Review Your Pricing Agreement and Build Price

Once your home plan and site costs are finalized, the next step is reviewing your complete build proposal. This document outlines the base price of your home, any chosen upgrades, and the site-specific costs unique to your property. It’s the foundation of your financial agreement, so it’s important to take the time to review it thoroughly.

During this stage, make sure you clearly understand:

• What’s included in the base price (standard features, finishes, and allowances).
• Which items are upgrades and how they impact your budget.
• Site-related costs, such as grading, utilities, or special foundation work.
• Builder fees, permits, and contingency allowances for unexpected issues.

Questions to Ask Before You Sign

• Does the agreement detail all finishes, fixtures, and allowances?
• Are upgrades clearly itemized with their costs?
• How are change orders handled if I decide to adjust features later?
• What happens if site costs exceed the initial estimate?
• Are warranty details, timelines, and payment schedules explained?

By carefully reviewing your pricing agreement, you’ll ensure there are no surprises down the road and gain peace of mind knowing exactly what your investment covers.
