Pre-Design and Product Definition
The first step is to define the home that will be designed and priced.
During this first step, we will listen as you described your new home and review any information you may already have. You may want to design a uniquely original plan incorporating your own ideas. Or you may already have a plan in mind - a Chuck Miller Construction Inc. Standard Plan or, perhaps, one that you saw in a plan book or magazine.
If the design of your new home is to be derived from a stock plan you saw in a plan book or magazine, you will need to purchase a license to build based on the design from the copyright owner. We can assist you in doing so.
We will establish a target budget taking into consideration lot cost, construction cost, soft costs, such as permits and fees, insurance, real estate commissions, appraisals, title insurance, closing costs, financing costs, and the our overhead and profit.
We will review your building lot, including covenants, conditions, and restrictions, design guidelines, and a field visit as required, to determine site specific requirements and constraints associated with building the home on the lot. Or, if you haven't selected a lot, we will assist you in screening potential lots and obtaining information on lots for sale in your desired location and price range.
We will also provide you with information on construction and permanent financing and, if you desire, assist you in making contact with lending institutions.
Finally, we will establish a timetable for completion of design and pricing and determine what additional information you need to provide.
