As a homeowner, where should I begin the process?
- Select pictures from magazines, drawings, books, internet, etc.
- Download and save floor plans from the internet.
- Make changes as per desired layouts.
- From there, we will help you design your dream home.
Do I need an Architect or Drafting Person?
- During our initial one-on-one consultation, we can discuss which one best suits your particular design.
Do you have an Interior Designer?
- Yes, upon clients’ requests, we do have an interior decorator to consult with.
Are you as a builder involved in the design?
- Yes, I can help the Architect or Drafting Person and give them my thoughts of how the home will be positioned on the site.
- Water drainage must be discussed from the beginning.
Do you foresee any water problems?
- I always look at the lot prior to our initial consultation.
- If I foresee a potential water-issue, I will discuss it with you and tell you how I will address it.
What about Exterior Elevations?
- While the floor plan is being drawn, you should be thinking about what you want and desire on the exterior.
- It’s a good idea to discuss pricing of different amenities with the builder upfront so you have an idea of what they will cost.
Do you have a specific price per square foot?
- I custom build your home so until I know what amenities you desire, it’s difficult to give an exact price.
- At our initial one-on-one consultation, I will give you pricing on different amenities.
- Once I get your final plans, I will get bids from all sub-contractors and suppliers.
What all does your bid include?
- Our bid includes everything from start to finish. From permitting until we turn-key on the finished product.
- We will guide you through the whole process.
When were finished, what about the small issues?
- Every project has what we call a punch list.
- I am always available to address those issues and coordinate them with the proper sub-contractor to achieve satisfaction.
How can we find out more about you as a builder?
- Talk to the local people around Hot Springs Village and check with homeowners that we have built for in the past.
- You will find that Gerald Ellison Construction Co., Inc. has a very solid reputation for standing behind his quality homes.
- Also check with the Local Architectural Control Committee office for homes permitted within the last 6 months to 1 year.
- Make sure that your builder is active.
What about warranties?
- Gerald Ellison Construction Co., Inc. has one of the best reputations for warranty work.
- We will discuss this in detail at our initial one-on-one consultation.
