We have purchased a lot and we want to start the building process,
but are not sure where to begin. Can Far Star Inc help us ‘get the ball
rolling’?
YES! We will review your
building site and help you determine the best location for your home
and can steer you to a workable home design. We specialize in mountain
construction and are very experienced in making a ‘difficult site’ work
for the purpose of placing your home to capture views and sunshine.
We have a good working knowledge of the local municipalities and will
make the procurement process easy for you.
We want to begin the building process but have no idea what it will
cost. Can Far Star Inc help us put together a budget?
YES! We will start by reviewing
your situation and give you some ‘rules of thumb’ pricing for all the
aspects of your project. We base this pricing on industry standards
and our years of experience. If you feel the budget we propose is close
to what you expect to spend, we will prepare a firm bid based on the
plans you or our associates provide. The firm bid will be on a time
and cost basis and we will give you an estimate of what time and costs
will be. The cost of a portion of the bid will be deducted from the
project cost should you choose to have us build it.
How do we pick from the many Home Builders and Contractors out there?
How do we avoid the ‘shysters’ we hear so much about?
REFERENCES, REFERENCES, REFERENCES!
You can only make an intelligent choice based on your ‘gut feeling’
and comfort level with a builder, combined with references. You should
talk with at least three randomly selected references and ask questions
like, “Did they do what they said they would and when they said they
would?” Also ask if they handled unexpected circumstances in a calm,
friendly, professional manor. Things DO go wrong on a 6 to 8 month project
and you want to be sure your builder can ‘think on his feet’ and solve
problems as they occur.
