Services Offered By South Coast Home Builders, Inc.
Many builders offer to provide “free estimates”. But, let’s take a minute and evaluate this. Something that is free is generally not worth much. Remember the old saying “you get what you pay for”. Estimating correctly requires a lot of experience and takes hours and hours if it is to be done accurately. In fact on a custom home, you should expect your builder to spend between 80 and 120 hours depending on the size and scope of work for the project. For a small fee of the anticipated cost of the project, we can initiate and develop the following services before either of us commit to building your custom dream home.
Please Note: Should you choose South Coast as your builder, this fee will be credited against the total contractor’s fee for building your new residence.
