We already have our own floor plan. Do we have to use one of your floor plans?
If you have your own floor plan, we can work with it. We can also work with you and the architect or draftsman to customize one of our floor plans.
How do we get started building or remodeling with you?
As a general policy, we require that you sign a letter of agreement confirming that you plan on building or remodeling with us. At that time we will also require a fully applicable, but non refundable $5,000.00 deposit, which will be taken out of the overall contracted price of the project.
Why do you require such a large deposit?
We require the deposit because we want both the client and Cherry Ridge to get serious about the construction plans in order to move forward. The deposit will be allocated towards architectural drawings, plans, designing, bidding the job to subs, and time spent with the client during the first initial stages of construction. Keep in mind that about half of the construction process is preliminary planning and designing, all of which occurs before physical construction even begins. We feel that the deposit protects both the homeowner and Cherry Ridge.
