Managing the "Change Order" Trap

The Real Cost of Indecision Mid-build changes are the #1 reason budgets spiral out of control and timelines fall apart. What looks like a small tweak on paper often requires a cascade of structural, electrical, or plumbing adjustments that catch clients off guard.

The Power of the Pre-Build Phase We don't believe in "figuring it out as we go." Because we are the builders, we spend more time in the initial design phase to lock in every technical detail before the first hammer swings. This meticulous planning is what keeps your project on track and your costs fixed.

Avoiding the Blame Game In a traditional setup, the designer blames the builder for high costs, and the builder blames the designer for "impossible" plans. We eliminate this friction by being the single point of accountability. If we draw it, we’ve already budgeted for the labor to build it.

Fixed Pricing vs. Estimates A "guesstimate" is a red flag. We provide a detailed interior project budget based on real material costs and known site conditions. Our goal is to ensure the only surprises you get during the construction phase are good ones.

Transparency in Every Pivot If a change is truly necessary mid-build, we handle it as contractors. We provide a clear breakdown of how that change affects the structural integrity and the bottom line immediately, so you can make a choice based on facts, not guesswork.

Long-Term Financial Protection Managing change orders isn't just about saving money today; it’s about protecting the value of the home. A project that stays on budget and follows a cohesive plan always results in a higher-quality finish that stands the test of time.

Integrity in Execution This isn't just about construction—it’s about trust. We challenge every request to make sure it’s a smart move for your home. By closing the "Change Order" trap, we ensure the final result is exactly what you paid for.
