I have heard horror stories about building, so why would I?
Communication, expectations and honesty are key. Nathan spends more time on the planning stages than most builders to make sure you understand the cost, time commitment and what affects the schedule. If it sounds too good to be true then it usually isn’t.

What is the worst thing that has gone wrong during the construction?
Floods! Weather is something no one can control and is the number one thing that can mess up the schedule.

What is the difference between fixed cost and cost plus?
Fixed cost home with allowances is the best way to keep you in budget. If lumber or concrete go up then you aren’t responsible for that cost. Cost plus makes you responsible for the rising costs of materials and labor. It isn’t in the clients best interest to do cost plus.
