None that are associated with the construction of the home itself. Everything regarding the construction will be covered in the contract. However, fees related to your property may need to be paid such as Homeowner's Association Dues, Membership Transfer fees, etc.
 

We understand you may change your mind-rarely does a homeowner know exactly what they want from start to finish, and most importantly, we want you to be happy with your home. The problem comes in when changes are made after work has been completed, or when a change will cause delay in the next step of construction.

Typically, costs for changes would be minimal to none, unless it relates to an item that is already installed, or under construction, or related to a change order. Items listed on a change order may not have been priced with the original bid, and will have to be priced at that time.

Note: With good, sound planning on both the homeowner's part, and Rhetson Companies' part, changes during construction are very minimal.
 

The quick answer is 6-8 months. With our scheduling and planning procedures, most homes should be completed in this time frame from the start of construction. However, we are unable to control some factors that may cause delays such as weather, material availability,inspections and subcontractor schedules. You will receive progress reports on the status of your home so you are always aware of any of these factors, if they do arise. We always try to overcome these obstacles to keep the project on the schedule we have furnished. It is to your benefit and ours to keep to the agreed upon schedule.
 

We prefer that you visit the jobsite only when a Rhetson Companies, Inc. representative is able to accompany you, for liability reasons. Heavy machinery, power tools, air guns, etc. can be very dangerous, unfinished stairwells, floors, steps, thresholds, walls and support systems for example can also be hazardous as well as other materials that are used on the worksite and may not be readily recognized by you. We will, however, from time to time, ask you to meet on site and do walk-throughs or other site tasks with us. Otherwise, we would ask that you contact a Rhetson Companies, Inc. representative to meet you at the job site if you would like to be there during regular work hours. We will also provide you with written progress reports to keep you informed.
 

If an error is made during the construction process, by Rhetson Companies, Inc., or any of the subcontractors that we employ, it will be corrected by Rhetson Companies, Inc., at no cost to the homeowner. The homeowner will always be notified of such mistakes and to what extent it may or may not affect the construction schedule.
 

There should not be any additional items you would need to purchase to make your home liveable. Some items to think about however, that are generally not covered in construction, are window treatments, and refrigerator, washer / dryer that are not included in the appliance allowance, but can be negotiated before-hand.
 

Construction will continue on Saturdays if we need to catch up for a weather delay or to stay on schedule, and if allowed by the Development POA
 

You will be furnished with all of Rhetson Companies, Inc. personnel office and cell phone numbers so that you may reach us at any time. We are happy to answer any questions you may have and want to assure you that we will resolve any of your concerns. We do, however, ask that unless it is an emergency, you please make calls before 6:30 pm, and try to make them during the week due to our strong commitment to spending time with our families.
 

You will be furnished with a new homeowner's manual, and contact list of all persons and companies that contributed to the construction of your new home. They each carry a 1-year warranty on workmanship and will be glad to help you with any problems, should one arise. If you feel you are not getting proper cooperation from these people, never hesitate to call us.

We feel that once we construct a Rhetson Home, it is always a Rhetson Home.
