FAQ
Straight
answers.
Do you build from my architect’s plans?
Yes. We price from permit-level drawings. If you do not have an architect yet, we work with three in San Jose and can introduce you.
Who owns the schedule?
We do, in writing. The contract carries a start week and a keys week, and the daily photo log shows you where we are against it.
Can I visit the site?
Any time. Saturday mornings are the usual walk with the foreman, and you get the day’s photos every evening.
