Trusted Bathroom Remodeling Contractors in Bluffton, SC

The Planned Development Agreement (PDA) is step one in your new build with Front Light, and signing the PDA and submitting your deposit allows our team to put your new construction on our master schedule. During the Planned Development phase, Front Light will coordinate modifications with the architect and submit the plans through the community Architectural Review Board (ARB). Plans include a full set of architectural plans (structural, electrical, landscape, grading, etc.). Front Light shall provide and pay for all Architectural and Plan Review Fees necessary to obtain conceptual approval in connection with, or related to, the plan development and ARB submissions. The Planned Development Price shall be credited against the first draw during construction if you choose to hire Front Light to build the house on your lot. If you decide not to move forward with us, that development price is non-refundable, but you will have ARB approval and will own all the plans. Once you decide on your home, the fun begins! When you decide to build with Front Light, you will work with our design coordinator in our in-house design center. Once the design appointment is complete, we will incorporate your design selections into your final contract price.

There are a lot of things to take into consideration when pricing a home. Our team can give you an average range of what a typical home in the neighborhood you are building in costs per square foot, which should help with budgeting. Front Light prides ourselves on giving a true cost to build when we sign the contract. During the Planned Development phase, we will work with suppliers to get true purchase order numbers (versus a quote as provided by most builders). When you sign your contract, your contracted total price (minus any changes or upgrades you may make past the initial design meeting) will be your total price.

Our contract states our build will be complete within 365 days. The typical home build takes 9-10 months from the day we break ground. This depends a lot on the size of the home, site conditions, and overall complexity of your new home. In the end, we are a process-driven company and like to maintain a complete schedule throughout each phase of the project.

Different communities have different requirements for exterior color selection. If you want something specific, it is best to make that known early in the process so we can ensure the Architectural Review Board (ARB) is aware of what you want. Spec homes have already been approved through the ARB, and every new color choice will have to be reapproved by the ARB. If you buy a spec home, depending on where we are in the build process, we can do minimal/accent color changes to the exterior, pending ARB approval.

Front Light strives to develop relationships with our customers. Building a new home can be frightening on many levels, but we have developed a process and system to help guide you through the process. In the end, communication is vital and key to making sure, at all points along the way, everyone is in sync and on the same page. We care at Front Light and encourage all our customers to get to know the organization through our website and conversation before you make your final decision. Keep in mind that building a home should be fun and exciting!
