FAQs

Questions are a good thing. We’ve got answers.

What is a Fixed Bid vs. Time and Material?

A fixed bid is agreeing on a total cost for a project upfront, no matter how long it takes or what resources are used. It’s paying a set price for building a house, regardless of whether it takes a month or a year. On the other hand, time and materials is paying for things as they come—imagine hiring someone to fix your house, and you pay for the hours they work and the materials they use. Fixed bid gives you a clear price tag. Time and materials offer flexibility but can be much less predictable in terms of the final bill.

What is our Timeline from start to finish?

The design phase for an Aspen Home usually spans 3-5 months, with the build phase taking approximately 6-8 months, the durations varying based on the house’s size and complexity. Conversely, for a Windmiller Home, the design phase typically extends from 6-12 months, while the build phase ranges from 7-14 months, contingent on the property’s size and intricacy. Adhering to a stringent schedule is pivotal for maintaining our production efficiency. Remarkably, we achieve a 99% on-time delivery rate, and even in cases of deviation, it seldom exceeds a one-week delay.

How often does your client stay on budget?

Aspen Homes consistently adheres to budgetary constraints, maintaining a flawless record of staying within the allocated budget for every project. Our meticulous approach involves thorough selection of all items upfront before the construction commences, empowering our clients with a manageable allowance range of $2,000 for various items. This pre-planning ensures financial transparency and allows our clients to make informed decisions within the set budget, fostering a smoother and more predictable construction process.
