Frequently Asked Questions

A construction allowance is a pre-set budget for specific elements of a home build, like flooring, cabinets, or countertops. It’s designed to give you options within a defined range, balancing your preferences and the project’s budget. A trusted builder will help you make selections that work with your allowance. It can be a tool that keeps your vision and your finances aligned during construction.

Open-book pricing means the builder charges the actual cost of materials and labor plus a predetermined fee or percentage for their services. A reputable builder will provide clear communication and detailed records, helping you understand costs and stay involved.
