{{nearest_permits_1mi}} permits pulled within a mile of {{lot_address}}: who to price your plan with

County records show {{nearest_permits_1mi}} building permits pulled within a mile of {{lot_address}}, and the builders on those permits are where to start: get three bids on the same plan with the same allowances, then compare line by line.

Hi {{first_name}}, builders do not price the same way, so a lower total does not always mean a lower cost. Here is what to check.

• Same plan, same spec. Give every builder one set of plans and one finish level.
• Allowances. A low bid with thin allowances grows through change orders.
• Site work, itemized. Clearing, pad, driveway, culvert, utilities, each on its own line.
• Recent homes nearby. Ask to see two or three finished in your area, and talk to those owners.
• Payment schedule and warranty. Get both in writing.
• Fit with your lender. Your lender must approve the builder.

That last row is the useful one. Builders already working near your lot know the soil, the roads and the inspectors.
