Frequently asked questions
during home construction

How long will it take for my home
to be completed once you break ground?
Our contract does not provide for a completion date. Generally, we are able to complete homes in a timely manner, but due to delays caused by subcontractor availability, weather, and other unforeseen factors, we are not able to give an accurate completion date until we are about 30 days from finishing your home.

Why is no one working on my house today?
This may be because of crew schedules, supply delays, permit or inspection delays, or bad weather. There may be several days when no crew is working on your home, and there may be days where several crews are working. This is completely normal.

Can I make changes once my home is under construction?
Neatherlin Homes has a detailed purchasing and production system that is dependent on the way your home was originally purchased at your local Neatherlin sales office. Changes can affect material availability, engineering requirements, and blueprints required by local building departments. Although we are as flexible as possible to accommodate our customers, we ask that you make all changes at the point of sale and not once your home is placed under construction.

Can I begin my completion work prior to
Neatherlin Homes finishing their contract?
The answer depends on what work you wish to do. We would request that you not commence any work until the home is tendered to you but, we will allow the installation of your well and/or septic, as long as it does not interfere with the completion of our contract. We require that our contract is completed prior to any interior finishes, such as painting or flooring. For specific questions, please contact your construction manager.
