FreeState can walk you through all of the processes.The Design:Several meetings with Skip Storm are needed to customize your dream home. The plans are refined until we achieve your expectations. When you select a final house plan, a final proposal to construct that home is provided. At this time, we can provide a 3-D walk through of your final plans. Once an agreement has been reached, then we can apply for the building permit. We can still make minor adjustments or changes through out this process.Preconstruction Meeting:Prior to the razing and/or building permit being released, you will meet with Skip Storm and Laura George to review your contract and drawings to ensure that we all understand the requirements for your custom home.
