[quote=Anonymous]While I can't speak specifically to Evergreene, I will tell you that you're probably going to go over any monetary estimate that you sign. We built a custom home (not with a builder, rather an architect and contractor) - did a May move out and the project didn't start until August. We were told 9 months. It took 17. I imagine a builder with pre-set plans and development underway would not run into that many issues, but walk around a development they've finished and ask questions of the neighbors. It's just some of your time and it might answer some of your questions, and my guess is people will be more than willing to give their opinions. Unforeseen issues (building site, county delays, weather, mistakes, subcontractor backups, different choices once you see X wall built vs on the blueprint, etc.) end up costing you money. That's not to mention the time delays that might have you staying in a rental longer than anticipated. If you're having doubts, look for a house that's either nearly finished or newly built. It's a long, emotional and stressful process anyway to buy a house - to go through a build is just that more challenging. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't. But most people who have been through a build would probably tell you the same thing. [/quote]
