How much will my project
cost? |
|
We
don't know. Every project is
different. However, DHDI can
provide cost guidelines so you
will know whether your project
is within your budget before you
invest in plans and we invest
our time in the bidding process. |
| |
|
What do you charge per square
foot? |
|
What most people really mean by
that is "how much will my
project cost?" Some builders
advertise a square footage
price, we do not. Our projects
vary too much.. If you are
building a 3000 SF house with a
4-car free standing garage
versus a 2-car attached garage,
with all other things being
equal, your price per SF will
differ. Ditto whether you want
custom solid wood doors versus
hollow-core doors, a spa-type
tub with custom imported
fixtures versus a walk-in shower
with standard fixtures, etc. |

|
May I buy my own products? |
|
That depends. Our mark-up is
based on the entire price of the
project. We pass along our
builder discounts to our
customers on their product
selections. Often our builder
discount is greater than our
mark-up. We have the obligation
of protecting the product during
installation. Depending on
the product, there may be
warranty issues if you purchase
your own product. As a general
rule, the answer would be no,
but there may be exceptions,
depending on the type of product
and the circumstances. |
| |
|
What
type of warranty do you offer? |
|
2 years. Products often carry
their own manufacturers
warranties that exceed 2 years. |
| |
|
Can I change my mind as the
project progresses? |
We try to be very accommodating
about
Change Orders. If you are
the type of person who wants to
do things in stages because you
want to make your product
decisions as you see the project
develop, we can either do the
project on a cost-plus basis, or
we can offer allowances for
certain selections, rather than
requiring all your choices to be
made in advance. Just be aware
that decisions made on special order products
after the project is
underway may significantly delay
the completion date.

|
Can you help me find an
architect? |
|
Yes. Or you can provide plans to
us. We prefer you work directly
with the architect. |
| |
|
Will
you provide references? |
Dean will gladly take you thru
some projects we have completed
and furnish you with a list of
references prior to doing your
job. However, in deference to
our clients' privacy, references
are not given out until we know
you are a serious potential
customer.
For starters, we recommend you
check our record with the
Arizona Registrar of Contractors
and the Better Business Bureau. |
