Sometimes they’ll ask for contractor info and proposed construction plans.

Ground Up new Construction Lessons learned?

I've been in the construction industry since i was a teenager and thats a long time ago.

The first house is a 3/2 and the newly constructed house is a 2/1.  

I signed the contract and got an inspector in the next day.

My current exploration pertains to new construction and land development.

IThe detailed engineering approach from actual cost records, also called the “detailed cost approach” or “direct cost method”, uses cost information from contemporaneous construction and accounting records.

Do you have potential land development/construction teams in place?

I read the HUD link in full and am fully understanding now my rights, and as I understand it if a tenant requests a door be widened, they must pay for that, a contract is in place, and it is returned back with a deposit made that is large enough to cover the full construction costs.
