What Happens During a New-Home Construction Consultation?

What to bring

Bring the property address, survey or recorded plat, house plans or inspiration photos, desired size and layout, and any information about utilities, septic or HOA restrictions.

Be ready to discuss finish expectations, budget and financing status, desired timeline, garage and outdoor features, and anything the home must accommodate.

Questions to ask the contractor

Ask who manages permits and inspections, which work is performed by employees or specialized trades, how allowances and changes are handled, and what the written agreement includes.

Verify the contractor's license, project classification and point of responsibility before moving forward.

What AGCS reviews

AGCS reviews the property, plan dimensions, site access, utilities, likely sitework, construction scope, preliminary budget and next professional or permitting steps.

After the consultation, the team identifies missing information and the next steps needed before a site-specific construction proposal can be finalized.
