Selection Process

The Selection Process

Whether building a home from the ground up or purchasing a property that is under construction, Tom French Construction will help you customize your dream home. The following is a guideline for changes and selections.

Many of the items in your new home are ordered well in advance of their installation.  To avoid extending the construction schedule and additional expense, we have identified change order/contract cut off points in the construction sequence.  By adhering to these key points, you can save time and money. Requests for changes, submitted after these points, will extend the schedule, as well as carry extra costs for re-stocking fees, construction loan interest, and re-work.  Often, they cannot be accepted under any circumstances. If you are considering changes, please discuss it with us immediately so that we can assist you in making a final decision as quickly as possible.
