- DWDean WyssMay 10, 20232.0Not happy.
- JCJerome CareyJan 31, 20222.0We did not end up using this business, so I cannot speak about the quality of work. Only because we never entered into that phase. Al is a great guy and was very helpful when he showed us his office and the process of building the home. Things started to turn when he gave us a approximate time when we would receive a bid price. We eventually received it after several months past the time given. The price was also astronomical. We then asked for another bid due to the bid was incorrect because of added items to the floor plan. It's been several more months and now nothing back. Unfortunately Al was not very attentive and hardly got back to us. In the end, we are the buyer and want to feel comfortable with the builder of our forever home! We ended up not further using Wittstock for that reason.
Frequently Asked Questions About Wittstock Builders LLC
What is the first step in starting the building process with Wittstock Builders?
The first step is scheduling an initial consultation to discuss your vision, preferences, and budget with our owner Al Wittstock. This helps us understand your goals and craft a custom design plan for your home.
How does the interior design process work?
After a contract is signed one of our interior design teams will work with you to choose finishes, textures, and materials that reflect your style and preferences. We streamline the selection process with trusted vendors, ensuring an efficient and enjoyable experience.
What financing options are available for my new home?
Many clients choose construction-to-permanent loans, allowing you to finance the building process and seamlessly transition to a long-term mortgage. We can recommend lenders who specialize in this type of financing.
Will I get a cost breakdown of my contract?
After a contract is signed one of our interior design teams will work with you to choose finishes, textures, and materials that reflect your style and preferences. We streamline the selection process with trusted vendors, ensuring an efficient and enjoyable experience.
How long does the home-building process take?
The timeline varies based on design complexity, site preparation, and material availability. We will provide a preliminary schedule once the design is finalized and a more detailed timeline for when construction begins. On average, plan drafting and pricing can take 1-3 months, permitting 1-2 months, and construction 6-9 months. Once your specific project is reviewed, we can provide a more accurate timeframe tailored to your situation.
How does Wittstock Builders ensure the quality of my home?
We take pride in our high-quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. We invite you to visit our previous projects to see our standard of work firsthand. Your home will be built to the same standards as our model homes within your price range.
What happens if I want to make changes during the construction process?
Change orders are used to document any changes to the original contract, including adjustments to selections or design. Both parties review and sign the change orders, ensuring clarity. A nominal fee may apply for changes made after framing has begun.
What happens if an issue arises during construction?
Should any issues arise, communication is key. Let us know your concerns as soon as possible, and we’ll address them professionally and efficiently. Our goal is to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience throughout the process.
Can I visit the construction site while my home is being built?
Yes, we encourage clients to visit the site to watch their homes come to life. However, for safety reasons, there may be times when you are asked not to be on-site alone.
How is the schedule and information shared throughout the build?
We use Buildertrend, a powerful construction management software, to organize and communicate every aspect of your project. Buildertrend allows us to track and update project schedules in real-time, adjusting as needed while notifying you of any changes immediately. Through the platform, we share the project schedule, photos, and key documents to keep you informed. All change orders and approvals are handled electronically, providing clarity and transparency. Buildertrend’s client portal also lets you view selections and information that is available to subcontractors all through one easy-to-use system accessible on both desktop and mobile.
