Walker Homes FAQs

Am I ready for a construction quote?

Typically, you will be ready for a detailed construction quote once you have an accurate set of plans, including structural, Tittle 24, electrical, plumbing, etc. We recommend, for larger construction projects, that you wait to receive you construction quote until you have received your first round of city comments as the city may require specific revisions to your plan that could incur addition costs like fire sprinklers, solar, to name a few.

How do I select a General Contractor?

Find one that is recommended by someone you know, word of mouth, or check references. It is also important to like the people with whom you’ll be working. You will spend a lot of time interacting with whomever you choose during the construction process and the process will go a lot smoother if you like, respect, and have a good working relationship.
