It's been a few weeks since I posted an update on the process of building our new home. We finalized the plans a couple weeks ago and are now waiting for pricing to come back from the builder. We are told that this process takes about three weeks, so we should hopefully hear something yet this week. A friend of mine is also at the same stage in the build process, but they house they will be building is off a stock plan that the builder builds qutie often. With only minimal changes, they got a bid back in about two weeks. My guess is that a custom plan takes a little longer to bid as it is entirely new to the contractor and all the sub-contractors. I will report back when I have more.
