Will There be Hidden Costs and Fees with USModular?
A common annoyance that home builders encounter is the unseen or buried charges added when building an on-site home. Many first-time homeowners have a budget they had hoped to stick with, only to discover that there are many costly extra costs that seem to come up out of nowhere.
Common Hidden Costs for On-Site Home Builds in Downey
- Permits – there are many Downey permits necessary before on-site building can begin.
- Perk testing – this measures the rate of water absorption and determines how big of a sand mound and leach field you will require.
- Surveying: – many Downey builders have to pay a surveyor to map the property lines, set backs from road ways, and any legal right of ways.
- Internal Customizations – such as appliances, fireplaces, etc.
- Overages – last minutes changes and unexpected costs
- Utilities – such as electricity used for construction, gas, water, etc.
- Water treatment systems – usually only a problem with well water
These unseen charges for on-site builds can add up quickly and push you off the budget that was originally set.
