Will There be Surprise Charges and Extra Fees with USModular?
A common frustration that home builders come upon is the buried or surprise extra costs incurred when building an on-site home. Many new homeowners have a budget they cant afford to exceed, only to discover that there are many costly costs that seem to come up out of nowhere.
Common Hidden Costs for On-Site Home Builds in Santa Barbara
- Permits – there are many Santa Barbara permits necessary before on-site manufacturing 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 Santa Barbara 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 expenses
- Utilities – such as electricity used for construction, gas, water, etc.
- Water treatment systems – usually only a problem with well water
These concealed extra costs for on-site builds can add up quickly and force you off the budget you had originally planned.
