Home Building Partners & Resources That Make It Happen
                  For Turnkey or ModularDirect buyers, for the curious, or anyone seeking pre-qualified help

Anyone can "Google" a real estate agent, a mortgage company, a surveyor, an engineer, a builder (you've found one!) and subcontractors to bring a new home project to a successful completion. But only a team - a well oiled, like-minded machine - can make it happen within budget, on time, and with as few fireworks as possible. They say you're only as good as the people with whom you're surrounded. These folks & organizations make it happen.

• NOTE: get off to a great start and mention you were referred by Finish Werks!  (it's ok - we receive no compensation; it's all about understanding)

DIY Resources for researching land to build on...

If you don't already have land on which to build, we've found ZipRealty.com to be one of the best Internet sources available. It provides more search criteria and filters (to specifically tailor your search) than any other web portal we've seen, and includes local MRIS listings.

Researching Land Plats

If you're working with an experienced realtor, they can often provide much of the information you need to know about buildable land: raw land vs. permitted lots; onsite water & sewer service vs. well and septic tank; zoning and subdivision.
