And if you have a favorite McCollum home that we have done, then that can be a starting point for the architect.

What is the typical construction Time Frame?
On average for a 5000sq ft home we say one year from the time we pour the foundation. That is with all decisions made in a timely manner. Please note: if all decisions are made before we begin construction, that time can be less!
What is the price per Square Foot?
We base all of our bids on the specifications and selections from the architect, designer and homeowner. Once we evaluate that information we can move forward with pricing.

McCollum purchases a standard ACES warranty for all our projects. The HVAC company registers and sends warranty information as soon as you move in. Appliances all come with standard manufacturers’ warranties.
