How much per square
foot should I budget for my house?
That depends on the size and style of the home as well as
the materials and finishes chosen. For example, did you know
that a single-level home generally costs more per square foot
to construct than a multi-story house? Also, the cost per
square foot decreases as the size of the home increases. Hopewell
Homes has built homes ranging in the high $80s to $150s per
square foot. We can help you determine how much to budget,
once we've discussed what type of home you have in mind. And,
of course, we provide you with a full, turnkey estimate before
you sign a contract.

Where do you build?
We currently build in Warren and Butler County Ohio, in and
around Lebanon, Mason, Morrow and West Chester.

Do you only build
on Hopewell Homes lots, or will you build on a lot I own or
am buying?
Both! We are happy to build on your property. In fact, our
specialty is helping you make the most of your site. We also
have home sites in carefully chosen Hopewell Homes communities.
Top
Will you build from
my plans?
Yes. Of course, you also have the option of using our design/build
service in which we design a home based on your needs!
Top
How long will it
take to build my home?
That depends on the time of year, site conditions, the style
of the home and the availability of materials. From the start
of actual construction, we typically complete a home within
five to eight months. Remember, no two Hopewell Homes are
exactly alike, and we take the time and attention to detail
needed to construct a top-quality home that you'll enjoy for
years to come. The progress of construction is also dependent
on you and how quickly you make decisions that need to be
made during the process.

How much cash do
I need for a down payment?
Typically, the down payment is 5% of the purchase price. We
also require a commitment letter from the lender. But programs
are available that require no down payment.
Top
How can I
finance my home?
Custom homes can be financed in several ways. Hopewell Homes
will work with your lender to find a solution to fit your
needs. We also have a preferred lender who has provided financing
for many of our custom homebuyers and is able to offer a number
of beneficial alternatives to tailor a loan to meet your specific
needs. If you are building a home in one of our Hopewell Homes
neighborhoods, you'll find we offer special financing packages.
Hopewell Homes has many years of experience in home lending
and can easily guide you through the process as well as assist
you in finding a program to fit your financing needs.

What information
should I bring to my initial meeting with Hopewell Homes builders?
If you have your own lot, please bring a survey or site plan.
Many clients bring us a floor plan, sketch or clipping of
a style they have in mind. Others simply bring us ideas and
a list of needs and wishes for their lifestyles.
Top
How will
I know what's included in the price of my custom home?
Our final plans include exact specifications down to the smallest
detail. Most items are listed by manufacturer's name, size
and model numbers. You'll know the precise description of
everything from windows to the number and type of phone jacks.
Top
How will
I make selections?
We have a few samples in our offices that will help you make
decisions for preliminary budgeting purposes. Later you'll
visit individual vendors' showrooms to see their complete
lines and make final decisions for brick, siding, shingles,
flooring, cabinets, appliances and plumbing and lighting fixtures.
Top
May I make
changes during the construction process?
Yes. We want you to be happy with the decisions you've made.
We issue written change orders for authorization if additional
work is rendered after the final contract is signed.
Top
What type
of warranty does Hopewell Homes Inc. provide?
We provide a one-year Builders Limited Warranty.
