Pre-Construction Meeting

Our pre-construction meeting went pretty good. It was about an hour. I had previously researched tons of blogs and typed up tons of questions to ask. Our PM Blake was very nice and helpful. He seemed really to the point and didn't put a bunch of "fluff" in when we were talking. He didn't mind all of my questions and has called us on a weekly basis to update us. I'm glad he is our PM and I'm looking forward to building our house with him.

My list of questions that I compiled. Maybe it will help some of you too.

  1. He probably said no about the painted garage... RH doesn't usually finish the garage. We are planning to do that ourselves once the weather improves.

  2. Hi Robin, sorry they couldn't do the outlet for you. And yes, the garage is left unpainted with the strips of and spots on the walls nor do they insulate the entire garage only the interior walls.
