WHAT IS YOUR TYPICAL PROCESS FOR WORKING WITH A NEW CUSTOMER?
Green Habitat is a small boutique style custom Builder/Contractor. As such, Green Habitat accepts a limited number of construction build projects each calendar year. Our custom construction projects usually require the following:
​
Architect or Structural Engineer
Construction Drawings
Site Plan
Building Permits
Site Development
Well and Septic - Water and Sewer
Inspections
​
Upon initial contact with a customer, Green Habitat determines the scope of the project request and schedules a FREE project site visit. The initial project site visit will involve consulting with the customer to obtain project specifics, inspect the project area, take measurements and pictures for future use when calculating potential project cost (if no construction drawings exist).
​
To complete custom construction projects, Green Habitat requires a retainer for construction services. Green Habitat's retainers range from $2,500 - $5,000. This amount is dependent upon the size and scope of your unique project. Project retainers are credited toward the customer's final project cost. This credit results in a reduction in the overall cost of your project, when you select Green Habitat as your Builder/General Contractor.
​
Project proposals are delivered in 30 - 45 days and will reflect the actual cost/pricing to complete your project. The project proposal price will be valid for thirty (30) days from the date of project proposal delivery.

DESCRIBE A RECENT PROJECT YOU ARE FOND OF. HOW LONG DID IT TAKE?
Construction of a Detached Apartment Garage - Accessory Dwelling Unit (A.D.U.).
This project was constructed for a Disabled War Veteran.
When Green Habitat Construction was asked to act as Builder for this project, we were very busy with
other projects. However, when it was explained that the project was being constructed
for a "young" disabled Veteran, we could not say no as a Veteran owned Business. The
Disabled Veteran the project was for, required a level of special care and supervision
which was being provided at the family's current home. As such, the Disabled Veteran's
parents wanted to afford the Veteran a level of independence and privacy as a adult
while still able to provide the care and supervision needed. It was determined this could
be achieved by building a detached living space (A.D.U.) on the existing homes land.
The detached space, in the form of a Detached Garage Apartment with 2 Bedrooms, 2 and 1/2 Bathrooms, Kitchen, Living Room, and Game Room was constructed. The project
was the equivalent of building a small house (A.D.U.) next to the primary residence. We
are very proud of this project which was constructed during the COVID Pandemic of
2021.
