Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we understand that ideas can evolve as you see your home taking shape. At True North Construction Company, we are flexible and open to changes during the construction process. That said, we want to make sure you understand how changes work so there are no surprises.

Changes made during construction are typically handled through a change order. A change order documents what is being changed, how it affects the cost, and whether it impacts the timeline. Some changes are simple and have little effect on the schedule. Others, especially structural changes or material substitutions, may require additional time, engineering, or permitting.

The earlier a change is made, the easier and less expensive it usually is to accommodate. Changes during the design and planning phase are the simplest to manage. Once framing or mechanical systems are in place, modifications can be more involved.

We encourage our clients to take their time during the design phase to think through the details. We would rather spend extra time on planning than deal with costly changes during construction. That said, we know that building a custom home is a personal experience, and we are here to work with you if your plans need to adjust along the way.

If you have questions about our process or want to learn more about how we manage custom home projects, reach out to our team.
