"We build an agreement with real numbers and we try to keep costs in the target price range," frederiksen says. "The client is welcome to make changes after the agreement, but that will also change the price. We always make our agree- ments subject to lawyers' approval and financing." There's no pressure to make every decision at one time, nor is it prac- tical, he says. "you'll never have all your deci- sions made 100% before you sign the document." Once an agreement is in place, the builder spends some quality time drawing the plans for the new home. "Each house gets its own set of plans that have to be sent in for a permit," says frederiksen. When permits are received, a pro- duction schedule is set. The base- ment is excavated, followed by framing and rough-ins of the elec- trical, plumbing, heating and ventilation systems. Then it's time for drywall, painting and installation of cabinets. The last steps are finishing the wood- work, electrical and plumbing. "after we do a thorough cleaning, including the ductwork, the home is ready to move in," frederik- sen says. "We have a walk-through before we turn over the keys. We make sure the customers are pleased with the work we did. We want our cus- tomers to be 100% satisfied with the home we delivered." along with the keys, the proud new homeown- ers receive a manual which explains the builder's warranty and the structural warranty. "The warranty gives them the confidence that if they have any issues, they can call us and we'll work it out," frederiksen says. "We're known for delivering a quality product that a family can live in for generations." Wheatley says he's made a good return on his investment each time he's sold a Ventura home. and he enjoys the benefits that come with living in a new house. "you get to pick out everything and it's new. you don't really have maintenance on it, and every- thing is under warranty. Ventura's warranty pro- cess is seamless," he says. "after a year, you send them a report of all the natural damage from the house settling, and they come in and fix everything. a year after moving in, it looks brand new all over again." rounding tHird Cont'd from page 15 'You get to pick out everything and it's new.
