Congrats on the new home. Thx for the tips to keep a record of everything. I have not caught any errors yet. So far pleased with my builder because they go over everything verbally, in writing, and then a third tie before we sign. But I am still watching…
Thank you, I hope this was helpful! Luckily we just heard this morning that they are working on the cabinet replacement but it definitely won't be ready by the time we move it. At least it'll get corrected though!
Hi Nicole , love your videos ! Hey quick question , how do you find your house public records ? I want to check they are using the correct sheathing material ( we are so much earlier in the process) and builder is not responding :-s , so want to check whta is actually submitted to city for permits :) . Many thanks
That's so good to hear, I hope they're helpful! I've found a lot of great information from searching my county name plus "public records," " real estate assessment," and "permits search." I still have tabs open daily to monitor the progress with the county! It's definitely crazy how much information is available, but it can be a little tricky to track down. Once you find the database you'll be able to search by your address, lot number, or subdivision depending on how early on in the process you are. Best of luck with your home!
Thanks for your valuable insights. Flying to Sarasota for design appointment next week. No permits yet lodged with Venice city website. Will do additional searching using your techniques.
Nicole, progress report: none! Toll Bros rep said in December on signing that they would break ground in May. Not! Rep phoned me once May 26 to say permit application would go in first week of June, then left message saying it wasn't done. Venice, Florida. They don't return calls or reply to emails!
@@nicolenieves finally! Toll Brothers permit application filed July 21, 2022 late afternoon. Found it today. This is the start...of our new home. Perhaps we will break ground by October? Fingers crossed.
@@claudiahansen4938 that's so great! I'm very happy for you, that wait time is awful. At least now you know it's in the system and things are progressing. I hope that it all starts moving faster for you now, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you
They only charged us once and let the other times slide since it was taking so long but it was $250 per change normally! So it could add up really fast

Thank you so much Nicole, great information, and since I’m just starting in the process, very timely for me.
So exciting! Wishing you the best of luck during your process
Thank you for all these tips! I hope they correct your cabinets in a timely manner.

Best of luck with your design appointment! It's so exciting to see it all start to come together in person.
@@nicolenieves thanks! Will give comments after I get back. Trying to keep in mind everything you said!
Excellent information
Thank you 😊
Thank you so much!

NO I'm so sorry! Communication isn't that much to ask for, to just not return your calls or emails is ridiculous and beyond frustrating

@@nicolenieves thanks for your encouragement! I really have learned a lot from all your videos. Will update if anything exciting happens.
Closing pushed to August, 2023. That is 19 months from contract signing. Promised 14-16 months. Our supply chain is being sabotaged in every area.
How much did you spend overall in change requests?
