Does fixed price mean I will never pay more than the quoted amount?

A fixed price contract locks the cost for the defined scope of work. You will only pay more if you initiate a change order by requesting work outside the original scope, such as adding square footage, upgrading finishes beyond your allowances, or changing the floor plan after signing. The builder cannot add charges for cost overruns on the agreed scope.

How do allowances work in a fixed price construction contract?

Allowances are dollar amounts assigned to items you select after signing, like light fixtures, tile, or cabinet hardware. If your selections stay within the allowance, the price stays the same. If you pick a higher-end option, you pay only the difference between the allowance and the actual cost. FTH defines every allowance in the scope document before you sign.

Can a fixed price builder handle custom mountain cabin builds in Blue Ridge GA?

Yes. Fixed price does not mean cookie-cutter. It means the scope is thoroughly defined before quoting. FTH builds custom mountain homes, cabin renovations, and investor-grade STR properties on fixed price contracts across Fannin and Gilmer counties. The key is the pre-construction site walk and scope document process.

What happens if material costs go up after we sign a fixed price contract?

The builder absorbs material cost increases on a fixed price contract. If lumber prices spike or a supplier raises pricing after your contract is signed, that is the builder's risk, not yours. This is one reason fixed price quotes include a contingency, and it is a core part of the value you receive.

How do I get a fixed price estimate from FTH Construction?

Start by calling (470) 270-4681 or submitting a request through our contact page. We will schedule a site walk, evaluate your parcel, discuss your project scope, and deliver a detailed fixed price quote typically within one to two weeks. There is no cost for the initial estimate.

Do I need to own the land before getting a fixed price quote?

You need at least a purchase contract or option on the land so we can access the parcel for a site walk. We cannot quote a fixed price without physically evaluating the lot, because slope, soil, rock, and access conditions directly affect the number. If you are still shopping for land, we can discuss general budget ranges for the areas you are considering.
