Open Decisions

Garage vs. No Garage

Open

Major scope and cost decision. Adding a garage changes the footprint, permits, and budget materially. Decision affects framing timeline.

  • Detached 1-car garage
  • Detached 2-car garage
  • No garage (keep current plan)
Decision needed by: John & Laura

Exterior Finishes

Open

Siding material, color palette, trim, and roofing selections. Needed before exterior work begins.

  • HardiePlank (fiber cement)
  • Cedar shingle
  • Composite / other
Decision needed by: John & Laura, with HMA input

GC Contract & Finalization

Open

Denisson has provided a rough estimate (Sept 2025). Final contract scope, fee structure, and schedule need to be agreed before full construction can proceed.

  • Fixed-price contract
  • Cost-plus with GMP
Decision needed by: John

Financing (HELOC)

Open

HELOC application is a parallel workstream. Determines available capital and draw schedule for construction payments.

  • HELOC on current home
  • Construction-to-permanent loan
  • Bridge financing
Decision needed by: John & Laura
