The preconstruction meeting is our chance to meet the owner of Varsity Development (who has a great long standing reputation in this community) and to meet the superintendent (I think that is his title) for our house. I was really pleased with both men and felt very comfortable and confident with them. I really appreciated that they are very straight forward and don't seem to skirt issues. I deal best with people who are direct so it seems to be a good fit for us.
We spent about 3 hours going over everything. We talked about lighting, electrical, flooring, the kitchen, etc. It was nice to break things down one by one and go over it. I liked hearing his opinion on different upgrade options and why he would recommend certain things. It was also incredibly helpful to have this meeting at a model home. We meet at the West Richland model, which is the Callas floor plan. The downstairs was almost exactly the same and the upstairs was similar enough for us to see how certain things would be. Anytime there was a question we weren't sure of we were able to just go look around the house and see how it would look/work and what the best option for us would be. There were a couple things I think we would have done differently and regretted if we hadn't been able to see it then and make a more informed decision!
I was so worried this would be a really hard and stressful meeting but it went incredibly well. It wasn't until we ended that I realized how long we had been there and how hungry we were (the meeting went straight through lunch time). Now we have checked this off our list of things to worry about!
We have been checking out the site almost daily at this point and are just waiting for them to break ground. That should be happening sometime very soon so we are getting excited. Once they get the slab down and start framing things are going to go fast!!
Next thing to worry about... selling the house!
