What is the amount of the deposit required to secure a lot for construction?

To secure a home in Eagle’s Edge, you will need to make a construction deposit of $5,000 when contracting with Ledford Construction. Any additional costs for upgrades and fees must also be paid at the time of contracting. It’s important to note that all upgrades and fees are nonrefundable and not subject to appraisal. However, the $5,000 construction deposit will be credited back to you at the time of closing. This amount will be applied towards any payments due to the title company and lender fees, such as closing costs or down payment.

There may be instances where you realize a need or desire for changes that were not initially considered during the selection process. In such cases, you have the option to request a change order. However, please note that changes are strongly discouraged as they can potentially delay the construction timeline and incur additional costs. Any approved changes will require a payment of $500 per change order at the time of the request. These costs are nonrefundable and not subject to appraisal. All change orders will be mutually agreed upon and signed by both the buyer and Ledford Construction, becoming a part of the builder contract.
