Q: Is it less expensive to renovate or build a new house?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/renovate-vs-remodel.htm">Renovating or remodeling</a> an existing structure is usually less expensive than the cost to build a new house. That&rsquo;s because you can save on the costs of new building materials, laying a foundation, framing the entire building, and installing new materials and utilities throughout the house. However, if a home is in very poor condition or is incredibly old, you could spend more on upgrades and restoration compared to building from scratch. </p></div>

Q: What is the longest stage of building a house?

• <div><p>The construction stage, which includes pouring the foundation, framing the structure or building the walls if you choose a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/concrete-house-cost.htm">concrete house</a>, and installing doors, windows, a roof, siding, drywall, and flooring, will almost always take the longest. The planning phase can take just as long if you&rsquo;re building a custom home, but the finishing process, which includes painting, installing trim, and finishing the interior, will rarely take longer than the previous two phases.</p></div>

Q: Are green homes more affordable to build?

• <div><p>Green homes are often more expensive to build, averaging around $200 per square foot compared to the $150 per square foot you&rsquo;d spend to build a standard home. However, green homes can save you money on your utility bills by consuming less energy or creating energy using solar panels or wind turbines on-site. They&rsquo;re more expensive to build, but they often end up costing less in the long run. </p></div>

Q: What qualifies as a guest house?

• <div><p>To <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-guest-house.htm">qualify as a guest house</a>, a structure needs to meet your local building code requirements. In some locations, a guest house must be a separate residence from the primary home. In other locations, you may be able to connect the two buildings and still call the second building a guest house. However, a structure doesn&rsquo;t often need a minimum size to qualify as a guest house.</p><p></p></div>

Brandon and his crew worked with me to build a 25 year dream I had in my head. His professionalism and fabrication skills were incredible. They installed a retainer wall, 58 yards of concrete complete with grading and base, increased my concrete front porch along with incidentals. Then Brandon...

"Not even sure where to begin with this nightmare which I will now need to spend more money in legal just to get my money back if I'm lucky. It all started back in 2022 when a respectful salesperson Gary sold me on an underground bunker. Still to this day, he answers the phone for me, and he doesn't even work at Rising S company anymore. To keep a long story shorter, I paid over $100K for my unit after being pushed to make payments to 'keep it on the assembly line'. It has been paid in full since August of 2023 (just about 15 months for anyone counting). I received a response (finally) earlier this year in March that there is new ownership of the company, and the man in charge is Brad Dancer. After trying to contact for quite awhile, I did finally get him on the phone. He apologized and explained to me that he's in over his head. Even though I believe I have been more than patient, I agreed to give him some time to finish and deliver my unit. We agreed that August of this year (2024) I would have it. I checked in by email in June to ask if we were still on track. I received a response that we were indeed on track. Now fast forward to today (10/25/24), I have been completely ghosted by email, phone, and text. No responses at all by ANY form of communication. At this point, I realize I have been robbed of over $100K. And after reading many other consumers reviews on different platforms, it appears I'm not the only one. I will now begin my journey with the Attorney General and Legal process. I'll update my status here so anyone can see what happens. At least people can get answers some way. It is not a good feeling to not be able to get a company to call you, especially after they've taken over $100k. You can't even leave a message on the office line ( which no one has EVER answered by the way). I don't understand how a company like this could still be in business. My recommendation to anyone reading this.....I hope it's not too late for you."
