Frequently Asked Questions
Is the cost of the homesite included in your prices?
When you’re exploring new construction options with Brandl Anderson, you’ll see that each plan comes with a base cost. This is the cost of the structure itself, as well as base interior and exterior features, and a base homesite. Some homesites have additional costs related to them for certain added features such as look-out windows in the basement or wider yards.
How long will building my home take?
Building your new home with Brandl Anderson will take approx. 6 months from the time you sign your purchase agreement. At the time that you sign your purchase agreement, we will provide you with a tentative closing date. Once your home is under construction and the schedule finalized, we will provide you with a more precise closing date. We will provide frequent updates on the progress on your home and how they will affect the completion.

I’m overwhelmed with the idea of making so many decisions, but want to purchase a new home – what are my options?
