The Most Important Step In The Building Process Is Ensuring The Project Is Feasible.

Whether you’re building a new home, making additions or alterations, the project should be determined as both physically and financially feasible.

Physical Considerations
Legal Requirements: Special Licensing, Zoning Permits, etc.
Site Conditions: Property Evaluation
Pre-Existing Building Conditions
Financial/Budget
Cost of Suppliers and Materials
Cost of Subcontractors
Cost of Building and Management
and Other Financial Considerations

HIBO believes that ALL major Home Improvement Projects must be Physically and Financially Feasible before the Homeowner invests in their project. Ask these questions before you invest:

  1. Is the project “physically” feasible to construct?
  2. Is the project “financially” feasible to construct?

If the answer to either of these questions is no, then we cannot proceed.

1. Physical Needs

A. Zoning & Permits

  1. Determine if the Zoning setback requirements are compatible for this project.
  2. Understand local Land Disturbance Requirements
  3. Determine if some and /or all parts of the project will require permits.
  4. Determine local Flood Zones
  5. Understand Zoning Variances and Applications
  6. Determine the Level of the Local Building Review process
  7. Determine & validate the Owner can obtain his own Building Permit.

B. SITE CONDITIONS

  1. Determine if any Existing site features will incur additional project costs.
  2. Determine if any Proposed site features will incur additional costs.
  3. Determine Building Events Access
  4. Site review of Land Disturbance

C. BUILDING CONDITIONS

  1. Determine if the existing dwelling conditions impede or incur additional costs to the project.
    • Hazardous Materials, lead, asbestos, etc
    • Foundation and Framing Existing Structural Conditions
    • Prior Damages & Repairs required over and above the Scope of Work
  2. Determine what costs will be incurred for the proposed building, as per description from HIBO’s understanding of the Owner’s plan and concept designs.

2. “FINANCIAL NEEDS”

A. Determine fair market value for specific subcontractor tasks.

  • Local Labor to perform the SOW TBD

B. Determine fair market value for specific materials and products.

  • Pending Owners choices of his “WANTS”
  • Pending Building Standard prices for the Permit “NEEDS”

C. Determine fair market value for total building and managing costs.
