Preference Sheet

All this information will give us a good start on pricing your new home and what will be involved in building that one-of-a-kind home that you will love for years to come. If you don’t know exactly what you want at this time and some of these questions were hard to answer, it’s okay this is just the start. We can work out all the details and specifics as we go.

If there is anything that you want to add that we did not address, don’t worry we will sit down and discuss it in more detail. Also, if you would like to provide any photos or any examples of things, or looks that you like, please bring those along as well or you can email these things to dwise@donwiseconst.com. We look forward to getting this process started and hope that this questionnaire will help it become a smooth and enjoyable experience.
