1) How much will it cost? I don't care if they charge $1 for the house and $249,999 for site costs or $249,999 for the house and $1 for the site cost. If they need to do any soil tests to get an exact price I would get the test done. If I pay for the soil test then I keep the results and can go elsewhere. If the builder pays for the soil test then they can keep it. 2) When will it be finished? I don't care if they wait 5 months to start and then complete the house in 1 month or start in a month and take 5 months. I wouldn't part with any money (excpet for tests that I get to keep) or sign anythign until I knew these two things. No if or buts.
