Many builders provide free quotes as part of their service which makes me hesitant to pay a deposit for a firm quote with NBG (ranging 1000-3000). That is, if the quote is un-competitive/on the high side, have I just flushed 1-3k down the drain?? Any builder can provide a free quote on the house, none will provide a free quote on the site costs to build that house. They cannot do so without a contour report and a soil report. The best they could provide is a rough guesstimate based on other soil and contour reports in the area. Those reports are what costs you the money, but it is not wasted money as you then own them. I'd be very wary of any builder that tells you they can provide full costs without you getting those reports. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: Quotation with National Builders Group (NBG) 6Jul 26, 2010 1:21 pm Hi, With NBG once you pay the $2000 to accept the quotation you move onto the contract stage. If for some reason you do not proceed to go ahead with the build then the $3000 you have already paid is not refundable. However, the $3000 you have already paid allows you to use the NBG plan you selected and approach another builder to construct the home for you.
