Questions
Common questions
- What kinds of projects does AUCTOR take on?
- ADUs and DADUs, substantial renovations and additions, ground-up residential construction, driveways and site improvements, and redevelopment of value-add property.
- Do you handle permits?
- We coordinate permitting, work with the design and engineering team, and manage inspections through completion. Timelines are set by the jurisdiction, so we plan for them early rather than promise them.
- Can you help me decide whether to renovate or rebuild?
- Yes. Because we build for clients and develop property ourselves, we can compare the cost, schedule and long-term value of renovating against rebuilding on the same lot.
- How do you price work?
- Pricing follows a feasibility and scoping stage. We do not publish fixed prices, because site conditions, design decisions and permitting requirements change what a project actually takes.
- What happens after I submit a property?
- The owners review it directly and follow up if it warrants a closer look. A submission does not create an agency, brokerage, partnership or obligation to purchase.
