Your scope and estimated fee
Add-ons are optional. Third-party costs are never on this receipt: those are quoted first and paid directly to the provider.
Every dollar you pay us comes back when we build.
When you build your home, ADU or garage with Brightview Homes, every dollar you paid Brightview for due diligence, entitlements and demolition coordination is credited back against your construction agreement. Pre-construction fees are credited in full against the construction contract price at signing.
- Applies to full-cycle building agreements (a home on your lot or custom home, a turnkey ADU, or a custom detached multi-car garage or workshop) with a contract value of $100,000 or more.
- Fees are earned as each filing, audit or field visit is completed and are not refundable. The credit is applied against the final construction draw or the pre-construction contract balance, never paid out in cash.
- Credits stay valid for 12 months from delivery of the completed work or permit closeout.
The credit covers Brightview's fees. Surveyor, engineer, attorney and government fees are paid directly to those providers and are not part of the credit.
