Frequently Asked Questions
We make sure to answer your queries so you would understand what we do and can do for you.
How many years have you been in business, and how many homes have you built?
What sort of new home warranty do you offer?
We always offer a one-year warranty and we have options for two-year, four-year and 10-year warranties.
Who will be overseeing the construction of my home? Who can I reach out to with questions as they arise?
I personally oversee all phases of construction. You will have my personal cell phone number, my Superintendent’s personal cell phone number and the number to our project managers. We have an office in West Bradenton, you’re free to stop by the office anytime. You can reach us via text messaging, email, telephone or through our 24/7 project management portal. You will also see us on site quite often.
What is your process for inspections throughout construction, final walk-through, and to address any matters that need to be corrected/finalized?
You are involved in the process from day one. We are open and transparent and everything is recorded and documented. Inspections are handled by Manatee county and they occur at all critical phases from Site Development to structure to plumbing, mechanical and electrical and through all phases of trim out and the certificate of occupancy (CO). We are partners in your home construction and we work with you and your family on a daily basis to ensure quality of construction, ease of communication and reliable documentation of all aspects of the process.
How and when will the final cost of my home be determined?
The final cost of your home is determined once the design is finalized. We can talk about metrics on a per-square-foot basis but your final price will be determined based upon your final design. We work hand-in-hand with you and your family and our architect to design a home that is in-keeping with your budget.
Do you all have your own engineers and soil experts go out to inspect and or survey the land in order to make sure the land is buildable?
Do you help with due diligence on the land within our due diligence period?
Permits
As an experienced custom home builder, we know that when a build goes months or even years beyond the estimated completion time it is often because of delays or complications in procuring permits. We understand the permitting process and will be proactive in obtaining the proper licensing and permits to ensure your build goes smoothly.
Accessory Dwelling Units
Do you need more living space? Recently, Manatee County has been in the process of updating the Land Development Code to allow Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) in existing neighborhoods. An ADU is a separate living area contained on a single-family lot. With rising rent costs and the small availability of affordable housing, ADUs are an excellent alternative. These ADUs can be built as attached to the home, detached single-story, above garage, and more. When done right, this type of housing reaps major rewards for homeowners, from renting income to aging-in-place independence.
At Adkins Building & Construction, we have extensive experience as a custom home builder and in building homes with quick turnaround times. With ADUs, we are even more efficient. We take you through every step of the process to ensure all of your needs are met. We offer customized services for your ADU construction. We know that every homeowner is different, with different preferences and tastes. That is why we offer tailor-made ADU construction services.
Detached Conversion
The unit is completely separate from the primary home. This is a great solution for maintaining privacy for a rental unit.
Attached Conversion
This unit is attached to the primary home. It’s a flexible solution to expand the size of your residence and add a second unit.
2nd Floor Conversion
Transform an existing secondary structure. Building on top of a garage is an option in certain areas too.
