Q1: What are the initial steps for commissioning an AZRIA HOME?

STEP 1: Prepare Information (30 Minutes)

(A) Do you own your land? If so, your AZRIA HOME request gets addressed in the most immediate manner.

(B) Have you obtained financing? If so, this will shed some realistic light on the realities of your budget and help you understand how much AZRIA HOME you can purchase.

(C) What is your projected schedule for completion? We can assist with this but you'll want to give this some careful thought — timing will impact every facet of the home building process.

So in summary, if you (A) own your land, and (B) have financing, you’re ready to begin! If either of these two factors has not been resolved, you've got some homework to do. Once you have completed, get back in touch with us.

STEP 2: ANALYZE, INVESTIGATE and REVIEW (14 Days)

(A) ANALYZE - the physical property, entitlements, setbacks, etc. Is an AZRIA HOME installation on your property feasible?

(B) INVESTIGATE - Governing Agency and local rules/regulations.

(C) REVIEW - all of the above to determine the feasibility of your budget + schedule + scope of work.

There are occasions when satisfying STEP 1 relies upon information obtained in STEP 2. AZRIA HOME can be commissioned to provide a Feasibility Report to assist in final determinations regarding property development possibilities.

Q2: Can I custom design a project with your AZRIA HOME modules?

Each of the AZRIA HOME models — ADU 250, 1440, 2160 and MAX-X24 — is arranged in an efficient and aesthetically pleasing manner. Designed to leverage economies of scale and volume, each model home is composed of standardized components/modules. This is how we're able to deliver high quality, affordable homes in an expedited manner.

We strongly recommend capitalizing on the past R&D that our AZRIA HOME Team has undertaken by working with our standardized model designs.

If you feel that we should be designing a model that is suited to your specific needs, keep in mind that customized modules have a major impact on overall home cost/schedule.

Q3: How do I obtain a building permit for a AZRIA HOME project?

STEP 1: Modular Submittal & Site-Based Plan Check (One Month)

(A) Sumbittal of required documents, designs and calculations to governing agency dedicated to modular construction.

(B) Initiation of plan check process with local jurisdiction agencies for site-based work.

STEP 2: Separate Modular & Site-Based Reviews/Approvals (Time Varies per governing agency jurisdiction — typically this is a two to three month process)

(A) Documents exclusive to AZRIA HOME modular portions of the project are reviewed, completed and approved by governing agency.

(B) A small portion of the overall drawings and documents related to site-based work are reviewed, completed and approved in a streamlined plan check process with local agencies. The integration of all drawing types are stamped for approval to build.

AZRIA HOME can prepare all required standard documentation and submittals to the respective governing agencies having jurisdiction over the property/site. Any Variances, Conditional Use Permits, Environmental Impact Reports, Special Use Permits, etc. that are required above and beyond these standard approvals will be obtained at this stage. As a client, you will be given advanced notice of any additional project-based service fees that you may incur.

Q4: What can one expect from the AZRIA HOME design-manufacture-deliver-build process?

Step 1: Factory-Built & Site-Based Work — Part I

(A) Steel module fabrication and progress quality control begins in overseas facility. Ongoing U.S. inspections take place.

(B) Site demolition and preparation for foundation install. Construction begins.

Step 2: Factory-Built & Site-Based Work — Part II

(A) In the factory, all rough & finish electrical, plumbing, mechanical systems, cabinets & fixtures are installed. Walls, floors & ceilings are finished, painted & prepped for delivery.

(B) Foundation forming, rebar installation, inspections and concrete pouring take place with the foundation/podium ready to receive the steel modules. All site installed electrical, plumbing, gas, utilities are completed and inspected.

Step 3: Project Completion & Occupancy — Part III

(A) Steel modules are installed on the site and all site-constructed elements go through a final inspection and approval. Minimal site work of joining modules is completed. Floor installation and final paint touch-up take place.

(B) Project is completed & final documents for Certificate of Occupancy are submitted.

Q5: Are AZRIA HOME buildings LEED-Certified?

AZRIA HOME buildings were born out of sustainable design principles. Our clients typically prefer not to bear the additional costs associated with an official LEED Certificate and that savings is passed on to the client. While AZRIA HOME projects are not LEED Certified, these homes employ the same product and performance standards of LEED, Greenpoint and Energy Star compliance/conformance requirements.

Q6: How does AZRIA HOME contract with Clients?

All projects follow the nationwide standard American Institute of Architects (AIA) Contract Documents - A141– 2014 Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Design-Builder.

Q7: Does AZRIA HOME provide financing for the construction of their buildings?

No, but AZRIA HOME works closely with a group of well-respected and fair finance teams who understand the prefab/modular construction process. This familiarity enables efficient processing of Requests for Payment, Inspections and overall Budget Management.

Q8: Who pays for the building permits and fees associated with obtaining a building permit?

All fees associated with the project are the responsibility of the client. AZRIA HOME will process all documentation required to obtain building permits.

Q9: How long does it take, from start to finish, to complete a project and how much does it cost?

After we discuss your project feasibility, we can give a good approximation of your final home costs. Because of the number of variables associated with building construction, we cannot answer with pinpoint accuracy. If I asked you how much a car costs, that's nearly an impossible question to answer, but once you narrow down your options, you'll find that you can be a fully informed consumer; and you'll able to make the best decisions for your property, budget and family. In general, AZRIA HOME projects are approximately 15% to 20% less expensive to build. Projects are completed in less than one half of the time (50% time savings) of traditionally constructed projects. A new home schedule is approximately one year from signing of contract to move-in date.
