The following is a common scenario that a homeowner is faced with:
ANONYMOUS HOMEOWNER'S APPROACH
- Homeowner sketches a "design" on a back of a napkin. If is often hard to read and frustrates the HOA board members.
- Homeowner attends the HOA board meeting in the hopes of getting an approval from the board.
- When it is his or her time, the homeowner attempts to describe, in accurate detail, his or her expectations of what the building/landscape contractor plans to build.
- Generally, the homeowner is not an expert in construction and cannot answer a majority of the board's technical questions. By the end of the night, the homeowner and HOA board may become frustrated and upset.
- As a result, the project fails to be approved.
- The HOA board suggests that the homeowner go back and revise the project so they can better understand the proposed scope of work and/or make it meet the standard covenants and codes of the area. This is information that would have already been addressed with a helping hand from Outdoor Design Group.
