Custom Buildings
Custom buildings are based on
photographs, measurements
and
color
schemes
provided by you (blueprints are always acceptable). When
photographing
your project, take pictures of all sides and shots of
certain details such as
doors or ornate windows as well as a long shot
showing roof detail and chimney
placement.
You can never provide too many pictures!
Measurements need to be drawn out as they would be on
a
blueprint, showing width and depth of the building.
Pricing
Each building is priced on an individual basis with a starting rate of 9 cents (.09) per scale square foot for the first floor and all additional floors at 6 cents (.06) per scale square foot. For example, a 30' x 40' two story house would be 1200 square feet. 1200 x .09 = $108.00 and 1200 x .06 = 72.00. Thus, the total base cost for your home on your layout is $180.00. There is a minimum charge of $50.00 plus shipping for all buildings.
Procedure:
- You provide the photographs and the measurements
- The Railroad Crossing sends you a scale drawing based on the photographs as well as a contract (the model will be built from the drawings)
- You approve the drawings by your initials, answer any questions about the building, sign the contract, enclose a check or money order for 50% of the building cost and return it to The Railroad Crossing in the provided mailer.
- The Railroad Crossing will return the completed building to you within thirty (30) days of our receiving the contract and deposit. (Some larger projects may take longer than thirty (30) days)
