Planning to buy a lot and build your own Chalet?

 Following are a list of items and costs to consider:

1. Review and understand the Architectural Guidelines, Covenants, and Rules and Regulations for Tiger Run Resort prior to signing a Offer to Purchase Contract. All of the above are conveniently located on our website.

2. Is the lot big enough to accommodate the Chalet you intend to Construct? If adding a Colorado Room or Enclosed Porch, is there enough room? All improvements and roof overhangs can not encroach on the lot's setbacks. Will you have enough room to park 1-2 vehicles comfortably? Need to have a survey completed to answer this question and submit to your General Contractor and Chalet Manufacturer. Survey's cost $475 - $600

3. Does the lot have enough concrete for the Chalet, and Colorado Room (If Any)? If you need to add additional concrete to the existing slab it can add $2,000-5,000 to the project cost at roughly $5.00 per square foot.

4. Will the Electrical Pedestal need to be upgraded for a Chalet and Colorado Room? 150AMPS is required for "Rocky Mountain Chalets", other Chalet Manufacturers may require less (Chariot Eagle, Cavco, etc.). An updated Electrical Pedestal costs $2,000 +/-.

5. Is the current underground electrical pedestal wiring properly sized to accomodate your Chalet's electrical needs? A licensed electrician is needed to verify this information. If not, it may be necessary to bring in a larger wire to accommodate higher AMPS service. This can cost from $2,000-5,000 for new Underground Wiring depending on several factors.

6. Select a Builder/Manufacturer for the Chalet, and Colorado Room (If Any). Kropf, Chariot Eagle, and Cavco and the most common Chalets. Contact Bob Evans for a list of local reps in the area. These Chalets cost approximately $45,000 -$60,000 depending on options, finishes, size, and other ractors.  The quoted price does not include any setup, hookups, decks, etc. 

7. Select a General Contactor ("GC"). The GC puts it all together: from permitting; HOA approvals; decks; skirting; hook-ups; final inspections; and so on;  General Contractors are critical to your project. General Contractor Fees can run $6,000 - $10,000 depending on the scope of work.

8. Submit your Construction Plans to the Tiger Run Homeowners Association for written approval prior to construction. Very Important!!! All requests for site modifications including new construction or modification of existing structures and amenities must first be submitted to the Architectural Review Committee for approval. This submittal must include the properly completed Construction Request Form, a drawing of the proposed improvements and a detailed site plan showing all existing and proposed improvements.

9. Cost of Building Permit – Summit County. $800 -1,500

10. Cost for Colorado Division of Housing Final “Installation Seal”: $300-    $800 Installation Inspection Fee

11. Skirting, anchors, insulation: $3,500 - $5,000 depending on materials used.

12. Decking, stairs: $35 per square foot ++ and up depending on the type of material used.

13. Water Lines and Heat tape: $800- $1,000

14: Painting Contractor for sealing decks, stairs, and skirting: $900 - $1,500 depending on scope of work.

15. Has the Water Riser been replaced by the previous owner? The infrastructure in the park for sites 1-248 is approximately 30 years old. The HOA has found that the original construction for the water risers on lots 1-248 consists of different metals at the connection point (about 8-10 feet below ground) which will eventually cause a failure at the connection point and a subsequent underground water leak. The HOA may begin requiring that the Riser be replaced prior to issuing an approval to build or make improvements/modifications to the site. The estimated cost to replace the water riser is around $3,500 +/- and can vary depending on access to the Riser, soils, landscaping, electrical pedastal, underground cables and pipes, etc. 

All Park Models, Cabins, Chalets and Colorado Rooms entering the resort must be built to meet the Colorado Division Of Housing standards or other standards acceptable to Summit County, which are applicable for that type of unit. Proof of this standard shall be an RPTIA Seal, ANSI Certification Seal, Colorado Division Of Housing Seal or the equivalent seal from a regulatory agency acceptable to Summit County, or plans certified by a State of Colorado licensed engineer.
