How a Reservation & Payment Schedule Works in Gulf Coast New Construction


I’m Meredith, your Gulf Coast real estate advisor. Below is a clear example of how a reservation and payment schedule can work for a new construction development on the coast. Every developer has their own process and documents, so consider this a helpful guide, not a substitute for your specific contract. This walk-through also assumes a cash buyer. If you’re using financing, the flow usually tracks the same milestones through a construction-to-permanent (C2P) loan with lender-funded draws.

Ono Island Permitting & Bridge Impact Fees: What I Tell My Buyers and Sellers



As a homeowner on Ono Island — https://www.searchthegulf.com/ono-island/ and a real estate advisor focused on Orange Beach — https://www.searchthegulf.com/orange-beach/ and the surrounding waterways, I guide owners through the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) permitting steps and the Road & Bridge Impact Fees that fund wear-and-tear from construction traffic. Getting this right keeps your project moving and prevents costly delays.

Below is the straightforward flow I use when I’m mapping a project—whether it’s a new ICF build, a pool, or a boathouse on Old River, Bayou St. John, or the canals.

Stem Wall vs. Monolithic Slab Foundations on the Gulf Coast


When you’re building along the Gulf Coast, the foundation is one of the most important structural choices you’ll make. Conditions vary from lot to lot — from the higher elevations of Ono Island — https://www.searchthegulf.com/ono-island/ to the flatter areas of Orange Beach — https://www.searchthegulf.com/orange-beach/ and Gulf Shores — https://www.searchthegulf.com/gulf-shores/.
