What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beehive Homes FDD, franchisees will be required to build their Beehive Homes in accordance with the architectural and design specifications provided by Beehive Homes. These specifications are generally determined by the trade dress and uniformity standards of the franchise, and specifically by the location chosen by the franchisee.
The FDD states that these specifications will be provided to the franchisee after they sign the Franchise Agreement. Additionally, Beehive Homes will provide general architectural and design drawings for the Home to submit to the franchisee's architect for rendering, and to provide an itemization of all equipment and supplies to be used in the operation of the Home.
It is the franchisee's responsibility to engage an architect and engineer to prepare the final specifications and drawings, including necessary stamps and certifications, for approval by local government agencies and Beehive Homes prior to construction. Beehive Homes will provide assistance and guidance in negotiating construction, equipment, and supply contracts, but the franchisee is solely responsible for the terms of all contracts and exercising adequate supervision.
