What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beehive Homes' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Beehive Homes is not liable for any agreements pertaining to the construction of the Home. The franchisee is solely responsible for engaging their own architects, attorneys, contractors, and other advisors to prepare final plans, construct improvements, and obtain all required permits and licensing.
Beehive Homes will provide general architectural and design drawings as guidelines for the Home's trade dress, including elevations, floor plans, and the number of beds. However, any changes to these guidelines require Beehive Homes' prior written approval. Beehive Homes will also provide an itemization of all furnishings, equipment, and supplies to be used in the operation of the Home.
This means that the franchisee bears the full responsibility for managing and financing the construction process, ensuring compliance with local regulations, and securing all necessary permits. While Beehive Homes offers design guidelines and specifications, the franchisee must manage the construction project and will be held responsible for all construction-related agreements.
