Once the building is built, the owner will be given a pre-determined amount to go into your space and fill it in with cabinets, flooring, appliances, bathrooms etc. This amount is likely far less than what the actual cost will be (because they will use the original spec of construction meaning possibly pricing for older style products such as laminate countertops, carpet flooring and pre fab showers for example.The owner should carry an HO6 policy to cover this gap should there be a loss.

Hilton Head Transfer Fee Details
Around 30 years ago, Hilton Head Island established a land buying and parks reserve fund, which is financed by a transfer fee charged on every property sale that takes place on the island. This initiative has been very effective in acquiring properties that would have otherwise been developed, which could have led to increased traffic and congestion on the island. A significant portion of the land purchased has been designated as nature preserves, while the rest has been converted into the wonderful parks that we enjoy on the island today.
