Will Your Custom Home Offer These Benefits?
Five questions to ask for your future health and comfort
Along with great design and quality construction, most homebuyers want their new home to provide a healthy, comfortable environment and lower energy bills. They want a builder who can ensure those benefits, but many don’t know what questions to ask.
How Much Will It Cost?
Home pricing is a complex subject. Here’s how we answer the most common question.
One question we get a lot is “What’s the per-square-foot cost of your homes?” Some potential clients come with numbers they found on the internet.
Better than Remodeling
Is it better to build a new home or remodel an older one?
No one will be surprised to hear us argue that building a new home is a better choice than remodeling, just as a remodeling contractor would argue the opposite.
So, with our professional bias disclosed, here are some objective reasons why we believe buying a new home provides greater benefits than remodeling.
How to Check References
Some tips for getting the most from this important step
Most builders are happy to provide a list of people for whom they have recently built homes. They encourage prospective clients to call these references and ask about their experience and level of satisfaction.
Safety First
Professional builders do what is needed to keep everyone out of harm’s way
There’s no getting around it: construction can be a hazardous job. We say “can be” because professional builders respect those hazards and equip and train their workers to mitigate safety issues as much as possible. By doing so, professional builders protect their businesses and their clients from liability.
Maintain Your Budget
When building a new home, controlling costs is the key to staying within budget
It’s safe to say no one likes cost overruns or unpleasant surprises on a project. New home construction is no exception. As a professional builder, we understand how critical it is to establish and maintain a budget that everyone can rely on from groundbreaking to the final walk-through.
Investing in Quality
The least expensive option may not be the best value.
Choosing a home builder based on the lowest cost per square foot or the lowest sales price may not provide the best value. For an investment so important to your family’s future, the least expensive option can be a risky bet.
