In the meantime, for your reference here is some of what goes into the process of choosing the right builder for your custom home:
How choosing the right builder can save you money
Savvy homeowners are realizing the cost-effectiveness and the value that results by bringing a well matched builder into the project early on . Costly revisions or up-charges due to misinterpretations, ad -hoc approach, lack of familiarity with the project, lack of experience with certain design styles or unfamiliarity with county regulations, conflicts from different communication styles and unnecessary stress is avoided resulting in a smoother custom building process – ultimately saving the client time, money and peace of mind.
Seeking multiple bids from numerous builders is now considered unnecessary and time-consuming. The most affordable builder is often not the best builder, so instead of comparing quotes up front it’s wise to consider the quality of work, the materials used and the skills required to do the job effectively and efficiently. This is going to avoid headaches and lead to tremendous money-saving opportunities in the long run.
The Team Approach also brings added value in the form of more accurate and comprehensive estimates for the finished home in the planning stages.
The right builder will work together to help you, the homeowner, realize your dream home within a budget that is realistic to your needs and goals.
The Team Approach Mentality
We work with builders who have a team approach mentality. They are happy to collaborate with us as we are with them. We know that better harmony between the us and the builder means greater success of the overall project.
The right builder can help bring you ease, comfort, enjoyment and peace of mind.
