The Advantage of a "Single-Source" Builder
Tested and proven work, products, and materials
As a professional builder, we understand the importance of meeting or exceeding the expectations of our clients. We stay current with trends in unique residential design, technology and construction assemblies. We offer choices that fit each client's budget and lifestyle. At the same time, we commit to high quality standards—both for our work and for the components we use to build each new home—while keeping the budget and schedule in check.
To achieve these goals, we have to be choosy about the materials and products we recommend.
Occasionally, a homebuyer may suggest something that’s not in our package of standard, upgraded, or optional products. We’re open to new and better ideas, but sometimes these products and materials don’t meet expectations for lasting performance and cost-efficiency.
To better understand the value of our role in offering a market-savvy selection of finishes, products, and materials for new homes, consider the following questions and answers.
Q: My builder insists that I choose products and finishes by a certain date after signing the contract. Why is it so critical to meet those deadlines?
A: Making product selections early in the construction process, often before your home is started, allows us to be sure that the products are awailable and will get to the job site on time. Coordinating vendors, trade contractors and completing systems design requires lead time. When the client chooses products & aids in completing systems design on time, we can keep the project on schedule.
Q: Why does my builder charge more for the same faucet I found online for less?
A: A builder’s cost is more than just the price of an item. It may include the cost to ship, install, and service it, and a nominal markup to cover overhead costs, insurance, storage, and profit. For all the products and systems in a home, we assume certain risks and costs on your behalf.
To give reliable assurances and properly install and support the products and features of your new home, we must coordinate every aspect of the construction process. We strive to provide plenty of choices, based on extensive market analysis and years of experience in offering the most valuable commodity of all: your peace of mind.
