Part 5- How To Have A Successful Custom Home Building Experience?
5. Minimize Homeowner Stress.
What if the Owners could just sit back and enjoy watching their dream home become a reality knowing how much their home is going to cost and not run around making last minute decisions?
Tom, the Builder called and said, I need to select all my appliances today so they can be ordered or our home will be delayed for a month? You can just imagine the stress the Owner is feeling in this instance. Building a Custom Home doesn’t have to be this way.
Instead, while your home plans are being designed the Owner works with the Interior Designer and makes all the decisions before you even sign the contract for construction. There is a preliminary meeting with the Builder’s Interior Designer to understand what type of finishes you would like included in your home. The Designer goes off to visit all the Builder’s suppliers, returns with samples, then provides a room by room presentation of everything that you would like to have included in your home. Tile, carpet, cabinets, appliances, counter tops, paint colors, ceiling treatments etc. Everything to make a house a home and what they cost. Perhaps, this may take 2-3 meetings to get everything just right but it sure beats running all over town for weeks and weeks trying to remember what you selected at the flooring company 2 months ago. All the appointments are displayed at one time so you know just what each room in going to look like when it’s finished. The Builder can include these items in the final contract pricing. If the total exceeds your budget, adjustments can be made before construction commences.
Now that you know what your home is going to look like room by room and how much it’s going to cost to make your dream a reality, its time to sit back and watch the dream materialize. This is the fun part of building. All the tough issues are behind you, relax and enjoy.
Have an awesome day!
