HOME CONSTRUCTION COST & ESTIMATING

ESTIMATIONS FOR NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION IN ARIZONA.

BUILDING A NEW CONSTRUCTION HOME CAN BE A VERY ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE OR IT CAN BE SOMETIMES THE ENDLESS MONEY PIT BECAUSE OF BAD PLANNING.

THE BEST ADVISE THAT I CAN GIVE TO SOMEONE IS TO TALK WITH AN EXPERIENCED BUILDER AND DISCUSS YOUR VISIONS OF A COMPLETED HOME. THIS WILL ELIMINATE THE SHOCK OF BUILDING COST. EVERYDAY I AM ASKED IF I CAN BUILD A HOME FOR XYZ PER SQUARE FOOT PRICE? THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT APPROACH TO BUILDING A HOME.

WE OFFER A WIDE RANGE OF CLIENT OPTIONS FOR PRE-PLANNING AND DESIGN HELP, AT A VERY LOW HOURLY RATE.

DESIGN ESTIMATES, IS A WAY TO GET A VERY GOOD IDEA OF COST DURING THE FIRST STAGE OF PLANNING AND PRELIMINARY DRAWINGS. THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO START WHAT I CALL A PRE-CONSTRUCTION BUDGET. THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO SEE IF THE DIRECTION OF THE PROJECT IS GOING TO FIT WITH-IN ONES BUDGET. UNLESS MONEY OR BUDGETS ARE OF NO CONCERN.

BID ESTIMATES ARE WHEN THE PRELIMINARY DRAWINGS ARE COMPLETE AND AT THIS TIME SOME REAL HARD NUMBERS CAN BE OBTAINED. THIS IS THE POINT IN TIME WHEN A SCOPE OF WORK, WHICH IS THE BOOK THAT HAS ALL THE SPECIFICATIONS AND FINISHES CALLED TO PLACE. ** THE BOOK ** IS THE GUIDE TO THE WHOLE PROCESS. THIS IS WHAT MAKES A PROJECT GO SMOOTH OR GO OUT OF CONTROL.

THIS IS HOW WE DO OUR PROJECT COSTING, AND OR PROJECT MANAGEMENT ESTIMATING. EVERY HOME AND OR LIFE STYLE IS DIFFERENT, SO WHEN IT COMES TO PRICES BY THE SQUARE FOOT, BE CAREFUL.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS OUR SERVICES PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US.
WE ENJOY OFFERING HELP TO OWNER BUILDERS, AND OR HELPING WITH JUST ESTIMATING PROJECTS, WE STAY CURRENT ON COSTS AND PRICING AS WE ARE A BUILDING COMPANY TOO. OUR ESTIMATES COME COMPLETE WITH LINE ITEM COST WITH UP TO 3 OR MORE QUOTE PER LINE AND ARE ACCEPTED BY EVERY BANK THAT WE KNOW OF.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT!

WE HAVE BEEN AROUND THE VALLEY FOR OVER 14 YRS WITH THE SAME PHONE NUMBER.

WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH SOME OF THE SAME SUB CONTRACTORS FOR 12 PLUS YEARS, THIS INSURES THAT OUR PRODUCT CONTINUES TO HAVE EXPERIENCED WORKERS ON THE JOB.

WHEN IT COMES TO A HANDS ON COMPANY, WE STILL DO A LARGE AMOUNT OF WORK, ( ALL OF OUR CONCRETE WORK, MASONRY WORK, TILE AND STONE WORK, FRAMING AND INTERIOR TRIM ). THIS IS WHERE WE CAN SAVE COST TO THE BUDGET. WE STILL BID OUT EACH OF THOSE FIELDS, BUT IT IS A WAY FOR BUDGET CONTROL AND COST CONTROL.

PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT IS THAT OUR COMPANY HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY ACTIVE ON THE JOB. YOU ARE DEALING DIRECTLY WITH THE OWNER, I PERSONALLY WORK AS YOUR PROJECT MANAGER AND FIELD SUPERVISOR, I WEAR MANY HATS. THIS ALLOWS FOR DECISIONS TO BE MADE IN REAL TIME, WHICH SAVES MONEY.

OUR COMPANY DOESN'T HAVE A FANCY OFFICE, BUT WE STILL CONSIDER OURSELVES AS ONE OF THE BEST BUILDERS IN THE VALLEY. WE HAVE ALL THE SAME CONTACTS AS MOST AND ACTUALLY HAVE A FEW THAT THEY CANT OFFER.

IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING THE GREAT EXPERIENCE OF BUILDING A CUSTOM HOME PLEASE CONSIDER GETTING A QUOTE FROM US.

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY,
