Creating a custom built home can be an exciting and, on occasion, intimidating experience. One of the many reasons consumers in Arkansas are electing to build design build homes is the freedom to create a home that celebrates “The Natural State” utilizing outdoor living areas while removing the intimidating concern of large unexpected expenses. An experienced design-build contractor assists homeowners in creating the home of their dreams by providing a cohesive team that includes the architect, builder, and designer into a single contract with one price. The team works together with the homeowner to assess the cost, value and functionality of each aspect of the home to create a home with exceptional resale value, lower cost for maintenance and utility bills, and unique features to maximize the enjoyment of the land and improve functionality.
Unforeseen Expenses
One of the most significant advantages design-build custom homes offer is the lack of unexpected expenses. This is an advantage that consumers from Arkansas and every other location in which design-build is available can appreciate. Home buyers that choose to build a home utilizing other methods can end up with very large unplanned expenses due to a multitude of factors including problems with permits, weather delays, or preparing the land for a foundation. These types of problems are not unusual in building and are included in the pricing by homebuilders. However, consumers using the design-build method have the reassurance of knowing that overages are usually the responsibility of the contractor instead of the homeowner.
Outdoor Enjoyment
Do you enjoy relaxing in a swing on the front porch or is relaxing in a hot tub off the master suite more your style? Maybe your idea of a good time is enjoying the view while grilling out by the pool. The lakes, streams, mountains and plains of Arkansas offer a variety of outdoor beauty and opportunities to play. The seamless coordination between the construction and design professionals allows for the affordable integration of outdoor living spaces into custom homes. Homeowners in Arkansas can take advantage of the stunning vistas by creating patios, decks and balconies for their home with the design team to maximize the functionality of the space. Additionally, window type and placement can be built into a design-built custom home using modern techniques and sustainable materials to enhance the views while lowering utility costs.
Sound Investment
A design built custom home is an excellent investment that can provide financial returns almost immediately and continue to provide a positive return on investment for the homeowner for the duration of their ownership and into resale. Because the home is new, the homeowner will have fewer maintenance costs than would be involved in keeping an older home in good repair. Year after year utility savings can be reaped by utilizing modern energy efficient appliances, techniques and materials in the construction of the home. The design-build team can advise the homeowner as to important resale considerations to maximize resale value.
Consumers in Arkansas are taking advantage of these and other benefits of design-build when creating their dream homes. Building on land purchased to cater to the homeowners preferences creates exciting opportunities to bring the beauty of the outdoors into the home design.
