WB Download - Episode 16 The Cost of Building a House
Why the heck are the prices to build a home so high?
Everything costs more and we are receiving the same exact thing and it’s not just in the building industry. In today’s podcast Jeff explains the cost of building a house and what drives the rising prices. We all need to understand and have an expectation of what the cost of a home really is before we can say it’s too expensive. It’s important for customers to have an honest discussion with your builder and know your budget. Customers need to have an understanding of the home costs. Jeff gives a detailed explanation of the home costs so customers can better understand the pricing. There are many necessities/factors that drive the cost of the home and Jeff discusses them in detail; the land, materials, labor, site specific expenses and additional expenses. There are several ways Wieland Builders passes savings on to their customers. Those would include Buying Groups for material savings, paying invoices early and taking advantage of discounts. Working with our trades to improve efficiencies, communication and reviewing all expenses closely.
Jeff also explains the differences between a Track Builder and a Custom Home Builder. There are many differences, advantages and disadvantages for both. Advantages of a track builder is you now the costs upfront, disadvantage is you have a standard plan with minimal selections, freedom in changing the design and the materials used are usually standard grade. Advantages of a custom builder is you start with a blank slate, you get what you want because everything is customized for you; unique specifications, dimensions and design selections. The materials used are high quality. The disadvantage to using a custom builder is the exact cost is unknown upfront. They will be known after the architectural plans are completed and when the bids/costs are received from the professional trades.
As a custom builder, Wieland Builders protects you and your money along the way while building a home with the highest quality.
