Lake Norman Real Estate: I own my own lot, how can I save on building a home?

Saving a lot of money while building a home on your own lot

In the present economy EVERYBODY is looking for new ways to save money. In this low point, businesses and industries are finding new, innovative ways to market themselves and reduce overhead so they can maximize profitability. In the auto industry, manufactures are starting to invest their money on energy effecient vehicles as rising energy costs have changed demand. Real Estate and Building is seeing a similar trend.

I have recently teamed up with Lake Norman Custom Builder, Greg Fisher promoting a new hybrid building program which focuses on getting clients into a house that they wouldn't normally be able to afford using a full service contract. I have not seen any other programs like this out there and it is unique to the Lake Norman area. Greg has already finished 2 homes using this program, saving the clients hundreds of thousands of dollars. Using this program, you are simply building the home "along with" an experienced custom general contractor. To put it into simple terms, it is a cross between a full service contract and building the home yourself.

The negative aspect of building a home under a full service contract is the high price that you will pay a builder. The negative aspect of building a home on your own is having a lack of experience, the inability to sell within 2 years because of tax purposes, and not having a recommended subcontractor base.

This hybrid program is designed to overcome all of these pitfalls and deliver our client into a quality built home at a reasonable cost.

Please see the Lake Norman Hybrid Building Program links for more details.

Lake Norman Real Estate: Want to save hundreds of thousands on your next custom home?

New Hybrid Home Building Program Introduced to the Lake Norman Area

DK Construction has introduced a new building program that consolidates the strengths of a full service construction contract and owner/builder programs. Greg Fisher, NC General Contractor and Project Manager, points out the problems of owner/builder programs, such as obtaining favorable financing, managing subs, hands on management, and the requirement to hold the house for 2 years before you can sell it. By contrast, those seeking a full service contract will be subjected to the high cost of doing business.

A hybrid construction program was developed to take the best of both programs and help people get the best product at the lowest price. A flat fee of $12 per square foot is charged to the owner. A DK Construction general contractor pulls the building permit, provides cost estimates, manages the job, provides all sub contractors and oversees all county inspections. The home owner acts as a superintendent, aiding in scheduling and paying all bills. The end result is that a quality home is built with huge savings. For example, under this program, local home owners have built high end homes in the $118 to $155 per square foot range. As comparison, most full service contracts in this market are priced at over $200 per square foot.

Home owners are not required to have construction experience. DK Construction’s general contractors provide the required experience and consultation to keep the job on track and eliminate costly mistakes; however, homeowners need to allocate an average of 1 hour a day to keep on top of their responsibilities.

With real estate changing, buyers need to buy at wholesale prices to help maintain 80% Loan to Value and protect their equity. This hybrid program does this and much more! For more information, contact Jeremy Adair @ 704.315.8106 or visit www.CharlotteAreaNewConstruction.com.
