For most people, the idea of building their own home as an owner/builder seems like an incredibly daunting task…too complex and time consuming. Yet with the help of construction consultants, more and more people are finding out that it’s easier than they thought and that they can save double-digit percentages off the cost of hiring a construction firm or general contractor to do it for them.
The construction consultants at UBuildIt are industry experts, most of them former builders or contractors, acting as your one-stop destination for homebuilding. You don’t have to know how to build or remodel a home, because they do. Using their experience, consulting tools and industry contacts entirely for their client’s benefit, construction consultants have helped thousands of homeowners successfully complete their projects. Assisting you through every step of the process, from finding loans and land to acquiring permits and top quality subcontractors, they can make your project manageable, make it happen more quickly, and help you take control of your project while saving money throughout the process.
The UBuildIt team will provide you with detailed bids and cost estimates for all phases of your project. If you need stock home plans or want the services of a qualified designer or architect, they can help you find what and whom you need. They will prepare detailed construction calendars at each stage of your construction process, clearly outlining the next task you will need to perform. They visit the job site at strategic points of the building process to answer questions and help you stay assured that the construction work always meets your high standards. If you have any concerns during your construction project, they offer 24-hour phone access as well.
You basically get the best of all worlds: owner control backed by professional experiences, thousands in savings through direct buying, elimination of general contractor mark-ups, efficient use of time and money by avoiding costly mistakes, and smaller loan burdens due to savings and wholesale purchasing. You aren’t obligated to use anyone they recommend and can choose to do as little or as much as you want (pounding nails, painting, laying drywall, etc.) throughout your project. In essence, they work arm in arm with you as the resident expert to ensure a successful project.
While being an owner/builder may not be for everyone, it is certainly gaining increased popularity. For some, the motivation is the financial savings that a homeowner can put into the bank or directly into getting more home for their money (15-25% savings on new home construction and slightly higher for remodeling projects). For others, it is the need for more control as they push the limits of the term “custom”. But, whatever the reason, construction consultants make it a very doable process.
