Your home is in your hands with “Built-By-Owner". You control the costs, choose the materials and get the guidance you need. Our home building process gives you the best of both worlds — the knowledge and builder experience through Built-By-Owner’s professional consultants, and you in charge.
Built-By-Owner allows you to:
Choose your home plan or design. Access more than 2,000 plans, some right here on our Web site. Whether you need stock plans or want the services of a qualified designer or architect to create a "one-of-a-kind" custom home, Built-
By-Owner can help.
Pick your own land.
Your Built-By-Owner Consultant can work with you to find the land you want or can review your existing property, to ensure compatibility with your project.
Choose your lending source.
Because of Built-By-Owner’s successful track record helping people build their own homes, lenders are more willing to grant loans for your project when you team with us. You can choose the financial package that’s best for you from one of our preferred lenders.
Build Smart Equity, Not Sweat Equity.
Most Built-By-Owner clients find their homes appraise higher than the cost to build or remodel.
That’s money in the bank for you.
Choose the materials.
You can maximize your purchasing power through Built-By-Owner’s Preferred Vendor relationships and take advantage of discounts on high quality materials, appliances and more.
Choose the subcontractors.
You’ll have access to a select group of highly skilled subcontractors, or you can use your own. You could even do some of the work yourself if you want to.
Pay COST for everything without the usual mark-up.
You write the checks directly to the subcontractors and suppliers which often reduces costs. You control the costs, because you control the money.
Have after-hour Phone Access.
Although most questions and issues will be handled during normal business hours, you can feel confident knowing if something urgent does happen, you will have after-hour access to your Built-By-Owner Consultant.
We ensure your success by meeting with you regularly to monitor your project's progress. We prepare detailed construction calendars at each stage of your project, clearly outlining the next tasks you need to perform. We also visit the site regularly (weekly, often daily!) to answer your questions and help ensure the construction work meets your high standards.
You’re in control, and you have the guidance of a Built-By-Owner Consultant — that’s the Built-By-Owner Advantage!
