FAQ

This is one of the most tricky questions that a Homebuilder can be asked. It’s so interesting that in no other industry on earth does anybody really ask this question about the price per unit. For example no one has ever asked Ferrari what the cost per pound is when they build a car. Just like nobody has ever asked Ford what’s the price per pound? Is when they build the Ford focus. These two cars weigh about the same amount, but the cost per pound is considerably different. It all has to do with the fit and finish of the car. The same is true for a Homebuilder when they are building a home. Two of the most expensive components are the foundation of the home in the roof. If you’re building a 3000 ft.² home that’s one story then you have 3000 ft.² of both the foundation and the roof. But if you are building a two-story, that is the same square footage then your total size of your foundation and roof are cut in half thus drastically affecting your cost per square foot. Most customers really want to ask are you gonna offer me the most bang for the buck that I can get. The unequivocal answer to this question when you ask our company is yes, yes and yes.
