Why Build New Instead of Buying Old?
Consider and buy--the purchase of an exiting house may be the acquisition of a choice and a problem awareness as well as the old systems of the other people. You may fall in love with the neighbourhood only to become frustrated by leaking roof or small kitchen.
Everything is different with the development of new homes.
Fresh, Efficient, and Modern
A new construction implies that your house is designed with the standards of today. It is more comfortable and the house will pay less monthly bills because of better insulation, smarter HVAC, and energy savings windows. Nothing like drafts, or endless repairs- a home that works smarter.
DesignedAround You
Today families do not live the way they were many decades ago. We desire open kitchens in which we cook and talk, home offices that (actually) work and space outside which expands our living rooms. New ones won't be add-ons when you create it, but they will be included in the design.
Peace of Mind
Warranty is one of the greatest advantages of new construction that is very much disregarded. Should any of your big systems or finishes be found to malfunction, you are insured. Equate that with purchasing a resale home where you might be liable to having to replace a furnace or plumbing on the new home a few months after moving in.
The Advantage of a Custom Home Builder
By making a selection of a custom home builder, you make a choice of flexibility. The design is influenced by your ideas, preferences and lifestyle.
Your Home, Your Way
Perhaps you have always longed to have a sunroom where you can drink your coffee in morning sunlight, or a mudroom where your children can drop the backpacks and athletic gear. These are not spurious items that go through a custom build- they were thought out as part of the design.
Smart Spending
Never never presuppose that custom is always costly. At Greenport Construction we work with families to reconcile their lists of desires and realistic budgets. We will also demonstrate where every extra penny counts in the long run (in the kitchen and bathroom) and where your budget won't be compromised.
Examples: A recent customer was interested in having hard-wood floors in the entire house but was forced to remain on top of a budget. We combined hard wood in the main living rooms with high quality engineered in the bedrooms. The result? Elegant, practical, and pocket friendly.
When a Luxury Home Builder Makes Sense
To a certain homeowners, nice is not enough and they need to experience something extraordinary in their home. this is where Luxury Home Builder comes.
Details That Matter
Luxury houses are concerned with artistry. Custom cabinets to imported tile, it is about details and materials that take the space up. Not only do these touches amazingly look good, they tend to better resist the passage of time than the standard finishes.
Lifestyle That Reinvents This.
This means that you can use the bath of a master apartment like a spa get-away, and professional quality utility in the kitchen hosting family dinners. There are also luxurious features such as wine cellars, home theater or outdoor resourced style living features.
Collaborative Design
Luxury building has not only to do with size but with vision. At Greenport, we collaborate with architects and designers in order to make the home a representation of beauty and practicality. It is the difference between that house that you liked very much and the house that you enjoy staying.
Understanding the Costs
Discussion about money matters is essential- and the new construction project can cost widely depending on your desires.
The Basics
Custom homes: $150-$250 per sq. ft.
Luxury homes: $300-$500+ per sq. ft.
Cost depends on a number of factors:
Land prep: There are some lots that need utility setup or clearing.
Granted materials: Cheap finishes and high-end enhancements.
Design: Labor and materials have complexity added later.
Options: Pool, outdoor kitchen, and smart technology are expensive additions but will bring a payback price to the long-term.
Long-Term Savings
Although initial investment cost will be more as compared to purchasing an old house, the life savings are tangible. New homes translate into reduced repairs, reduced utility bills and resale value in the future.
How Long Does New Home Construction Take?
The important thing is to wait--but the payoff will be good. Under normal circumstances most houses require 10-16 months until completion, depending on the size and toughness.
