Even though the shortest distance between two points is a straight line,
you still need a map to keep you going the right direction. |
If you are building from the ground up, finding the right piece of land is definitely the first step. Carolina Builder can offer a 'builder’s eye view' of your lot, or perspective lot, and since we’ve been here a while, we can even point you toward a good development or realtor (if you are still in the market).... From Franklin to Highlands, Asheville to Newbern, Georgia to North Carolina!

Blue Prints
So what about plans? There are many companies who offer pet floor plans and try to create signature designs (and there are many who do a good job...don’t get me wrong). But our approach is a bit different. The fact is, if you can picture what you want, we can make it real...and if your not sure, we’ll design it for you! Whether it’s a conventional house design, log cabin, Timber frame, cabinet design, or renovation. We use “Chief Architect” design software and a good old- fashioned pencil. Which gives us the tremendous advantage of three dimensional project drawings, and easy plan modification with a hand drawn feel.
BUT if you already have an Architect, (which is good) or your own plan, then you are already ahead of the game. Let’s put some numbers to it! |

The Estimate
A significant project is often like an investment. If you plan to invest your hard earned savings, you would surly want to account for every dollar! That’s why we prefer to estimate every stick and nail and typically shy away from the usual “square foot” method (though some projects can be similar, I rarely see 2 exactly the same).
What good is a road map if it doesn’t take you where you want to go? We have spent gobs of time collaborating material data bases, and storing project data to provide estimates that are precise, reliably realistic and unique to each project. And when we are done, you have a complete labor & material budget plan, complete with a bar chart schedule which can be tracked as the project progresses!
So even if you’re not sure how it’s all going to work out yet, we’d love to prepare a free estimate for you to help it along. We use comprehensive UDA estimation and project tracking software coupled with “Quick books” accounting software, so there’s nothing we can’t budget! |
