“What’s the difference between your Owner-Builder approach and your Turnkey custom home building program?”

Most of our clients have never built a custom home on their own. For some, it’s a job they’ll love for the next year or so. For others, it’s a bit too much. There are benefits both ways. This clip gives you a few things to consider when trying to decide between Turnkey solution or the Owner-Builder approach. 

“Is a construction loan the same as a mortgage?”

The short answer is no. You don’t normally go to your mortgage broker for a construction loan when you’re building a custom home. Going to the right place for construction loan will save you a lot of time and headache. See this clip for a quick review of the fundamentals.

“How much does HomeWrights markup the building materials?”

Zero. When you select our Owner-Builder approach, everything is transparent. You’ll know exactly what prices you pay for materials and appliances and services because you”ll be paying those bills yourself. There is no middleman with this do-it-yourself system. There is no markup when YOU are the general contractor. Bob Hinz gives you an overview of how we eliminate the middleman in this short video.

“I’m an extremely organized person and I like to plan things out but I’ve never built a birdhouse let alone a custom home. Can I really do this?”

A good general contractor has strong organizational skills. Sounds like you’re half way there. The next thing is your communication skills. Can you be clear, respectful and when you need to be, be firm (and still respectful)?

Do you have a clear vision of what your dream home can be? If you can be thoughtful, respectful, planful, and willing to commit to having the home of your dreams, then you can be your own general contractor. But don’t do it alone. Put the HomeWrights team in your back pocket and we’ll be there with you every step of the way. By the way, even a nice birdhouse needs a plan.

“There are so many home builders in Denver. How do I decide who to hire? What makes HomeWrights Custom Homes different?  

There are semi-custom home builders, luxury home builders, and traditional custom home builders all over the Denver area. And there are plenty of good ones to choose from. Like any business decision, do your homework, check references, review their work and you’ll probably make a good decision. But at HomeWrights we see it this way: Don’t hire a contractor, be the contractor! There are no new home builders who will care as much about the quality of the work and the budget you have to live within, than you.

You need to have certain skills to build a custom home but you don’t need to know how to do everything to be a good general contractor. With HomeWrights, you have choices. We can do the turnkey custom home approach and build your new home just the way you like it while you go about your life or you can choose the Owner-Builder approach and let HomeWrights be your home-building partner. You become the general contractor and we become your resource, your coach, your experienced partner in the building process.
