Estimates, Not Guesstimates - Home Builders in Hendersonville

Building a custom home is a very personal and emotional experience, and a very exciting one! It is also a major investment in money and time, and the process can be rigorous. Certainly, it is our goal that the adventure of building your new home with Providence Custom Homes in Hendersonville North Carolina and WNC is a positive and enriching experience. With that in mind, we are convinced that one of the most important things we can do, at the very beginning, is to create a detailed, realistic estimate of the cost of building your new home in Western North Carolina, whether it is in Hendersonville or Asheville. As custom home builders, we strongly believe in spending the upfront time getting to know your visions for your new home, taking detailed measurements from your plans and doing the research to come up with some realistic numbers to help you plan and make decisions.

Home Builders often get the question, “What is the approximate square foot price to build a home in Western North Carolina?” For a custom home, there is no quick or standard answer. Each custom home is different because the owners are different. Not only are the plans different, but the owners have different budgets, different preferences of materials and products and functionalities they want in their home. And, the lot must be considered -- is it a flat, or does the home need to be built on a slope, thereby markedly changing the foundation? What are the preferences for roofing, window types, cabinetry and built-ins, ceiling heights, flooring, energy efficient products, and the list goes on. After an initial interview, Providence Custom Homes in Hendersonville NC gives our potential clients a questionnaire that helps us learn more details about their new home-to-be, then we begin the work of pulling together a detailed break down of material and labor costs. This may take us several weeks, but proves to be invaluable in the long run.

As Providence home builders of Hendersonville NC build your home... this detailed estimate will be our “financial plan” for your home throughout the building process. Providence Custom Homes will plan periodic meetings with you to review “where we are” – what areas are we under budget, right on, or over budget. We can help you make adjustments and the numbers give you valuable information in making the many choices and decisions you have to make along the way. As professional Home Builders, we are committed to carefully managing your budget and saving you money wherever possible. We are here to coach you in decisions based on our experience, and to help make sure you are getting the best value for your money in WNC, Hendersonville, and Asheville.

Being surprised with large overages at the completion of your custom home is the biggest reason for that “less than happy” feeling when you walk through your new front door. We want you to be able to say, “Wow, this has been a lot of work, but very exciting, and one of the best experiences we have ever had!”
