Great video! This was so informative! Keep them coming! :-)
Thank you so much Rebekah! We have a lot of great content coming out in the coming weeks!
First time in my UA-cam history i did not just screenshot, i literally paused, rewind as necessary, and took NOTES! Detailed notes! Subscribed.
Me too!!
We had Lowe’s do our remodel, what a mistake! The linoleum in the bathroom and laundry room was laid over the old stuff and gas made it rise. Their solution was to cut slits in it to release gas. We said no, come back and do it the right way. Our bamboo flooring was laid and the expansion trim was glued down, but we paid to have it nailed in place. The trim kept popping off. I finally called their contractor and said you were paid to nail it down, come back and do it right. The granite was fantastic. This was a home we were selling, it’s currently valued $875k
Having viewed this 2 years ago.. and having now been through 2 years of battling out costs, I would say you need to produce a whole segment on just how to arrive at the right budget! House plans, different contractors, material markup ALL DIFFER FOR THE SAME AREA. We did the online estimations for one house.. 2200 SF single story.. Online estimates came in at $490K for our area - using several different estimators. So, we then took those specs and went to contractors.. Over $700K? Yikes. IF we had put out for a bank note for that estimated online amount.. we would've been had! The big(est) reasons these were SO off.. 1.) subcontractors in our region were nearly TRIPLE in some cases.. from what online said was "worst case", 2.) Contractor material markup is a BIG deal.. don't ignore that.. you may have built your material budget based on "big box" product costs.. which will NOT work for contractors, 3.) Contractors will NOT build with what they consider sub quality materials.. and so they send you to a "design center".. where the least expensive options are 2 - 3X What you put in the budget!, 4.) Type of house plan you choose can really be MUCH, MUCH higher in cost to build.. and some contractors can't build certain types of houses proficiently or cheaply. (BTW, the architect we used for the initial budgeting process was also way off the high side.. and didn't explain to us accurately enough.. what to do to reduce cost (talk a $1K down the drain!))
So.. all that long winded to say: we finally went to a contractor that took one of their "custom homes" (where they knew the base cost).. used their cost plus models for the changes.. and even with that kind of work.. we still were 20% higher then we had initially planned on.. and we cut out 80% of our "wish list" to achieve this! SO.. While this video is somewhat helpful, you probably should advise people in more comprehensive video covering HOW TO PROPERLY BUDGET to avoid these kinds of pitfalls.. what to expect when working with contractors - especially! Thanks!
The amount of value that you provided in this video is INSANE! Honestly, the best video I have came across yet! This has been so great, thank you for this.
One thing some people do not take into account is how much the property taxes are going to be when the home is finished. I have heard of many stories of how the people could not afford that expense and had to sell their new home.
My Pinterest board is ready for me to win the lottery so I can build my mansion 😂
😂😂 Good luck idk about Pinterest for me but hoping for that same luck
It's like I just went through a whole class. Thank you so much!
I’m in this process, and it has been frustrating than many Profesionista don’t follow a clear path like the one you propose. Some minutes of your video have summarized 2 years of personal experience. Thank you!!!!
I know this is video is a few years old, but this has really helped me with my process for buying a lot and building a custom home. Thanks a lot, I avoided a ton of pitfalls!
My father is my builder and architect…feel blessed im getting almost all my house at cost …🙏🥰
So helpful! Thank you, so much!
Wow!! So much information in this video! We have purchased our land, chosen our builder, and will be meeting with our architect (who is used by our builder) in a couple of weeks! This provided so much information on the process after the next step! Thank you for breaking it down and taking your time in explaining. Much appreciated!
Thank you for the detailed breakdown, great video!
This is incredibly helpful. Thank you so much!

I haven’t closed on my land yet (just learned the land surveyor is booked for the next 6 weeks) but I’m getting a jump start on learning as much as I can. The goal is to start building in the next 2 years. I appreciate this video!!
Did you start building?

Thank you! I wish we was moving to Texas!! Great information, We are moving to Rocky Mount NC, do have anyone you can recommend us?
Thank you for taking the time, i feel much better informed after watching this! I’m quite late to this video, and i think the links you have are expired or something, as i am unable to download the files. May you reply with updated ones please ?
This was sooooo informative! Why they don’t teach this in schools!!!
Thank you, we are glad you found our video helpful!
Great tips! We are enjoying watching your videos. Question: In a fixed cost custom-built contract, with price increase clause, how do we access that the price increase is genuinely calculated by builder? In other words, how can expect transparency?
Thank you! We are so happy that you enjoy our videos.
The best informative video by far. I am closing on a slightly slope land. My question if you dont mind is, do the builders hire a subcontractor for the foundation? or do they complete the foundation themself... plz advice
Typically builders will hire a contractor to "turnkey" the foundation. Turnkey means the builder would hire one subcontractor who would perform all of the tasks needed to complete the foundation. Most builders will handle it this way because 1) it's easier for them and 2) it shift the liability of any issues with the foundation to the subcontractor
Instead of physically driving to your prospective area, you can use Google Maps at the time of when you think you would leave home and adjust the starting point.
Great info - but the checklists are unusable. I need a way to d/l and print - can't do that. 😒
You said that you’re a Houston home builder. We have a lot in Montgomery County near Egypt. Do you work that far north?
Awesome video. I was going to buy a house but I am more inclined towards building custom. Just don't know where to go first
First drive the area where you want to build. Visit any open houses. Take down names of custom builders in the area with active projects, then call them and schedule a meeting to walk through any finished houses, talk pricing (to confirm they are within your budget) and meet with as many as you can. That's step one. Feel free to email me any questions directly at dgordon@aspirefinehomes.com once you're finished interviewing them.
Fantastic. Thank you so much. This is helpful
Very helpful, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Do you all service DFW area or Cedar Hill, TX or cities surrounding Dallas? Or do you recommend a custom builder in these areas? I’m trying to figure out where to build. Thanks!
Would you take this approach if you are doing a major remodel of existing home?
I would especially for a remodel. Partnering with a builder and an architect during the design phase is one of the only ways to be able to design your remodel to a budget. Finishing the design on the remodel and then bidding it out will typically end in a disappointment by being way over budget. Hope this helps!
Do you have floor plans to look at? Do you recommend buying things yourself? Will you still need a build loan if not getting a loan?
Can you make a video talking in detail about how to find a builder.
I am going to hire a independent builder to custom build my house. This video helps me to get to know in this field a lot. I will need tons of details about hiring someone to build my custom made house.. please help.Thanks a bunch 🙏
