“My homebuilding experience was a nightmare, I’ll never do that again!”. “My builder was 2 months late in finishing our home and I was forced to rent back from the people who just bought our old home; what a pain!” “Not only wasn’t my home finished on time, it cost my more than $20,000 than my contract said it would; never again!!.”

Unfortunately, these stories are what many hear when contemplating building a home.

We work very hard so you will never hear these kinds of stories coming from Bowering Homes’ customer’s. Our client follow up surveys tell us that getting the house done on time and at the promised price are two of the biggest concerns customers have in deciding to build.

Here is what we do to prevent these kind of nightmares from happening to you:

1. Intimately involved from the outset of the design process, we advise you on the cost impacts of contemplated design changes BEFORE they are get into the final plan.

2. We work with you on sketch paper before going to the architect and can advise on a series of “option” prices beforehand. In many cases we are able to narrow down final pricing to a tight range before we even see the architect.

3. Our specification package is extremely detailed and all encompassing. We insist on reviewing this with you line – by – line so there is no misunderstanding what the expectations are.

4. At the onset of construction, we provide you with our construction selection schedule package. This document lays out all of necessary decorative type decisions you will need to make for your home, where to go to make these selections, and more importantly, when during the construction process we need these decisions. This allows you to comfortably and conveniently make these choices in a leasurely way and allows us time to properly price an “extra” that might be considered before it must be decided upon. Because the timing of decisions directly affects the overall cost, THIS IS PROBABLY THE SINGLEST MOST IMPORTANT DOCUMENT WE USE TO CONTROL COSTS!

5. We take advantage of the long-standing relationships we enjoy with our suppliers and craftsmen. They know what we expect and visa versa. Our reputation as a financially stable builder with over 50 years experience who pays there bills on time and makes sure the jobsite is ready for the next trade allows us the best possible pricing.

6. We are a small, tightly controlled business and do not rely on “volume” to be successful. As such, we are able to respond to customer requests or supply market conditions very quickly. You will be dealing directly with the principals of the company on all matters regarding your home and can take pleasure knowing cost decisions can be made quickly and reliably.
