Asheville Home Building, Quality not Quantity

Asheville Custom Home Builders, LLC. can design & build a beautiful home for you in Western North Carolina.

Anyone can say $59 a square foot for a brand new home in Asheville North Carolina, but in all reality, this is not accurate. For some reason some clients love to hear that "lowball" number when thinking about building a home. This magic number is nothing more than a starting point to start adding to if you want to construct a real home.

If I were to show you a nice brand new Mercedes Benz and tell you that it is going to cost you only $20,000, your next question should be "What's wrong with it?" There are many factors to think about here. The car may be operational and look good, but where and how was the money saved? It has to be somewhere!

The same goes for when you are building a new home. Companies try to attract clients with low dollar amounts by using the lowest end materials they could find, at the cheapest price. Of course, some big companies get bulk pricing and then the savings sometimes even gets passed down to the end client, but for the most part... you get what you pay for. On top of that, the subcontractors that are used to get this low pricing are working at their bare minimum, making hardly any profit, but at least keeping steady work. Is this the American dream? Working for monster builders who are simply keeping your business afloat when work is slow? Subcontractors quickly get frustrated with this setup and do the lowest quality of work for builders that keep them in this mode. Quality work is valuable and you must be willing to pay a fair price for the work requested.

Not all homes are built the same. We have seen home builders use #3 studs to save a few thousand dollars after they gave a client a low low "unbelievable" price. This is very dangerous. When uninformed clients deal with builders who are working off of the "lowest price" angle, they trap the builder into having to make his livlihood ($) up somewhere. So they get the "cheapest" labor, the "cheapest" lumber, the "cheapest" flooring, and many other "second hand" materials that you as the client will never know about. Eventually, you will have a "cheap" house. A Mercedes with a lawnmower engine. For example: defective old Hardiboard at your local "seconds shop" is half the price of new premium HardiPlank. "Their crew" also does insulation? No thank you! I want a crew where insulation is their main focus and they learn daily how to improve the insulating factor and air flow of my home. I do not want a "cold end or corner of the house" or a mold problem in the near future. There are many ways for builders to "save" money, but it will end up costing you plenty more in the long run.

Asheville Home Builders, serving clients as usual


As a home building professional in Asheville North Carolina, we know that an election year is a slow year for construction. Then you can add all of the economy problems on top of that and it became a really bad year for building. Not that construction was not happening. It was just not moving at the pace many companies in the Asheville area had accustomed themselves to. So when you have a lot of overhead, and clients stop coming, your company goes down. Builders started thinking "lite" once again, started revamping their business philosophy, and increasing their competitive edge.


We did not have a huge amount of projects this year, but we know what the future of Asheville holds and we are settled in that. Clients can come to us for a large array of home options, including log homes, custom timber homes, custom built stick built homes, cabins, townhouses, and more. Our teams are the experts in these categories. Looking for an Asheville Home Builder? We can meet with you and start building the home you desire according to every minute detail we get specified. Contact us for a free consultation in Asheville North Carolina. http://www.ashevillecustomhomebuilders.com/

Asheville Site Updates Coming Soon!

As Asheville Home Builders, we watch the market and act accordingly. Most development and future plans had been put on hold until this market picked back up, the President was chosen, and these Holidays pass. People are nervous about the economy. Planting seeds is what my Asheville team did while the market was slow.

Getting ready to do some updates for our Asheville Custom Home Builders website. We are connecting this blog to us so we can have some Western North Carolina construction interaction. We are also adding a "Resources" page with some of the top links in Asheville. Our "Contact" form will now have a land profile questionairre that we will use to find you a piece of property in Buncombe or the surrounding Counties.

We are very excited about the "market to come" here in Asheville NC. So many people have contacted us with the "waiting to see what happens" attitude. We expect very great things to come in the near future. Your wait is over! Seriously consider Asheville if you are looking to relocate.
