Design And Build Fears or Considerations? We’ll Make It Easier

Mar 15, 2022 | Home Design

Several clients have mentioned that the process of designing and building their dream home is stressful and expensive. We’ve been listening, and we’re here to help!

We know that no matter how much research you have done on your own, the process can still be very intimidating. Often, clients are unsure of what they can actually afford. They might not know where to begin or which steps to take first. While it is exciting to create a unique home just for you and your family, there can also be some fear involved with the unknowns.

What are the major concerns clients have about design and build projects?

Designing and building a home is not something to be taken lightly. It’s a big decision and we are here to make it easier for you.

As you begin your search for a custom home builder, we want to make sure that you know who we are, what makes us different, and what our past clients have said about us as a company and their experience building with us.

The best way to know if Lancaster Homes is the right builder for you is to hear from past clients that have built with us. We encourage you to read through our client testimonials so you can get an understanding of what people say about working with us.

We asked our clients what their major concerns were when they were planning and building their homes, so we could address these issues in our services and website. Here is what they had to say:

“My biggest fear with building was communication issues and things not being done correctly.”
“Getting the right plan for our family. Making sure that what we wanted was represented in the design.”
“All the horror stories about massive variations that sometimes mean a project grinds to a halt due to lack of funds when borrowing limits are reached.”
“Finding a builder with the flexibility and patience that would work with us in creating and customizing our dream home.”
“Worried about making selections that wouldn’t look good when it all came together.
Budgeting was our major concern. The fact that we wanted all the extras but pushing our lending complicity to the limit.”
“How much can we trust the promises of timing?”

A lot of people worry that they won’t be able to talk to their builder about any issues that may arise, and this is understandable. Communication is one of the most important aspects of any project, let alone one as big as building your own home. At Lancaster Homes we believe in communication with our clients and are always happy to discuss any concerns or queries that you have during the process.

Another common concern is the thought of not being heard. This is another aspect we at Lancaster Homes take very seriously, and we always encourage our clients to voice their needs and wants so that we can work together to create your ideal home and make sure it will fit your lifestyle perfectly.

“We had a good idea of what we wanted and the custom designer nailed the execution, we only made a couple of changes.”
“Being prepared to take our ideas, contribute your insights, and come back with a plan that combines the two into something that worked for us, without trying to push us down the path of your own preferred plans.”
“Baden was very approachable and every one of our ideas was taken seriously. We had a lot of customized, one of a kind ideas We were able to squeeze into our budget with his help.”
