3 Reasons to Choose a Concrete Patio Surface

August 15, 2023
Concrete patios, which are offered by Culver Built Custom Homes and Remodeling, are an unquestionably superior choice when compared to wooden decks as well as patio surfaces composed of paver stones and bricks. Three key reasons why, Firstly, one of the most appealing aspects of concrete patios is their significantly lower initial cost, making them a much more budget-friendly option for homeowners. This affordability factor alone makes concrete patios an attractive choice for those who are looking to enhance their outdoor space without breaking the bank. Secondly, concrete patios are known for their exceptional durability and require minimal maintenance, thereby ensuring longevity and substantial cost savings in the long run. Unlike wooden decks that are prone to rotting, warping, and splintering over time, concrete patios are built to withstand the test of time. They are resistant to weather elements such as rain, snow, and extreme temperatures, making them a practical and long-lasting investment for homeowners. Lastly, one of the most delightful advantages of concrete patios is the endless design possibilities they offer. With concrete, homeowners have the freedom to create a unique and personalized outdoor space that perfectly suits their needs and style preferences. Whether it's a sleek and modern look or a rustic and natural aesthetic, concrete patios can be customized to match any desired design concept. From various textures and patterns to different color options, homeowners can truly let their creativity run wild when it comes to designing their dream outdoor oasis.

When should I hire a custom design-home builder?

March 26, 2023
Our recommendation is that you hire your builder early in the design process so that they can help monitor and control the cost of the project. Negotiate how the builder will be compensated up front and rely on the builder’s expertise to solicit multiple bids from suppliers and subcontractors rather than bidding the project to multiple builders. A custom home requires that you work to a budget to get the full value out of it. Custom homes are one of a kind, so it is wise to have the builder and designer work on the project together as a team and leverage their collective knowledge and experience. What is a Design-Builder? What do I look for? A well-qualified home builder does not need to be a large flashy organization with fifty trucks on the road and a $100,000 marketing budget. The right builder needs to have the time, financial resources, interest, communication skills, organization skills, and experience to build your new home. A custom home builder’s primary focus should be on building custom homes not speculative homes, so that their services are tailored to your needs. Reviewing the following 8 items when choosing a builder, will help you create a solid shortlist of candidates: A current resume of projects. Track record with projects of similar scale and detail. Communication abilities. Organizational skills. Client references. Time management skills. Understanding and description of the work flow. Whether they specialize in custom or speculative homes.

What is the role of a custom home builder?

March 12, 2023
A good custom home builder is an advocate for the homeowner as well as an integral and collaborative member of the design team. They work with the homeowner and design to team to help establish a realistic budget for the project and then monitor the cost and scope through the design and construction process. Custom Home Builder Responsibilities:  The home builder will involve and mange subcontractors during the design process so the design team can coordinate key building systems in to the design of the home. A qualified custom home builder has advanced knowledge of all building systems and is responsible to for making sure the subcontractors execute the work as outlined in the designer’s plan specifications and to building code. The builder will contract with the owner for the construction price on the home and track all cost, submit pay request to the bank and designer for approval, provide lien release waivers for all completed work, and prepare estimates and collect money for approved change orders and owner initiated changes as outlined in the contract. Once the designer has filed for and obtained the building permit the builder will be the liaison between the building inspectors, governing jurisdictions, and the design team. The builder will be responsible for managing and obtaining all approvals, inspections, and the certificate of occupancy. The builder will order, check, and accept all building material and component’s prior to installation. Upon completion, the designer will review the project for any deficiencies. The builder will work with the subcontractors to resolve any issues and once this is done, and the city has completed final inspections and issued the certificate of occupancy, the builder will deliver the project to the owner. The builder will educate the owner on the operation and maintenance of the house and service the warrantee as required.
