A proud builder of Energy Star qualified homes
While Designer Home Builders provides many custom features in our spec
homes, our specialty is working with you to design and build your custom
home. We can start with your plan, or with a simple concept or sketch
that we then flesh out based on your input, with as many design iterations
as needed to get your home precisely the way you want.
homes, our specialty is working with you to design and build your custom
home. We can start with your plan, or with a simple concept or sketch
that we then flesh out based on your input, with as many design iterations
as needed to get your home precisely the way you want.
When you start researching your home, we would like to interview with
you. You can call previous homeowners for references and see previously
built homes as well as view our lots and lots in neighborhoods that
interest you. We will discuss your ideas, needs, and budget goals. I
then develop a preliminary design that will show the basics: layout, room
sizes, basic features.
Once the basic design is modified to your satisfaction, we will meet at
potential building sites to discuss terrain and home location, as well as
covenants and architectural guidelines. As potential home sites are
narrowed down, we continue modifying the plans, and start working on the
exterior elevations.
Upon final lot selection, I will work with you to finalize
and detail out the plans that meet your needs & taste,
and take advantage of your lot's assets. Of course, you can have your
plans drawn by an architect, and then meet with us to review them.
Once the plans are approved, we will calculate the price, based on the lot
and detailed set of plans and specifications, including allowances. We
guarantee this firm price, so you don't have to worry about surprises
during construction or at closing.

Construction then begins. All necessary permits and fees are obtained
and paid for, including third party inspection for Energy Star
certification. We arrange all engineering design and building inspections
by the appropriate officials. Designer Home Builders always maintains
a general liability policy and builders risk policy, and we use well
established, qualified sub-contractors who meet our strict standards and
insurance requirements.
You are welcome to visit the job site at any time to monitor and
participate in the construction of your home. Of course, you can also
contact Dena or me at any time. We also have accounts with most
suppliers in Columbia, and would be happy to set up additional accounts
if you choose to buy allowance items from different suppliers.
We average 7 months from ground breaking to move-in. This time
period includes weather delays, and assumes your choices are made
within their given time frame. A project schedule is developed and
maintained so you know when your decisions need to be made well in
advance.

Financing the project can be done one of two ways:
land and construction financing. On homes where we supply the land and
financing and you pay the balance in one sum at the end, we ask for a
5% deposit.
- Designer Home Builders provides the lot and financing, and adds
construction interest expense to the firm price. You make one
payment at the completion of your home. - You provide the lot (or buy a lot from us) and financing, and we
request bi-monthly construction draws (payments based on invoiced
work done) from your bank for work completed.

Further, before a contract is signed, we will show you examples from
our homes or ask you to visit our recommended suppliers for all
allowance items to verify that the allowances are appropriate for your
vision of your finished home.
Allowance items include exterior materials (brick, stone, dryvit, siding),
floor coverings, kitchen and bath cabinets and tops, light fixtures,
appliances, built-ins, bathroom fixtures and accessories, paint, and
landscaping.
After a thorough review of the allowances, we sign the firm price
construction contract. Allowance overruns increase the price of the
home by the amount of the overrun, and when allowances are not fully
spent, the difference is credited to you and the price of the home
decreases.
