Our Semi-Custom homes are homes that are built for a particular client using one of our signature house plans. A Semi-Custom home build allows the client to make slight changes to the house plan they choose, as well as select all the colors and finishes that are done in a custom home build. The Semi-Custom route is an excellent way to streamline a custom home-building experience, and is usually more cost effective than a fully custom build. A Semi-Custom home build is financed by the client, with a builder’s fee added to the cost of the build.
JAH has a variety of signature house plans that our clients can choose from when opting for a semi-custom home building experience. The Semi-Custom route is an excellent way to streamline a custom home-building experience, and is usually more cost effective than a fully custom build.
We begin with an in-person meeting with our client to talk about our clients vision, budget, financing and timeline goals. This is usually done over dinner at a restaurant of our clients choosing, paid for by JAH.
Next, we begin the detailed design process of perfecting one of our JAH signature floor plans to our client’s needs. This process takes approximately two weeks.
After the blueprint is finalized, we walk through all the design selections for the home. Kitchen designs, trim work, door styles, and more are discussed to establish a comprehensive plan to create the desired result for our clients. The selection process allows us to generate quotes from our vendors to create tailored estimates for material costs. This is usually done in one to three in-person design meetings.
After we have a detailed cost analysis of the project based on the blueprint, design selections, and material costs, we present a contract for our clients to review and sign before breaking ground.
Because we establish the majority of our creative designs ahead of time, our building process is as streamlined as possible. This is the exciting phase of the building process, as our plans and designs come to life!
We would love to build one of our signature house plans with your vision at the center of the design! Reach out to us through our contact us page or email directly to james@jamesalexanderhomes.com to get started!
