These two free guides can change the way you approach the process of making your selections in a custom home. If you do change the approach, then the entire process of designing and building improves. I know that is a bold statement which may be met with some rightful skepticism. It’s why I wrote the guides-to show, not just tell you what I mean.Yes, the guides are about design. But more importantly? They’re also about cost control, mindset shift and navigating a different way. The key is this:

The #1 way to control costs and save money is to make your selections before the house plans are finalized.

Most homeowners don’t. In fact, the typical process encourages them to wait, often until after construction begins. Once the contract is signed, the builder tells the owners that it’s time to make selections and gives them a list of choices needed and the date required by. Selections are all the finish and design decisions only you can make. 

I know from my experience in housing that changing the typical timeframe is the single biggest opportunity homeowners have to avoid unnecessary costs, stress, and delays in the schedule. That’s where these guides come in. Each one provides real-world examples of what happens when you wait and exactly how those late selections snowball into expensive and unnecessary change orders.

My hope is that these guides spark a lightbulb moment for you, where you say:  “I get it. We’re going to make our selections upfront.”  That single decision changes everything.
