The BEST in New Construction

Building from the ground up can be a daunting task without the right people on your team. The professionals at HiCaliber utilize the latest and most effective techniques in New Construction. We are custom builders and we know what it takes to get the job done efficiently, and in a timely manner.

As the mortgage crisis continues to inundate the market with distressed properties, today’s house hunter has no shortage of cheap, foreclosed homes to pick through. But despite all those deals in the previously-owned home market, consumers shouldn’t overlook the potential benefits of buying a new home. “New homes usually sell higher per square foot than resale homes.

Here are some reasons why building a NEW home is beneficial

1. Customization: Many home builders allow buyers to participate in the process of designing their property, which helps create a living space specifically tailored to the consumer’s tastes.  There is a lot of flexibility for [new home buyers] to put their personal signature on the product.  Those kind of things you can’t do with a used house—it’s just not possible!

2. Building envelope: Building codes have mandated increasingly higher energy efficiency standards since they began to address the issue in the late 1970’s.  The most recent International Energy Conservation Code came out in 2009 [and] required roughly 17 percent more efficiency than the codes of three years prior.  Using that as sort of a gauge to how newer homes should perform from an efficiency standpoint compared to older homes, it’s pretty clear that just as homes meet code, they are going to be more efficient.  Efficiency equals money saving!!!  They tend to have a tighter-sealed building envelope that helps prevent conditioned air—cool air in the summer, warm air in the winter—from escaping. Features that create this envelope include higher-efficiency insulation, doors, and windows.

3. Green appliances: The more energy-efficient mechanics of the house also help reduce utility bills for new home buyers, yet another money saver.  Newly-constructed homes often include green systems and appliances—like high efficiency stoves, refrigerators, washing machines, water heaters, furnaces, or air conditioning units—that homes built years ago might not. Existing homeowners can always retrofit their property or buy higher-efficiency appliances, but doing so requires a potentially significant expense.

4. Fewer repairs: The features of newly constructed homes should also hold up better than those of existing homes, which may have experienced years of wear and tear.  People will buy [previously-owned] houses and then the carpet needs to be replaced or it needs to be repainted, or it needs new appliances, or the flooring is shot, which can be a huge investment.  When they buy a new home in today’s market, it really is new!

5. Less maintenance: At the same time, today’s new homes are engineered specifically to minimize maintenance requirements. If you buy a used house you don’t know what you are getting, you might have to do a lot of maintenance.  We are trying to look down the road and make things as easy as possible for the homeowner so they can enjoy living there and not have to be saddled with maintenance.
