Frequently
Asked Questions |
We
design and supply all sizes, types and styles of homes:
traditional, contemporary, colonial, secondary, vacation, etc.
We will custom design the interior and exterior to suit your
preferences.
Absolutely not! We design and build only custom Designed, open
panel homes. All exterior walls and roof trusses are 2 x 6's
that we engineer to exact specifications at any one of our three
plants.
No. We
have designed our catalogs to feature over 120 design
alternatives which we can alter at your request. We acknowledge
that it is virtually impossible for us to have designed the
perfect layout for you right down to the smallest of details. We
will design and build from your own plans and/or ideas?
We take
great pride in our unique standard specifications and suggest
that you familiarize yourself with them. We're sure you'll agree
that most of our standards are normally optional upgrades and
perhaps not available with other builders.
Although
we advertise "Custom built on your lot", we are continually
working with prospective buyers who are in the process of buying
a lot, or who may still be looking for the right lot. We also
have access to available building lots in our marketing areas
and would be happy to assist you in your search.
Yes! Up
to 100% financing may be available to build your new
Barden home. We first would get you
pre-qualified with our permanent mortgage lender to determine
the monthly mortgage rate that is right for you. We have many
lenders and programs available to meet every individual's needs.
Based on the permanent mortgage commitment amount, we will lend
you up to that amount as a short term "construction loan"
through the Milo Corporation. Depending on your personal
financial situation, up to 100% financing may be available
including your building lot! Barden Homes
also has "material package only" sales available.
Our
prices, excluding land, will range from $50,000 to over$250,000
depending on the size, style and design. We make every effort to
design a home within your budget.
This
commonly asked question has no answer for custom homes and is
not recommended when shopping for price. Specifications and
style vary too widely and design can impact the actual cost too
much to provide a fair competitive analysis. We bid all of our
homes on an individual basis which insures a more accurate price
quote.
No.
Regardless of where your home is built, the same price applies.
The only adjustments would be due to local building codes,
subcontractor labor and material rates.
No. We
will provide you with a cost estimate free of charge. We only
need to clarify what you want and expect in your new home.
Unfortunately no. We only offer this service to perspective
clients who are seriously considering us as their designer /
supplier.
There
are three phases we go through prior to expecting any type of
decision from you. The first phase is an informal meeting in our
dealer's office to exchange information and discuss specific
goals and objectives. The second phase is more design orientated
to insure that the home we are discussing is within your
preferred budget guidelines. The third phase, which involves a
contract with us, is a final clarification of the design,
finishing amenities and on-site costs. Regardless of how much
time we need to finish each phase, we want you to be
well-informed and completely comfortable with your decision.
It
normally takes three to five months from start of construction
to finish. It may take longer for a larger or more complicated
design. We can better determine construction milestones upon
finalization of the design.
We price
all of our homes on a completed basis. However, we will be happy
to work with you with our "Owner / Builder" program, turnkey or
shell package programs.
When the
design and price are acceptable, we require a minimal deposit
with the contract. We will proceed with the preliminary drawing
of your home and start to prepare the total lender package for
your use. Depending on the date of your contract, you could have
up to twelve months on your guaranteed price from
Barden Homes.
