Semi-Custom Home Questions People Love To Ask

What is a semi-custom home?

A semi-custom home involves making modifications to a pre-designed floor plan. This provides just the right blend between custom and efficiency that it can be an excellent option.

• How long does it take to build a semi-custom house?

Construction of semi-custom houses takes 6–12 months. Time is depending on how much customization is requested and of course, how big your home will be.

Building Process Questions We Hear Regularly

What is the first step to start building with Wood Builders?

A free consultation starts the process. We can go over your goals, your vision, and your budget to see if a semi-custom or fully custom build or remodel is the right fit for you.

How much involvement do I get in the building process?

We enable our clients to be involved throughout the process in any area that is necessary to ensure the project meets their needs. You will have a say in everything from design decisions down to periodic walkthroughs during construction if you like, however, we do a great job keeping our clients up to date on all the critical steps where they might need to be involved.

What if I change my mind about a feature during construction?

Changes during construction are possible but may affect the timeline and budget. We work closely with you, making changes when possible.

How does Wood Builders get necessary permits and approvals?

We take care of all matters relating to permitting and ensure your project is completed to local code. The permitting process can be one day or up to four weeks depending upon approved drawings. 

• Important Budget and Financing Questions
• What does it cost to build with Wood Builders?

The cost is dependent upon the size, complexity, and finishes of the home. Semi-custom is generally more affordable, while with a fully custom, the sky’s the limit in creativity and luxury features.

Do you offer financing?

No, we do not, but we can recommend trusted lenders specializing in construction loans.

How do you ensure the project stays on budget?

We have a clearly defined budgeting process during the planning phases of the project and continually update this throughout the job to avoid any surprises. Acts of God, labor strikes, lockdowns, pandemics, or any other sky-is-falling type scenarios are a reality when engaging in building homes over the course of six to eighteen plus months. In Florida we have a little thing called “Hurricanes” that have been known to impact building processes.

Do the homes built by Wood Builders come with a warranty?

Yes, all our homes are provided with a comprehensive warranty in relation to workmanship, material items, and structural. More details will be explained to you during your contract stage.

We are still here for you after closing. If anything is not just the way you would like, just call and we will do everything humanly possible to help resolve any warranty related concerns you may have and leave you satisfied with your purchase.
