Scalero Custom Homes

Although it’s been around for many years, the design/build method recently has become a popular choice with homebuyers looking for higher quality and lower costs. In traditional contracting, a client hires an architect or designer to prepare drawings and specifications, and then separately selects a builder after the construction plans are completed. In contrast, design/build is a construction process that evolved from the need for high quality construction standards at affordable construction costs and the desire for unique creative designs coupled with close personal service. Design/build is based on the team concept, which means that the principal players (Architect/Home Designer, Builder, Interior Designer, and Lender) are selected and assembled at the start of the project and will work together taking the project from design, through construction, and up to completion. Design/build grew out of the need to find a way to build that maintains quality standards while ensuring rigorous budget control. In the Design/build environment the Architect/Home Designer serve to help the Client design a home that satisfies their dreams. The Builder certainly provides a significant source of product information and construction insight, but is most effective in his/her role of quality and cost control. Far too many homes are designed today and never built because actual construction costs far outweighed the construction budget. Scalero Custom Homes takes this approach a step further by doing the architectural design and the construction within the same company. In fact, the same people that design your home are the ones in the field building it. What could be better than having the same people that will be building your home spending over a month staring at your home plan, before a shovel ever touches the ground?
