If you’re shopping for Indiana builders or Michigan home builders in the South Bend area, one of the hardest things as a buyer of a new home construction is to determine if you’re getting a good price. Sometimes buyers will call and ask how much money per square feet do custom built homes cost. That’s like selling a car by the pound. Two different home plans, both having the same square footage, will never cost exactly the same. Experienced custom builders, like Certified Builders, offer stock or custom home plan designs. However, they understand that other factors determine the final cost.
Indiana builders and Michigan home builders know thousands and thousands of parts go into a home and variations on those parts can make a big difference in the overall price. Why do these parts vary so much? Some Indiana builders might offer pressed wood trim vs. real wood trim. Other custom builders might have six inch of soffit overhang vs. twelve inches with another builder. These little things add up to VALUE vs. PRICE.

It’s not just about the supplies though. Who you decide to be your custom builders also makes a difference in the price. Builders that only build one or two homes a year often have higher overhead and over priced sub-contractors. Builders that build hundreds of new construction homes each year often produce poor quality checked homes with less one-on-one experience. You need to find a balance between the two extremes. Both suppliers and contractors give very competitive pricing to Indiana builders, and Michigan home builders, who offer a continuous supply of work. Whereas production builders - those who build hundreds of new construction homes - are less desired. The reason is they often tell the new construction vendors and contractors what they will pay instead of paying what is fair.
At Certified Builders, we build an average of seven to fifteen homes per year. We use experienced sub-contractors and vendors at affordable prices and you get hands-on attention from one of the few Indiana builders and Michigan home builders who understand that quality means more than quantity in home building.
