The homebuilding market is in a tricky spot at the moment with interest rates on the rise and fears of a recession looming. Individuals looking to build a home or undergo a major renovation may be hesitant to pull the trigger. Taking the first step and creating a home design, however, is a wise idea, particularly in today’s market. It can help you estimate costs and find the right contractor so that you can choose the best time to begin your project.
At Wagner Design Services, we understand that cost plays an integral part in the home design process. There’s no point in designing a beautiful home if it’s going to cost more than the client can afford! We care about our clients’ happiness and their ability to build the home of their dreams. That’s why we abide by the Wagner Way when we design homes.
We spend time getting to know our customers. When designing a home, it’s critical to get to know the client’s wants and needs. Maybe a dog washing station is a must-have, or they prefer to have as few stairs as possible in the house. All of the information helps us to design the perfect home for our clients. After all, the client’s happiness is our ultimate goal.
We can give you a rough idea of the total project cost. Many home designers simply create a design and call it a day. At Wagner Design Services, we feel that it’s important for the client to understand how much the project will actually cost. Our relationships with local contractors give us a good insight into the cost of a project so that we can provide a general cost estimate along with our home design. We like our clients to have all of the information upfront so that they can successfully build their new home. (Note: The estimates we provide are only estimates to help our clients start communication with possible contractors. Our clients will only know contract costs when the final home plan package is complete with their contractor.)
We work with your contractors every step of the way. After the home design has been finalized, we make ourselves available to your contactor to answer any questions on the home design to ensure a smooth building process.
Lumber and labor costs will begin to decrease soon as the market corrects itself. Be prepared to start your home build when the time is right and create your home design today. For a free consultation, contact us online or at (252) 447-9900. We look forward to hearing from you!
