Custom home construction involves many complex variables. Making informed decisions on developing a suitable design, selecting the right materials and keeping on budget can be challenging for most clients. Grande Cache Home Builders can help you with every stage of the building process, including hiring the right subcontractors and trades. We can manage your custom home project from start to finish.

New Home Construction

Grande Cache Home Builders is experienced in working on custom home projects of various types and sizes. Homes have become more complex over the years and building code requirements more stringent. This has affected the timeframe it takes to obtain building permits in the Grande Cache area.

Many of our customers have found that it is helpful to understand the building process before construction begins. Grande Cache Home Builders gives you realistic expectations and can help you make informed decisions about what is involved in construction in the following areas:

• Site specific design and material selection
• Budget preparation
• Building permits and approvals
• Site preparation and improvement
• Installation of foundations
• Completing the basic structure of the home
• Finishing the interior of the home

The cost to complete your home to occupancy will be dependent on the size, location and complexity of the project. The time taken, availability and quality of trades-people used will affect the labor component. The reality is that it is more important to consider the value of work being done than simply choosing trades based on a low hourly rate.

Choosing the right people can save on a lot of labor cost and fixing problems later on. Generally the use of higher quality material gives you a better finished result, less waste and lower maintenance as well as substantial cost savings during construction. Grande Cache Home Builders uses best construction practices in all of their projects.

Home Additions

A new addition may be just what it takes to accommodate a changing family or special lifestyle needs. You can expand a kitchen, add a bathroom or change your existing home into the home of your dreams. Whatever you have in mind, Grande Cache Home Builders can help.

As with any construction project, an addition to your home requires careful planning. Before you decide to go ahead with the project, it is important to clearly identify the features you want. Just as important is a thorough inspection of the current structure so that any existing problems can be corrected at the same time.

The key challenge is to make sure that your addition meets your living requirements and looks like an integral part of the existing home. You will likely need help from a professional designer who can take your ideas and prepare blueprints that will meet structural and permitting requirements.

At Grande Cache Home Builders, we have the experience to assemble the resources needed and perform the work to professional standards.

Home Renovations

A professional renovation makes your home more appealing, more efficient and more durable. Grande Cache Home Builders has the right kind of experience to make you comfortable that your project will be successful. We provide you with realistic estimates and perform the work to meet building code standards. We can also assist you to source experienced designers and prepare blueprints that will meet structural and permitting requirements.

Before renovating, it's important to assess the condition of your home to determine if there are any significant underlying problems that must be addressed before or during your planned renovation. You will need to consider:

• Lifestyle requirements
• Upgrades or replacement of key structural elements
• Improvement of the look and feel of the home

Good up-front planning is crucial before you start work to keep costs under control and get the best result. A thorough inspection will help you to assess the condition of your home. Grande Cache Home Builders can arrange for a professional home inspection for you that assesses signs of deterioration and the possible causes.

Grande Cache Home Builders can then help you plan your project and make your home look better, last longer and be more comfortable.

Our Expertise

Grande Cache Home Builders has many years of experience in the Grande Cache area, which allows us to successfully complete any complex home construction project. Our customers have relied on our expertise to build a new home or make a major addition to their existing home.

Construction is largely a sequential process. A variety of professional resources with a wide range of expertise is needed to complete a project successfully. They need to be available at the right time and be able to work together at different stages of the project. For example, when building components or manpower is not available at the jobsite when needed, it will cause delays. Grande Cache Home Builders has the expertise to make the construction process go more smoothly and efficiently.

Shortcuts on material and labor will affect the outcome of the entire project. The cost to fix problems caused by the use of substandard materials or incorrect application can be substantial. Using the right materials and hiring the right expertise means a much better finished result and more value in your home.

Some of the more crucial areas where expertise is needed include:

• Obtaining permits and approvals
• Design and material selection
• Structural load bearing and other engineering requirements
• Assembling the right human resources
• Constructing the home to meet building code standards
• Controlling and managing the project

In the construction of custom homes and major additions, all projects have different challenges. Grande Cache Home Builders understands that the key to a successful outcome is to finalize your design and select the right materials before work starts.

Working with Grande Cache Home Builders gives you the confidence that your project will go smoothly.

Design and Construction Options

The design you choose will determine what kind of construction method needs to be used to build the home. More complex structures can include elements of post and beam or timber-frame construction combined with conventional framing. Homes can also include solid log rafter systems instead of posts and timbers. This means that different structural techniques are needed to support the roof and floors.

All structures have the advantage of being able to incorporate open plan living, vaulted ceilings and large expanses of glass to maximize the use of natural light. Although they are a little more costly to build than conventional homes, they generally have a much higher appraised value.

Grande Cache Home Builders can help you determine the right kind of design for your budget. Your choices of design, materials and construction method also play a major role in the look and feel of the finished home.

Building different types of homes takes special skill sets. Grande Cache Home Builders is capable of building a wide variety of custom homes and uses premium quality building materials to give you a better-finished result.
