When you build a new home, you are setting out on an exciting journey. There will be hikes, there will be strolls, there will be forks in the road. As with any journey into a land not yet explored, it’s smoother if you bring along a partner — someone who has been down the road before, and can anticipate what a curve in the road might mean, or how an opportunity might be just over that rise. At BrightBuilt Home, we are that partner. We help you find the right design, the right builder and manufacturer, and the right path...to your new front door.
Your project team will then work with you to develop layouts and features that suit your lifestyle, your wants, and your needs. From locating the home on your site to helping you pick out your kitchen cabinets, we guide you through the whole of the design process.
By finalizing the design, programmatic needs of the home, site placement, finish selections, and any added structures, we can also help you get a long way down the road to the final all-in costs for the project. This front-end decision making lends itself to price predictability, and, accordingly, alleviates the budget-anxiety often felt with custom design/build projects that can meander through a drawn-out decision process, change orders, and unpredicted delays.
Depending on the specific variables related to your project, you may choose to engage in either off-site or on-site construction.
We are large proponents of off-site construction practices for the following reasons: 1) Your new home will be built in a climate-controlled environment, not a torrential downpour. 2) Your new home will be carefully measured, precision framed, and systematically trimmed and detailed. 3) Materials will be purchased and used to maximum efficiency, and their cost will be known at the outset of the project. Building the bulk of the home off-site also means that the construction time on site will be shortened, thus reducing impact on your neighbors and the need for extensive long-term staging on your property.
However, we also know that there are instances in which off-site construction is not a viable option. We believe that each client should have the ability to choose the construction approach that makes the most sense for their project, and we are well-versed in collaborating with builders to support on-site construction.
The house is whole, the roof is on, the windows are trimmed, and plumbing and electrical is installed. It’s time for the finishing touches.
Kitchen countertops, siding and trim, decks and porches, mechanical systems, finish paint, and brand new floors come together, and in turn, your house becomes your home.
Your builder, whom you’ve selected on your own, out of our roster, or with our help, is your local resource — your conduit to the local deals, tradespeople, and insights that will help any project go smoother than if an outsider was dropping in for the duration.
Move in and relax. You're home.
“We’ve been through three winters in our cozy Great Diamond and I’ve never been so comfortable in any house I’ve lived in this far north. The huge south-facing windows provide solar gain and fill our house with light. The insulation holds the heat in so well that sometimes on a sunny winter day I have to crack a window!!”
