Where does Skycrest Homes build?

Can you provide a list of referrals?

At Skycrest Homes, ensuring complete client satisfaction is our primary goal, and we are happy to provide a list of referrals upon request. For insights into our clients’ experiences, we invite you to visit the ‘About Us’ section on our website, where you will find testimonials from previous Skycrest Homes clients.

Do you have model homes I can see?

There are several ways to view our work. Most of our past homeowners are delighted to showcase their homes to prospective clients, and we can facilitate these viewings. Additionally, we aim to have 1-3 homes under construction at various stages, available for tours.

How much does it cost to build a custom home?

The cost of building a custom home varies significantly. Skycrest Homes offers a wide range of floor plans, features, and home sites to suit nearly every budget. Many features that we consider standard are often regarded as upgrades by others. Ultimately, the final cost depends on your style and the specific selections you make.

What should I consider when choosing a lot?

When selecting a lot, it’s crucial to consider several factors, such as the potential impact of floodplains, soil suitability, grading, availability of public utilities, lot dimensions, existing easements, and surrounding land uses. Our team at Skycrest Homes is equipped to assist in reviewing lots to ensure your selected site is ideal for the home you envision.

If I already have a set of plans I like can you build my home or remodel project?

Clients often approach us with a preferred set of plans or concepts. Typically, after discussing the home and reviewing the plans, we identify aspects that require adjustments to fulfil the client’s vision.

We then customise the plans to meet your specific needs, ultimately creating a unique home or remodel project.

How can you ensure that my home will reflect my individual style?

Your home should reflect your personal taste and accommodate your lifestyle seamlessly. Our aim is to turn your dreams into reality. We work closely with you and your budget to design every aspect of your home or remodel project to your satisfaction.

Do you offer the services of a professional interior designer?

Yes, we do! Most of our subcontractors, providing and installing finishes like lighting, flooring, cabinets, and granite, have in-house designers who can assist you without additional charges.

How do I know which products and finishes to choose?

Throughout the home-building journey, we guide you in choosing products that not only match your preferences but also fit within your budget. Quality doesn’t have to mean the most expensive option. Factors like design and materials significantly influence the quality and cost of a product. Some products may offer similar quality and durability at a lower cost due to these factors. We are here to help you through the product selection process, ensuring your choices meet your standards for quality and functionality while remaining within your budget.

How long does it take to build a home?

The construction of a home typically spans months from the time permits are obtained. However, this timeline can fluctuate based on various factors such as the size of the home, the client’s specific goals, and the selections made during the process. Once we understand your requirements and desired timeline, we can create a construction schedule tailored to meet those needs.

What is the best time of the year to build?

We build homes throughout the year. Construction can continue through winter, provided the foundation is laid. We have excavated foundations in December and January, depending on the moisture content in the subsoil and the depth of the frost layer at the site.

Soil properties, especially regarding moisture retention, can significantly impact excavation capabilities.

How are changes handled during the home building process?

We employ a change order format to ensure all requests for modifications are clearly documented, along with any associated costs. Our goal is clear communication, requiring both parties to review and approve any changes before implementation.

Is it OK to visit my home while it’s under construction?

It’s not just okay; we encourage it. We want you to be as knowledgeable about your home as we are. Making decisions along the way is crucial, and these discussions are the best opportunity for us to guide and assist you, addressing any questions or concerns you may have.

Visits just need to be scheduled with us to ensure a safe and productive experience.
