Great video! This was so informative! Keep them coming! :-)
Thank you so much Rebekah! We have a lot of great content coming out in the coming weeks!
First time in my RUclips history i did not just screenshot, i literally paused, rewind as necessary, and took NOTES! Detailed notes! Subscribed.
Me too!!
Having viewed this 2 years ago.. and having now been through 2 years of battling out costs, I would say you need to produce a whole segment on just how to arrive at the right budget! House plans, different contractors, material markup ALL DIFFER FOR THE SAME AREA. We did the online estimations for one house.. 2200 SF single story.. Online estimates came in at $490K for our area - using several different estimators. So, we then took those specs and went to contractors.. Over $700K? Yikes. IF we had put out for a bank note for that estimated online amount.. we would've been had! The big(est) reasons these were SO off.. 1.) subcontractors in our region were nearly TRIPLE in some cases.. from what online said was "worst case", 2.) Contractor material markup is a BIG deal.. don't ignore that.. you may have built your material budget based on "big box" product costs.. which will NOT work for contractors, 3.) Contractors will NOT build with what they consider sub quality materials.. and so they send you to a "design center".. where the least expensive options are 2 - 3X What you put in the budget!, 4.) Type of house plan you choose can really be MUCH, MUCH higher in cost to build.. and some contractors can't build certain types of houses proficiently or cheaply. (BTW, the architect we used for the initial budgeting process was also way off the high side.. and didn't explain to us accurately enough.. what to do to reduce cost (talk a $1K down the drain!))
So.. all that long winded to say: we finally went to a contractor that took one of their "custom homes" (where they knew the base cost).. used their cost plus models for the changes.. and even with that kind of work.. we still were 20% higher then we had initially planned on.. and we cut out 80% of our "wish list" to achieve this! SO.. While this video is somewhat helpful, you probably should advise people in more comprehensive video covering HOW TO PROPERLY BUDGET to avoid these kinds of pitfalls.. what to expect when working with contractors - especially! Thanks!
We had Lowe’s do our remodel, what a mistake! The linoleum in the bathroom and laundry room was laid over the old stuff and gas made it rise. Their solution was to cut slits in it to release gas. We said no, come back and do it the right way. Our bamboo flooring was laid and the expansion trim was glued down, but we paid to have it nailed in place. The trim kept popping off. I finally called their contractor and said you were paid to nail it down, come back and do it right. The granite was fantastic. This was a home we were selling, it’s currently valued $875k
The amount of value that you provided in this video is INSANE! Honestly, the best video I have came across yet! This has been so great, thank you for this.
One thing some people do not take into account is how much the property taxes are going to be when the home is finished. I have heard of many stories of how the people could not afford that expense and had to sell their new home.
Thank you! There's so much valuable information in this video. Glad I came across it. There are so many things to think about when building and so much homework to do before.
Thanks so much we’re starting to build our dream home and I like how you gave full details of everything!
Thank you so much for this in-depth video! I am preparing to build my custom home (my first and probably forever home), so this was most helpful ❤
I'm building a luxury custom home in a gated community east slope Lake Tahoe. $500 sq ft is what it takes to get a nice home and it goes up from there... $600, $700 +++++ easy depending on how crazy you want to get. I think the best approach is to talk to as many custom home builders in ones area as was suggested in the video instead of starting with an architect. Every builder will have architects that they work with and every sub contractor required. I narrowed it down to the top three luxury builders and then picked the one I felt I could work best with. Interacting with your builder is so important and you want someone you click with. They all want to build an award winning home and have good reviews and make you happy. I think the problem is more common on the lower end if you don't want a "luxury" home and more like a basic 3 bdrm, 2 bath 2 car garage 2500 sq foot basic house. Then you are dealing with the more shady home builders/contractors. Then you are just better off buying and buying an existing home is much cheaper. My area you can find a decent 3500-4000sq ft 4bdrm, 3 bath, 3-4 car garage for $1.2 million. I am building in that range and it will be $500 X 4000= $2,000,000 easy and lots I am looking at are $400,000-500,000+. Costs have sky rocketed the last few years for building materials. Custom home builders in your area will give you a range for sq ft. They know. That should help you put things in petspective if it is better to just buy vs. build. I need a wheelchair accessible home so I have come to realize I have no choice. Thankfully due to Nvidia NVDA I have no problem affording it.😊 BUY NVDA!
This was very informative for us. This will help all people outside of Houston as well. One of the best
It's like I just went through a whole class. Thank you so much!
Very helpful content. I really like how you organized it! Thank you
Very useful video, specially now that we are in the early stages of building our dream home. Thank you!! Will keep watching ...👍
We are planning to build our first custom home in SC. You videos are extremely informative and helpful. After listening to many of them, we even listened again and are feeling more comfortable with the process. You are obviously an excellent builder… and teacher! Thanks for taking the time to provide your knowledge on an accessible platform, to help others.
Wow!! So much information in this video! We have purchased our land, chosen our builder, and will be meeting with our architect (who is used by our builder) in a couple of weeks! This provided so much information on the process after the next step! Thank you for breaking it down and taking your time in explaining. Much appreciated!
One of the best videos on the subject. Thank you for sharing your advice.
I’m from Sydney, Australia and there are so many helpful info on this video. Thank you!
Awesome, well hello from Texas! Glad to hear you liked our video.

Great video. It’s may dream to one day design my own custom home. It probably won’t happen for a long time, but I’m working on saving up.
David this is an awesome video! We will be looking out for more!
Awesome video just what every home builder/buyer needs to know great education
Well done! This was so informative and done in a very relatable manor. Thank you!!
I’m in this process, and it has been frustrating than many Profesionista don’t follow a clear path like the one you propose. Some minutes of your video have summarized 2 years of personal experience. Thank you!!!!

Thank you, we're glad you found our video helpful!
I haven’t closed on my land yet (just learned the land surveyor is booked for the next 6 weeks) but I’m getting a jump start on learning as much as I can. The goal is to start building in the next 2 years. I appreciate this video!!
Did you start building?
@@mk273Not yet! Still paying off the land on a single office manager income is taking me a while but I hope to get started next year!
This was great!
Super informative thanks heaps
Very helpful and informative! Good job!👏👏
Thanks!
This was a great video thank you
This is very informative. Do you build in the Dalla/Ft. Worth area?
Excellent presentation and information.
Very Informative
Very helpful video👍 Thank you 🙏
Great video!
Great tips! We are enjoying watching your videos. Question: In a fixed cost custom-built contract, with price increase clause, how do we access that the price increase is genuinely calculated by builder? In other words, how can expect transparency?
Thank you! We are so happy that you enjoy our videos.
Great Video. Wish you were building in Florida! ~ Mister Walter
Very helpful!!!!!
Excellent advice
Very Helpful 👍🏻 Perfectly Explained 👌🏻

I miss the “Love’ button first time. This is just brilliant.
Great info, thanks
Very helpful. Thanks
Extremely helpful video - Thanks You
Thanks Stephanie. i tried responding to your inquiry from our web site, but the email address bounced back. Please resend your email directly to me at dgordon@aspirefinehomes.com
The best informative video by far. I am closing on a slightly slope land. My question if you dont mind is, do the builders hire a subcontractor for the foundation? or do they complete the foundation themself... plz advice
Typically builders will hire a contractor to "turnkey" the foundation. Turnkey means the builder would hire one subcontractor who would perform all of the tasks needed to complete the foundation. Most builders will handle it this way because 1) it's easier for them and 2) it shift the liability of any issues with the foundation to the subcontractor
Very Good Job!
Great video…phenomenal info.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you!
Good luck!
So helpful😍
This is a very informative video.
Thank you for taking the time, i feel much better informed after watching this! I’m quite late to this video, and i think the links you have are expired or something, as i am unable to download the files. May you reply with updated ones please ?
Thanks alot very informative
Amazing video, thanks
Thank you, we are glad you enjoyed our video!
Do you have floor plans to look at? Do you recommend buying things yourself? Will you still need a build loan if not getting a loan?
Thank you! I wish we was moving to Texas!! Great information, We are moving to Rocky Mount NC, do have anyone you can recommend us?
Great info
Thank you very much!!
You are very welcome, and thank you so much for watching. We have a lot of videos coming soon!

@@AspireFineHomesHouston Very Helpful. Where do you build?
This was sooooo informative! Why they don’t teach this in schools!!!
Thank you, we are glad you found our video helpful!
Great info - but the checklists are unusable. I need a way to d/l and print - can't do that. 😒
I am going to hire a independent builder to custom build my house. This video helps me to get to know in this field a lot. I will need tons of details about hiring someone to build my custom made house.. please help.Thanks a bunch 🙏
Do you all service DFW area or Cedar Hill, TX or cities surrounding Dallas? Or do you recommend a custom builder in these areas? I’m trying to figure out where to build. Thanks!
awesome video
Thanks!
Instead of physically driving to your prospective area, you can use Google Maps at the time of when you think you would leave home and adjust the starting point.
Can you make a video talking in detail about how to find a builder.
Awesome video. I was going to buy a house but I am more inclined towards building custom. Just don't know where to go first
First drive the area where you want to build. Visit any open houses. Take down names of custom builders in the area with active projects, then call them and schedule a meeting to walk through any finished houses, talk pricing (to confirm they are within your budget) and meet with as many as you can. That's step one. Feel free to email me any questions directly at dgordon@aspirefinehomes.com once you're finished interviewing them.
Fantastic. Thank you so much. This is helpful
You said that you’re a Houston home builder. We have a lot in Montgomery County near Egypt. Do you work that far north?
Can you do more videos on other topics such as what increases values of home and which upgrades to avoid etc
Thanks Manish. That's a great suggestion. I'll put that on our list.
You don’t need a interior designer. You can do it yourself. I’m also my own GC. Building right now in Southern Nevada.
