Building your dream custom home can be a long and often complicated process, but it doesn't have to be. In fact, when you build with the expert team behind award-winning Linwood Homes, the one-stop building process can be collaborative, interactive, and enjoyable.
What does a one-stop shop approach mean?
“At Linwood Homes, we consolidate the design and building process, meaning that we conveniently provide both design and architectural services - everything you need to build the home (source materials) as well as build the home to completion,” says Canadian Sales Manager, Sam Clark. “Our tiered approach to building means that you can choose from four different options available.”
The benefits of Linwood Homes’ One-Stop shop are countless. For many clients, the most attractive aspect of Linwood is that you’re only working with one company. You don’t need a separate architect, an interior designer, a landscape designer, or anybody else.
This approach to building aims to streamline and speed up the building journey, which typically takes around a year—creating a single point of contact and accountability so you can relax and enjoy bringing your new home to life.
Best of all, you choose how much or how little involvement you want throughout the build process. Linwood Homes can take the lead from start to finish or you can work alongside the team.
“If you have the experience, you can work alongside us and put in the sweat equity to really personalize your home the way you want,” explains Clark.
How does Linwood Homes estimate costs?
Linwood Homes uses fixed-price contracts, as opposed to cost-plus contracts to avoid cost overruns for its clients. Transparency with costs is key.
“Cost is by far our most frequently asked question, and we want to make it easier for our clients to get a sense of the cost before getting started,” says Clark. “We have a new feature on our website that gives users the ability to see the rough build price range for a select few of our homes.”
Costs depend on what package you opt for. Linwood Homes’ unique tiered system gives you control over what makes sense to you and your family.
It is important to note that design is one of the factors that affect cost.
“However land preparation and site development are other significant cost factors that many people don’t consider,” explains Clark. “Things like hydro and septic set up, rock blasting, site clearance and accessibility are major cost factors.”
Here are the different options to choose from:
Design and Material Package
- Purchase all of the materials you need to build your home to the Lock-Up stage. This option is extremely popular with clients when they are looking to build a home themselves.
Full Turn-Key
- For those who prefer this option, Linwood manages the entire build from design to site development, construction, and interior finishing.
Modified Turn-Key
- Linwood manages the construction process from design to lock-up and installation of major systems and drywall. Thus, you save money by organizing interior finishing work.
Completion to Lock-Up
- Linwood manages your project from the design through the foundation and framing stages. At Lock-Up, the team will pass it over to you to finish utilities, drywall and interior finishing.
Meaningful warranties, fixed pricing, flexible options - that’s award-winning Linwood Homes’ promise to you. Linwood Homes has built its reputation as a company that designs and supplies beautiful post and beam homes that they ship to customers in Canada, the U.S. and worldwide.
