Residential Construction FAQs

Building a custom home is one of the most exciting and complex journeys a homeowner can take. From selecting the right floor plan to understanding timelines, budgets, and materials, it’s natural to have a lot of questions along the way. Here at JAB Construction, we have compiled and provided answers to some of our most frequently asked questions to help our clients better understand the process.

Q: Why should I build a custom home?

A: Custom homes allow you to tailor the location and design to suit your lifestyle, preferences, and needs. You have greater control over the selection of materials and craftsmanship, and you can incorporate energy-efficient features and modern technologies that save you time and money. With a custom build, you get exactly what you want from your living space.

Q:How long does it take to build a custom home?

A: There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as each custom home we build is unique. Several factors impact the overall timeline of a custom build, including weather, the location of your property, and more. Once plans are made, our team can provide you with a more specific time frame.

Q: How much does it cost to build a custom home?

A: The overall cost of building a custom home will vary depending on the location, size, materials used, and more. Before we begin working on a project, we help you determine your budget and make choices that align with it.

Q: How do I finance a custom build?

A: There are several different ways to finance your project. Typically, clients apply for construction loans that cover the cost of the materials, permits, and labor necessary to complete the job. Once the home is built, these loans can be converted into traditional 15- or 30-year mortgages. We advise our clients to explore all their options so they can choose a method of financing that best suits their particular situation.

Q: Does JAB have an interior designer to help me make my choices for my custom home?

A: Though we do not have a distinct interior designer we are contracted with, we do know some of the best designers in the area and can point our clients in the right direction based on their needs. We also have an amazing team including our project manager, superintendent, and office personnel who have extensive experience in construction who will offer guidance and recommendations along the way. Our subcontractor tier is also highly recognized for their service with our custom home clients.
