Jackson Digney of Enduro Builders explains how to avoid costly delays when building a custom home. Look for a builder with an online portal showing real-time schedules, transparent upfront pricing, and a timeline that starts from first contact. Wrong choices can add months to construction and thousands in unexpected costs.
Would you like to know how to save thousands of dollars on your new home? It's a fact that most builders keep secret from you, but today we will share how you can do it. Hi, my name is Jackson Digney and I'm the Managing Director and builder at Enduro Builders. We all know that building a high-quality custom home is nothing like a cheap cookie-cutter one. We also hear the horror stories of how building a custom home can be a cost and time blowout nightmare. So how do you avoid this happening to you? It's easy. Make sure that the builder you start your design process with is able to do the following things for you. Number 1, provide an online client portal with project schedule and inclusions information that you have access to throughout the project. Number 2, provide a timeline for construction that starts from the day you talk to them. Number 3, be clear with you about what your home is really going to cost, not a price that gets you in the door. Without these things, they can't guarantee that your home will be built on time with no hidden costs. So how does it hurt you if you get builder selection wrong? The first thing is it can take longer than you expect to build, and you could be stuck with additional mortgage or rent repayments. And these can add up fast. The other thing is when things get left out of your estimates but are still shown on the plans. It's easy for you to think you are getting a bargain price when actually you're just getting less than you expect. One way or the other, you will be paying for it, and this is why you need to work with a builder who isn't afraid to be honest with you so you know upfront what your dream home is really going to cost. So when you are ready to build your dream home, make sure the potential builders you talk to can confidently do the things we listed for you.
