Subject: Six Most Common Questions About Building Your Own Home
Okay, so you're considering building your own home-but you have some questions. You've come to the right place because here are some answers.
Q: Do I Need Previous Construction Experience?
A: No. Our job is to help you every step of the way including up to 23 site visits during your construction process. You never have to lift a hammer or get your boots dirty (or even wear boots for that matter!).
Q: How Much Money Can I Save?
A: Builder margins typically average 15% to 25% which goes into your pocket when you manage the project yourself, minus our project fee. You can either pocket the savings (instant equity!) or use the money to build a bigger home and/or one with more amenities.
Q: Will I Be Doing Any Of The Actual Work?
A: You will be managing the process-mostly by cell phone. But you don't have to pick up a hammer. Some of our clients, however, do want to "get their hands dirty." You'll be hiring the subcontractors (with our recommendations and contacts), but if you want to hire yourself to do some of the work, you can certainly do that!
Q: What Role Does UBuildIt Play, Exactly?
A: We provide the construction expertise. We have access to suppliers, subcontractors, and financial providers. We visit the job site up to 23 times to make sure the timing and scheduling are on track, and to review the work and prevent and/or catch any problems. In short, we're your hands-on construction consultant.
Q: How Much Of My Time Will This Require?
A: If you were to hire a builder, you'd still have to work through the design, choose the materials, and make certain decisions during the building process. With UBuildIt, you will take on the responsibilities of managing your own project so you'll be coordinating subcontractors and making more decisions (with our help, of course!). You should expect to allocate 5 to 10 hours per week toward building your home during construction.
Q: How do you get paid?
A: We get paid a project fee that is equal to a percentage of the total build job. Our fees vary depending on the complexity of the project; we'll be happy to give you an exact quote after meeting with you to determine your specific needs. You can count on our fees being MUCH lower than the markup you'd pay a builder-which gives you more equity.
