Owner-builder Is Project Manager For Home Build

Every custom home is unique, but for us at Turnkey Custom Homes, this new custom home build had something that most do not… an Owner Builder!

At our core, we believe in building your home, the way you want it built. What better way to do that than be in charge of every detail? This homeowner wanted to manage their own home construction, but also wanted to make sure the build went smoothly.

However anyone with any building experience knows, every project is safer with a team. At Turnkey Custom Homes we have developed a Building System that has been proven a hundred times over and allows us to build one-of-a-kind custom homes, with a reliable process, across a large geographical area and with many different project managers.

This time, we shared that Building System and partnered with our Homeowner, making them the Owner-Builder and Project Manager.

The Turnkey Building System

An Owner-builder Becomes A Project Manager

Our customer’s family knows construction and isn’t your typical homeowner. With years of experience in custom project management and a full time job with a major supplier, not only did he know he could handle building his own home, he wanted to. There is something special about building a new home that you and your family will spend their lives in, but for some, building it yourself is the cherry on top.

Our team provided Pre-Construction Planning that helped build the detailed specifications package for the home, compiled the vendor list to bid, and estimated each line item for the pre-construction kickoff. Turnkey made sure everything in the proposal met the lender’s standards as well. This included the itemized draw schedule, inspections, insurances, plans and specs. We also worked together to create a schedule and flow for the project.

Once construction started, we met virtually each week to check on how the previous week progressed, what was planned for the next week, approved vendor payments to be sent out through the Turnkey office, reviewed the budget and stayed on top of selections.

At phase intervals we discussed items needed to be inspected by the licensed building inspectors and worked with the lender for smooth phase payments.

This homeowner was able to be a part of every decision about their home. This included what trades worked on the home, where the materials were sourced, real time adjustments when something just didn’t match the vision and so much more to truly make this home check every box for this family. As homebuilders, we understand that very little compares to spending your life with your family in a home you built.

A huge thank you to our customer for trusting us as partners and an even bigger congratulations on your new home. You have a beautiful home, that we know, will last a lifetime.

Turnkey Custom Homes believes in the value that we provide to our clients when building their forever homes.

We want to partner with homeowners to get their homes built the way they want them built.
