No job is impossible for Sigura Construction. We never take on a project unless we are 100% certain we can provide our client with the best service and results possible. We do this by completing the project in its entirety, providing each client with our prompt, courteous and professional service, and by turning out a first-rate product. We stand behind all of our work and guarantee that you can rely on us before, during and after your construction project.

"We had an amazing experience with Sigura Construction on our backyard transformation project. They did a fantastic job building a swimming pool, outdoor kitchen, landscaping with pavers, and custom lighting. The entire crew was incredibly professional, thorough, and efficient, delivering top-quality work from start to finish. Ilan, the owner, was outstanding—easy to communicate with, professional, and highly knowledgeable about all the options for our project. He made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Our backyard now looks absolutely stunning, and we’re thrilled with the results. We have complete peace of mind knowing the work was done by true experts. We highly recommend Sigura Construction to anyone looking for exceptional construction services. Thanks again to Ilan and the team for a job well done!"

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

A green home is one that focuses on conservation, with the goal often being net-zero carbon emissions and self-sustainability. It will often include some kind of self-generation equipment, like solar panels or a small wind turbine, high-efficiency electrical components and mechanicals, and high-quality insulation and air sealing to reduce the loss of conditioned air. Many green homes also include xeriscaping or rainwater collection to cut down on drainage and water consumption.

While many different factors determine whether a house is classified as a villa, many villas are detached homes with a European design influence, often with an emphasis on luxury and comfort. Modern villas often feature outdoor spaces such as terraces, gardens, or patios.

On average, the cost of a home builder is about $150 per square foot, but that price can range from around $100 to $400 per square foot or more. That puts the typical price range of a standard, 2,000-square-foot house between $200,000 and $800,000. Some factors that affect the price of hiring a home builder include the following:

  • Location of your home and the living cost in the area

  • Type of foundation and framing you choose

  • Quality of the building materials

  • Footprint and layout of the house

  • Number of stories

  • Builder’s experience

One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.

Ultimately, a work warranty is only as reliable as the contractor you’ve hired. That’s why trust and reputation are such important factors, in addition to having a solid contract and confirming appropriate licensing, insurance, and bonding. When looking for a contractor, it’s a good idea to read online reviews and ratings to see what kind of experience past customers have had. Issues with your contractor can make for an unsatisfying renovation process, but a reliable contractor can make the process go as smoothly as possible.
