"Ed Martin and �Your Way Construction� did a great job! Ed is a professional and he knows the construction business. His work was competitively priced, completed on time and under budget! Ed is honest, dependable and takes personal pride in his work. As a customer, it was refreshing to work with a person who took ownership of his work and then followed through to make sure I was totally satisfied. I thought working with people like this was a thing of the past. Bottom line: Would I recommend Ed Martin and �Your Way Construction to others�? Would I contract with him again? Absolutely, I would! - - John L."

"It was very frustrating because of delays, he told me it would take about 2-3 weeks initially, and took well over 3 months.  It was very difficult to get a hold of this provider, and to get them out on the dates that were scheduled.   We live in a community with a Home Owners Associations and needed documents in order to do our project, which took over a month to get turned in.  I have since tried to get a hold of the provider regarding our windows not working properly, but still have yet to receive a phone call back.  It is disappointing that this company will not return my phone calls after the job has already been paid for. "

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

To get a quote from a builder or general contractor, contact them over the phone or online and explain your project. If you already have house plans drawn up, they’ll need to review them to determine the project's scope before providing you with a quote. Ask for your quote in writing and compare quotes from several pros before choosing the best one for your needs.

A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. Custom homes cost more and take longer to build.

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.
