"Construction & More built a straight and level brick mailbox post with the mailbox permanently in the brick. They started with a concrete foundation in the ground. They did not have a “printed plan” on paper but built what I wanted from my hand drawn picture and an IPhone photo of another post in my neighborhood. We just needed to order a cap stone for the top of the post and it will fit on the top of the post in the custom size the post is built. The brick mason was skilled and we just had to get him started using my hand drawing and photo. It will be in front of my house forever."

"Called in claim on 6/18; tech assigned on 6 /19; so far so good. Claim was for failed well pump with NO water to my home with two disabled seniors. Due to heavy workload and no extra pay on weekends the tech came for diagnostics 4 days later. He verified the failed pump and tried to purchase one at Home Depot. None in stock, had to be ordered. Pump came in on 6/30 and tech arrived today, 7/1, and expertly installed the new pump. Choice has a $ 500 limit on well repair, which is 1/3 of a typical bill. That dollar cap is riduculous. On a positive note, C-Force provides expert work for Choice and would be my choice for any future work."

"We were so lucky to have the community support from Girard Homes! They helped us remove an old dance floor, which was water and mold damaged and then installed our new dance floor. As a nonprofit, professional dance company and school, to have the help and quality of work Girard Homes provided, is so greatly needed and appreciated. I would absolutely hire them to do additional work on our own home. Thank you!"

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

Prioritize basement waterproofing and drainage systems during early home building, as Columbia experiences significant rainfall and heavy clay soils. Next, upgrade your attic insulation and seal air leaks to manage the extreme seasonal temperatures. You should also assess your heating and cooling systems to ensure they meet current energy standards. Finally, evaluate your site grading to direct stormwater safely away from your foundation.

Helpful?

Strict zoning constraints shape home building designs by limiting building heights, lot coverage, and setbacks. You must reconcile aesthetic desires, like large windows or wraparound porches, with strict energy codes and property line rules. Additionally, Missouri’s climate requires functional integrations like deep basements and interior tornado safe rooms. These necessary structural elements directly dictate your above-grade floor plan, stairwell placement, and overall architectural flow.

Helpful?

Hire local professionals with proven experience handling central Missouri’s clay soils and variable seasons. You must verify that your contractor holds active registrations and required trade licenses. Confirm they carry liability and workers' compensation insurance before any work begins. Choose builders who thoroughly understand local code amendments and zoning regulations to prevent compliance issues regarding setbacks, energy efficiency, and stormwater management during your home building process.

Helpful?

A frequent mistake during home building is ignoring the region's expansive clay soil. You must test the soil and use engineered foundations to prevent severe cracking. Another error is starting construction without securing local permits, which results in forced demolition of unpermitted work. Finally, homeowners often underspecify insulation and vapor barriers, leaving basements vulnerable to MO’s extreme temperature swings. Always verify zoning rules before finalizing your design.

Helpful?

Local inspectors closely evaluate the foundation during home building to ensure proper footing depth and waterproofing against Columbia’s heavy clay soils. They scrutinize structural framing, checking connections and bracing to withstand high winds. Inspectors also examine electrical, plumbing, and mechanical rough-ins before walls are closed. Finally, officials rigorously assess energy code compliance, verifying insulation levels and checking erosion control measures to manage stormwater runoff effectively.
