Is an A-frame home cheaper to build than a traditional house?

• <div><p>An A-frame home can be cheaper to build than a traditional house, but that is not always a given. Prices can be fairly similar in some cases, depending on the location, design, and necessary site preparation. Costs for an A-frame typically run between <b>$100 to $200 per square foot</b>, which is comparable to the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-build-house.htm">cost of a traditional home</a>. The cost of an A-frame can come in under those numbers if you opt for a prefabricated kit.</p></div>

Q: Can you build a house without blueprints?

• <div><p>Building a house without blueprints is not advised. It will prevent you from obtaining necessary building permits and meeting building codes and is likely to result in shoddy construction and unsafe living conditions. Detailed blueprints ensure that a house is built to exact specifications and is constructed safely and structurally stable.</p></div>

Q: Is a structural engineer the same as a builder?

• <div><p>No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.</p></div>

Q: Is it possible to finance new construction?

• <div><p>Yes, there are a few different ways you can finance new construction. Some lenders offer new construction loans that cover the building costs and then convert to a standard mortgage once construction is complete. Some custom homebuilders also offer financing options that only require a down payment before you begin the building process. Construction loans are possible, as well, although they typically only cover the building process, and you&rsquo;ll need to pay in full once the house is completed.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to build a modular home?

• <div><p>It usually takes around <b>four to six months</b> to build and install a modular home, although your timeline could go up to around eight months if there are delays in the manufacturing or permitting process. Heavy site preparation and foundation pouring can extend that timeline if you need them, as can customizations you want for your modular home. Your modular home company should be able to provide an estimate for the construction timeline before you sign any contracts or agree to any work.</p></div>

Scott arrived as a serious snow event was taking place. The sanitary line hadn't been opened in 25 years. It took two hours of attention, to get enough of an opening, to get hot water to pass through the build up. Once opened, full flow was returned, and the problem solved. Scott left the area...

It went great! Although we paid quite a bit for this project (one 8' slider and one sidelight plus an entrance door to our garage) I was very impressed with the company in general --- I guess you get what you pay for! The salesman came out and we discussed the project. The installer then came...

Excellent work from beginning to end. Even reworked the old trellis to fit new deck. Had 3 estimates and Shafer's was lowest price with a much studier build deck. I just wish a lot of the deck boards were not installed with the ink stampings visable but that may have been due to grain or...
