Custom Builder Starts New Community in SC Builder Magazine Ground was broken on the first home in Congaree Bluff last December. To date, the custom builder has built three spec homes and two custom homes are under construction. Out of those five homes, four have been sold, while two more lot reservations are ...

Excerpt from:
Custom Builder Starts New Community in SC - Builder Magazine

Whether home construction is up or down, it's time for a parade at least once a year, and this time it's Sept. 9-17 and the Parade of Homes Fall Classic, an annual sidewalk sale of sorts for 77 years.

Construction is up so far this year compared with the same time last year, although, as usual, building activity varies by price range and location in the far-flung Oklahoma City metro area.

August ended with starts overall numbering 3,232, up 7.6 percent compared with the first eight months of 2016, according to The Builder Report by Dharma Inc. in Norman. However, construction was still at its lowest year to date since 2011.

With some Realtors using the word "shortage" to describe supply at entry-level and first-move-up price ranges in some parts of the metro area, it could mean high traffic at the 106 parade homes, which will be open free to the public from 1 to 7 p.m. each day.

Builders are offering homes at all prices in the Parade of Homes, said Rusty Appleton, executive director of the Central Oklahoma Home Builders Association, which has organized the event for nearly eight decades.

Maps and information on the entries are at http://www.paradeofhomesok.com. Download a free ticket and check in at five parade homes to be entered in a $1,000 drawing. Parade books are available at metro-area Best Buy locations.

"This is our signature event," Appleton said. "We're really excited this year."

Ridge Creek in Edmond, developed and with homes by Norman-based Foster Signature Homes, is the featured neighborhood, northwest of N Douglas Boulevard and Coffee Creek Road. Ridge Creek homes start in the high $300,000s.

Ridge Creek got notice earlier this year as the site of the St. Jude Dream Home raffled to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. The fundraiser fetched $703,832 for the hospital.

Because of road work, the best way to get to Ridge Creek is to take Covell Road east of Interstate 35 to Midwest Boulevard, then north to Coffee Creek Road and east to Douglas, said parade chairman Dusty Hutchison, owner of Alder Fine Homes in Edmond.

"There's a little bit of a catch there, but the good news is there's plenty of parade homes along the detour," Hutchison said.

Through August, homebuilding was virtually flat compared with the same time last year in north Oklahoma City (up 0.9 percent) and up a lot in Edmond (62.6 percent); and down in south Oklahoma City (9.8 percent), Moore (11 percent) and Norman (5 percent), according to The Builder Report.

Construction was up significantly in Mustang, Newcastle, Noble and Yukon, The Builder Report reported.

Appleton said the ups and downs depend on the builders and what they're building.

"When I talk to builders, I can ask them what the state of the market is, and if I get five different builders, I get five different answers," he said. "As best I can put together, it seems like the entry-level are still moving, and many of our volume builders that build in that market are doing quite well.

"It also sounds like many of our high-end custom builders that build for buyers over $1 million or so are still busy, as well. There's kind of a doughnut hole in the $350,000-$500,000-$600,000, somewhere in there, where I feel like the houses aren't moving as well, and the buyer is a lot more cautious in that price range."

CAPE CORAL, Fla. -

A reputable Cape Coral home builder abruptly closed his business, leaving customers out hundreds of thousands of dollars.

There are 17 open cases against Southern Premier Homes three months after the company shut down.

Sixteen of those cases were filed in the last two months.

The owner, Chris Cheney, is under scrutiny for accepting payments from some of those customers the same week he shut down.

Dalia and Rolandas Girdvainis paid Cheney a $10,000 deposit, and a $27,000 first draw. One year later all they have to show for it is an empty lot.

"Just sad. We are sad. We felt, what did we do wrong? How did this happen?" Dalia Girdvainis said.

The Girdvainis' did their homework before hiring Cheney, checking his credentials and talking with his references. He had a stellar resume online.

He was even featured in Gulfshore Business Magazine's 40 Under 40 article, last year.

"It looks like we did everything right," Girdvainis said.

Lisa and Randy Johnson of Pine Island share a similar story. They're out $15,000.

"It was quite devastating to find out that the money had just been taken from us," Lisa Johnson said.

In addition to leaving buyers high and dry, Cheney also burned his sub-contractors. And in Florida, when sub-contractors aren't paid by the general contractor, the homeowner has to pay a second time to cover the contractor's bad debt.

"Not only do they have a problem with Southern Premiere, but they have a number of sub-contractors who Southern Premiere did not pay," real estate attorney Kevin Jursinski said. "Those sub-contractors have now filed liens against my clients' house, seeking to get payment against my client, when she already paid Southern Premiere for their work."

Where is Chris Cheney and where is the money he took from all of these people?

The NBC2 Investigators went to his former business, but the space is now occupied by new tenants. We also went to his home in Cape Harbor, but he didn't answer the door.

We learned that he has hired a Cape Coral attorney, but the attorney declined to talk with us about this report.

The Department of Business and Professional Regulation has also ordered the emergency suspension of both of Cheney's licenses, Certified Residential Contractor and Financial Responsible Officer.

Its been nearly ten years since the start of the great recession the recession that wiped out many a home builder. Not Peter B. Rotelle, who leads his familys business, Rotelle Development Co.

We revamped ourselves, I think, to take a step towards a more conservative business model in a risky business already, Rotelle said during our Executive Q&A interview published in the Sunday business section of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

I guess I can say it this way. Ive always been conservative in business. Im in a risky business, land developer and home building. So, my business demeanor has always been very conservative, because Ive always hedged against the down market. So, we made it through 2008 and we paid every bill. It wasnt peaches and cream, but we made it through, kept staff and we did it.

Gosh, I would say a tremendous amount of conservative decisions in a half a decade prior to 2008, not getting caught up in the hype of having to feed the engine and grow ego. Probably ego is the big thing. Check it at the door. I watched a lot of companies my size double or triple, quadruple. All of them disappeared.

Actually, we grew from 20 houses to 100 houses a year. Could we have gone to 200? Im sure, but it was a conscious decision not to.

Oh, yeah, we experienced great growth. But, once again, conservative cash flow management, prudent decisions. Someone in the land development business whom I respected at the time said, `Let me tell you: The best deal Ive ever done is the deal I never did. That stuck with me.

That was just great because you get caught up in a bidding war and you end up buying something, forecasting out three to five years when its going to come online and get approved and ready to go. You put the infrastructure in and borrow big money from the bank, and lets say its a four-year build out. Youre looking at almost close to a decade [before you get a return]. Who can predict that length of time for the economy. Economists are only right half the time. So, how am I going to do that?

Well, something that seemed as if it was a battle with the township, as far as the approval process going into litigation and drawing it out even further.

The price point, it was just rising too fast. You buy a piece of ground for say $10,000 an acre and the next time it was $12,000 and then it was $15,000 and $20,000. At some point, I looked at our inventory and I said, `We have enough inventory right now. I dont think we should be purchasing any more ground to put into land bank. And, thank goodness, we had a really good loan to value ratio on all of our assets. So, when 2008 hit, we were not really crushed on one single project. Probably half of it we owned and half we had debt on. So, thats pretty much not customary in our business.

Im entrenched in the business. Im passionate about it. I was president of the Home Builders Association of Bucks and Montgomery Counties. I know a tremendous amount of land developer and builders. Im part of a 20 Group.

Its a national group, sanctioned by the National Association of Home Builders. We will get together and compare financials and notes. We had the same chart of accounts. So, we know exactly what our profit margins were against other people in the country. Same industry, same size, but not in our geographical area.

Yes. We had a floating CFO and wed put all of our financials on the same chart of accounts that we could compare apples-to-apples. Granted, there were market conditions that were particular to certain areas, but theyre easy to find and discount. But, it was a great way to measure yourself against [similar] companies, and to figure out how you can better and get good ideas.

So, through that, I was aware of what other organizations were doing as far as land acquisition. And, a lot of times, it was the land acquisition without money down, and then youre banking on the rise in the ground. Youre going to go ahead and improve it. Youre going to increase the value by taking it through the approval process. You may get gap financing for the next piece to put in there. Then, at the end when the music stops, the door knocks. Its the bank saying, `Hey, were looking for our money.

Well, thats a great question. I put together a board for my company back in the late 1900s, early 2000s. I was in my early 30s, and probably when I was in my late 20s. I was doing multi-million dollar deals. I put together what I thought was a highly decorated group of gentlemen from different disciplines. No one with building experience, because I felt we were experts in that. But, all with great minds, who had run their own companies with a different perspective.

So, I put together an advisory board of five. So, if there were large decisions that I wanted wisdom on, we met quarterly. I presented them financials and so on and so forth. So, I think with the conservative nature of this business, I never really felt that I was stomaching a lot.

Things seemed to always work out. I think Id be a fool to believe that its just hard work. Theres definitely luck, but you have to be in the game, and you have to create your luck and recognize it or opportunity. Weve had some tremendous things happen. It doesnt matter how intelligent you are or how articulate or how conservative, how savvy. The chips fall your way, and Im a big believer in being grateful for that, and recognizing that. It kind of comes around and goes around.

It was like a faucet.

Humming along, musics loud, everybodys dancing and then theres just a screeching halt. Sales just come to an end.Traffic dies. There are no sales. It just rips through the media, which then crushes consumer confidence. If you think about it, there was a time before the recovery when it was absolutely a tremendous time to buy a home. But consumer confidence was decimated, plus the lending institutions werent lending money. It was a great time to buy. It was the best time to buy.

If you had money and you werent upside down on your home.

Peter Rotelle: Surviving the recession. - Philly.com

On Friday, Aug. 4, 2017, the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley lost one its finest home builders. Roderick Neil Thomas passed at his Clarkston Heights home after a short battle with congestive heart failure. He was 88.

Rod was born June 9, 1929, in Bowman, N.D., to Ethel and Guy Thomas. In 1934, the family moved to Baker, Mont., where Guy worked as an electrician. During his school years, Rod was active in Boy Scouts, football and basketball. Summers were spent working hard on the family homestead in Mott, N.D.

Shortly after his graduation from Baker High School in 1947, Rod followed the suggestion of his cousin, Jeannine, and moved to Clarkston, where he apprenticed with his uncle, Harold Ebert, a local builder. To his delight, he found a charming community, loving family, a vocation for which he was well suited and no mosquitoes.

On June 30, 1950, Rod married Nancy Marie Plunkett of Clarkston. She was the love of his life. Together, they raised three lovely children: David, Don and Diane. Rod spent his spare time improving their home, hunting, traveling across the country to church conventions and spending time with family. Eventually, he built three custom homes for the family.

Rod had a genuine faith in the promises of God, the great hope of the Bible for all who have died, that they shall live again. For Jesus Christ, by the grace of God, tasted death for every man, a ransom for all. Christ's millennial kingdom will bring the restitution of all that was lost in Adam.

Over the years, Rod worked on many local projects, including bridges, schools and churches. In time, he became a self-employed contractor, building quality homes with unique touches. Rod spent many years building homes across the Pacific Northwest for Capp Homes. Job sites were frequently in remote locations. The family spent summer months living out of a travel trailer - David and Don building alongside their dad, Nancy and Diane taking care of their boys and the family cats supervising it all.

In 1983, Rod and Nancy moved to Gresham, Ore., where Rod spent many years building the Bible Student's Retirement Center for his church. During this time, they also devoted themselves to caring for their son David, who had become severely handicapped.

Rod and Nancy returned to Clarkston in 1999 when Rod was diagnosed with lymphoma. The prognosis was grim, but he beat the odds and resumed building. Rod successfully fought several additional cancers over the years, but it was Nancy's sudden death in 2010 that was most devastating. Rod continued on with his faith, the support of his family and the sense of accomplishment he gained by serving others.

From 2011 to 2017, Rod did volunteer work for Interlink, Inc. He gave rides to the elderly and those with disabilities. He donated more than 6,000 hours of service and more than 35,000 miles of transportation.

Rod is survived by son Don (and wife Becky) Thomas of Fontana, Calif.; daughter Diane (and husband Dave) Bennett of Asotin; granddaughter Lusha (and husband Jason) Evans of Colton; and sister Carmen of Jonesboro, Ga. He was preceded in death by wife Nancy and son David.

Those who knew Rod well will remember his good looks, his big, blue eyes, vise-grip handshake, love of family, friends and the Lord, quality built homes, willingness to help others, honesty and integrity. As his Interlink clients so often told his sister Carmen, "He's the best one."

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at Merchant Funeral Home in Clarkston. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations are made to Interlink, Inc., 817A Sixth St., Clarkston, WA 99403.

Excerpt from:
Daunno Development Home Builder, General Contractor ...

The Best Construction Companies in Hudson County NJ Are the Ones Proven Safe To Hire The state of New Jersey requires only that residential general contractors in Hudson County NJ be registered with the state as New Home Builders in order to do residential construction, with no test or exam as to ability or knowledge, so there is no state standard for competency and reliability among custom home builders and other residential construction companies. There is no such registration required of commercial general contractors, such as builders of office buildings, medical buildings, malls and other retail construction.

So obviously even the state registration for New Home Builders is no guarantee that any particular general contractor in Hudson County NJ is even competent, is doing business ethically, providing value, or satisfying their customers.

This makes it all the more significant that all residential or commercial construction companies in Hudson County NJ who bear The Prime Buyer's Report-TOP 10 symbol have been cleared by our research staff as passing all the requirements for Prime Buyer's Report-TOP 10 status such as survey phone calls to previous customers to verify high satisfaction, good complaint record, verified state registration (for home builders), verified worker's comp and liability insurance, only employees legal to work in the U.S., and more.

Step 2: Ask Questions and Take Notes Before you create a list of possible general contractors for your construction project, ask them some important questions about their technical abilities, experience, and the specifics of your construction project. When the general contractors ask you questions, take notes on their concerns. They may reveal some aspects of the construction that are new to you.

Ask the general contractors the following questions about their experience, abilities, and methods:

How long have they been builders in Hudson County NJ specifically?

How many other projects have they done that are like yours? (Custom home building versus commercial building, etc.)

Will the general contractor give you names and numbers of cusomters that you can call as references? (All general contractors bearing the Prime Buyer's Report-TOP 10 symbol have already had customers references called by our research staff so you don't have to.)

How long will it take them to prepare a written bid once they conduct the estimate?

Will they show you proof of workers' compensation and liability insurance? (All general contractors in Hudson County NJ bearing the Prime Buyer's Report-TOP 10 symbol have already had proof of insurance verified by our research staff so you don't have to.)

Will the general contractor prove that all their workers sent to your property are legally allowed to work in the U.S.? (All builders in Hudson County NJ bearing The Prime Buyer's Report-TOP 10 symbol have already signed an agreement to only hire legally documented workers.)

How do they determine pricing? For example is it T&M (time and materials) or a flat price and how are cost overruns handled?

Will they give you a written contract that details the exact brands of products, model numbers, materials and amounts to be used? Neglecting to show those in writing is a way that seemingly cheap contractors unrealistically underbid others to get your project. Either you're getting poor materials that look bad or will fail. or you request better materials once the job is underway and the cost goes up accordingly.

What type of written guarantee does each of the construction companies provide and what are the terms?

Will construction permits be needed? If so, will the general contractors be responsible for getting those or do they leave that to you? Failure to get permits is another way cheap contractors in Hudson County are able to underbid legitimate ones. Unfortunately unpermitted work can stop you from selling the property and even make you liable you to big fines and repair costs to get it to code.

Will they be bringing in subcontractors for your project and if so, what are those company names?

How often and when will they clean up the work site?

When you've chosen the best contractors in Hudson County NJ for your specific needs, make sure they are registered with the state of New Jersey (if custom home builders). (All home builders in Hudson County bearing the Prime Buyer's Report-TOP 10 symbol have already had their state registration status as New Home Builders verified by our research staff so you don't have to.)

Write a Description of the Job for the Builders Write up a paragraph or two (depending on the intricacy of the job) about the project specifics before contacting construction companies in Hudson County NJ. Since each general contractor will see the same written specifics, you'll be sure that you are comparing responses on an equal basis. Then you can better judge which construction company gave you the best answers to your consistent description.

Don't Decide Based on Price Alone It's okay to get a few separate estimates for comparison. But remember, price should not be your only determining factor. The cheap contractors in Hudson County NJ are usually not the best ones, and a cheap bid often turns out to be the most expensive in the long run due to cost overruns, or poor work that has to be fixed or redone by someone else.

Get it in Writing Ask builders to give you everything in writing to prevent conflicts later. Ask the general contractors to provide you with a written description of the construction work, pricing and a time frame for completion.

Maintain Great Communication During Construction. Communication is an often overlooked skill with general contractors. But to maintain a successful working relationship, both parties must make keep one another informed. If you have doubt about how the project is going, don't jump to conclusions. Instead, call and ask the builder about your concerns. There may be a reasonable explanation for changes or delays.

Commitment In Advance to do a Walk-Through Upon Completion After the project is finished, return to the agreement you signed and walk through the site with the most senior staff member available at the construction company to compare the results to the particulars in the contract. Bring up any items that differ from what was agreed to.
