Custom Home Builder in Dallas - Fort Worth

As a third-generation California home builder, I enjoy building relationships with our clients and transforming their dreams into reality. At RBC Construction, our mission is not only to design, build and renovate the highest quality homes, but to create a stress-free and enjoyable process for our clients. We believe its our responsibility to be our clients trusted adviser and always operate with their best interests in mind. Learn More +

RBC Constructionis one of the premier residential design build firms in California, designing and building luxury residences for valued clients throughout the state for manyyears. OurCA design build philosophyfocuses on the idea of our clients having a single source solution for creating the home of their dreams. We are the master builder who accepts full responsibility for designing and constructing each project from concept to completion.

While many homeowners are familiar with the somewhat traditional path of first hiring an architect to design a home, and then researching and hiring the best CAcustom home builder to build that home based on the accepted design, we streamline the process by bringing all areas of expertise under one roof, which ultimately saves all parties involved time, money, and energy.

Thiscollaborative approach to Southern Californiadesign buildmeans that, as a homeowner, you can have your dream home designed in accordance with your budget and with realistic expectations of what can and cannot be done within your price range. Our clients are busy professionals who appreciate the convenience of working with one firm for every stage of their project, from conception through certificate of occupancy.

If you have ever built a home by working with an architect for your CAhouse plans and a separate construction company to build your home, you may be familiar with the back and forth that often eats up time and budget. Frustrating aspects of this type of arrangement include waiting weeks to make simple design changes, getting charged extra for each design revision, having a set of home plans that specify a home that is not aligned with your budget, and general design and construction delays.

At RBC Construction, we have an obsession with making your custom home building experience as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. Whether you came to our site looking for a Californiaarchitect or a luxury home builder, you will find valuable information on our site that should put you in a better position to make educated decisions about your next residence.

Our Design-Build approach to custom homes in Riverside and San Bernardino Countiespromotes the five pillar benefits associated with the design-build process:

Residential design-build in Southern Californiaincorporates both the architectural and design phase with the new home construction phase under a single contract. This means that the homeowners control of the entire home design and building process is bolstered and financial risk is minimized by working with a single firm likeRBCthat is fully committed to the success of the project.

Contrary to the traditional model, our design-build team works closely with each client to accurately conceptualize the project at a very early stage. Once we establish a working budget for your project, based on your vision and your resources, we can design a home that falls within that range. The alternative, unfortunately all too often, is hiring a reputablearchitectural firm to design your new $3 Million home that, in reality, would cost $5 Million. In this case, after receiving quotes from builders that are far above your budget, you would then have to go back to the architect, pay for a round of revisions, and hope that the firm can revised the design to fit your budget. This back and forth obviously costs you time and money and ultimately delays the final completion date of your new home.

With a single-source Californiadesign-build firm such as RBC, the design and construction processes can often be overlapped, which means that we can begin on your foundation as soon as your foundation and utility relocation designs are complete, and work on designing other aspects of your home along the way. Such concurrent activities provide an accelerated new home building process and get you in your dream home as soon as possible, without sacrificing quality and workmanship.

When done properly, the design-build approach tonew home construction in Californiainherently produces a higher quality product than the separate, oft conflicting architect + contractor approach. Since the design-build firm is responsible for both the design and build aspects and fully responsible for the outcome of the project, it is in our best interests to use the highest quality materials and dedicate the highest quality workmanship to each project to ensure that it is built to exceed our clients expectations. Since the design and build teams are integrated under one roof, the build team can fully understand and interpret the designs and build your home exactly how it was designed on paper.

When a homeowner contracts with an architectural firm in CAand a separate custom home builder in your local area, there is a certain level of risk that the homeowner assumes for the home design. If the architect makes errors in the design, or if the design isnt interpreted exactly how the homeowner had conceptualized, there is a risk that the home wont turn out precisely as expected. In the design-build model, the homeowner is not liable for any of these types of errors because our design and build teams are under the same roof and we take full responsibility for building to design as specified. This shifting of liability for design quality from the homeowner to the design-build firm is perhaps the biggest advantage of the design-build model the luxury home building in Palm Desert, Palm Springs, or anywhere else for that matter.

Because the integrated design-build model is not widely popular in Riverside County(yet), the concept may be entirely new to you. This will especially be the case if you have designed and built a home before with the traditional architectural firm + custom home builder approach. While we cant say that there is one correct model for every homeowner, we strongly believe that the advantages outlined above make sense for most homeowners who are looking to design and build their next dream residence. Our belief is that, whether you are looking to build inRiverside Countyor San Bernardino County, you will find that the single solution design-build approach makes the most sense for you and your family, as it ultimately saves time and money and in most cases increases the quality of your new home.

We at RBChave developed our collaborative design-build solution with ourvalued clientelein mind. Our goal is to provide the most pleasant and stress-free new home building experience possible, provide full transparency, and communicate in a clear manner with all of our clients at every single step in the design and construction process.

If you feel that this approach may be suitable for you, pleasecontact us to schedule a meeting with usto learn more and to determine whether were a good fit to help you realize your dreams of building your very own custom home in the California Desert or Temecula Valley area.

If you are looking to design and build your dream home in Southern California, you want to make sure you spend some time to do your homework up front to ensure that you eventually hire the best possible custom home builder for your particular situation. Californiaarchitects and builders have different styles and different design aesthetics, not all of which will match your tastes. You may already know a general contractor in or even a luxury home builder in your area, but they may not necessarily be the right fit for your dream house design and construction project. When you research and interview different custom home builders, make sure you have a look at their project portfolios to get a feel for their style and workmanship.

Besides having different design and building styles, the best custom home builders in San Bernardino Countywill invariably have different price points, project schedules, and ways of approaching and managing projects. Of course price is always a big factor. You never want to pay more than you have to for your dream home. However, you want to be careful that you are paying enough. We all know that the low priced option is rarely the best option. You want to make sure that the price is fair enough that it enables the design build firm you chooseto build a beautiful home for you and your family.

In addition to budget considerations, when you are ready to make a purchasing decision, dont be afraid to ask your home builder or Southern California remodeling contractorfor a sample contract and payment schedule. And if possible, have someone you know and trust review the contract. After all, you are spending a lot of money and a lot of time when you build a new custom home in CA, so you want to make sure you have all your ducks in a row before beginning. A reliable and quality house builder will provide a fair payment schedule, where youre not giving the construction or development company a large down payment. There may be as many as a few dozen payments throughout the course of your design build project, depending on the scope and size.

When you are comfortable for the price of your CAluxury home, and you are also at ease with the payment schedule and contract, another thing you want to look at and consider is the project management and communication style of your chosen Temecula areahome builder. There are some companies where you will be able to talk with the owner whenever you want and who will visit your home on a regular basis. Then there are companies that are larger and you wont necessarily be talking directly with the owner or upper management. One way isnt better than the other; people just have different preferences and ways of operating. In our experience, our clients appreciate our hands on approach and the fact that our owner, Ron Bierma, is intimately involved with every design build or custom home building project. Ronis a carpenter by trade and has a keen eye for aesthetic details that we believe truly separates a Bierma Custom Homefrom the competition.

You know a healthy lawn when you see it: a smooth, lush green carpet, perfect for cartwheels and croquet. So why doesn't your lawn look like that? To get that perfect lawn you may have to change your mindset, says landscape designer Gary Alan (www.garyalan.com). "You know how in golf they say 'Be the ball'? Well, you've got to be the grass. You've got to think about what it needs," Gary says. The basics, he says, are pretty simple: sun, water and fertilizer. Once you get those down, everyone's happy you and your lawn. Here's how to get started.

Planting a new lawn is like any good adventure: preparation and planning are key. No matter which planting method you plan to use, you need to prepare the area thoroughly to banish weeds and make sure soil won't immediately crust over or compact into lumpy ruts. John Griggs, a master gardener in West Virginia, says the most important step and one that many gardeners skip is testing the pH of your soil. Do-it-yourself test kids are available from nurseries and catalogs, or you can take advantage of the testing offered by your state's designated agricultural university. "It might seem like a hassle, but testing your soil will save you from pouring money into the ground," John says.

Start by stripping the area of all weeds, including roots, even if that means taking off the top six inches. Then rototill to a depth of at least six inches to loosen compaction and improve drainage. It's extremely important to add loam and compost to enrich the soil; many experts suggest mixing equal parts of loam, sand and your original topsoil. You're best off in the long run if you incorporate a slight slope to facilitate drainage and prevent pooling. Finally, use a roller to pack down the soil, then grade the area with a metal rake. Be as thorough as you can remember, once you've put your seed or sod down, you can't go back and regrade.

No question but rolling out a carpet of sod is the quickest way to a beautiful lawn. But sod can get expensive, especially if your lawn is going to cover a large area. The alternative is seeding the area yourself, either by hand or with a method called hydroseeding, which has recently become quite popular. Long used by farmers to sow large fields, hydroseeding solves one of the main problems of hand seeding: even dispersal of seeds. The grass seed a mix of varieties blended for your climate and the type of use your lawn will get is mixed into a pulp made from virgin wood fibers, fertilizer and binding agents.

When it comes to sharing lawn secrets, the first one on many garden experts' lips is mowing height. "Most people mow their lawns way too short, which stresses out the grass," says Paul James, host of Gardening by the Yard. The secret, he says, is do less, not more: "I'm a great believer in benign neglect." He recommends raising the mower to the highest possible notch so you're mowing only the top third of the grass when you cut. Taller grass promotes better root development, Paul says, as well as shading the ground so it doesn't dry out as fast. An added benefit: the taller grass blocks the sun that weed seeds require to germinate. And don't believe for a moment that leaving grass taller is going to mean mowing more often, says Gary. "There's a big misunderstanding that a lot of people have that if they cut it shorter, they won't have to mow it as often," say Gary. "But that's absolutely false; it renews itself so fast that it doesn't save you any time."

"Water only once a week, but water deep" is the rule according to Paul. A weekly soaking helps roots extend deeper into the soil, while frequent shallow waterings tend to lead to thatch, that unsightly web of dry brown runners just above the soil. Watering deeply can also prevent chinch bugs, a pest that tends to attach dried, stressed out lawns across the midsection of the country. To figure out how much water your lawn needs, take your soil type into account: sandy soils dry out faster, while clay soils hold moisture longer and don't require watering as often.

For a newly seeded lawn, water every day for five to 10 minutes only. Your goal is to dampen the seeds without causing runoff that might wash them away or mar the surface with gullies. After the seeds sprout and the new grass is a half inch tall, water once a day for 15 to 20 minutes.

Even the healthiest lawn gets hungry and needs a solid meal. Twice a year, spring and fall, is the bare minimum most experts recommend for fertilization, though some add a feeding in the middle of the summer. But beware the common N-P-K (nitrogen-phosphate-potassium) fertilizers popular with most gardeners, says Gary; they don't provide everything your hungry grass needs. Instead, he recommends a complete fertilizer that includes micronutrients such as sulfur, copper and iron. "Just like you take a multivitamin, your grass needs one too," says Gary. In addition to regular fertilizing, he recommends an application of dolomitic lime every few years. This is because watering and fertilizing cause soil to become acidic over time and lime restores the pH while putting important minerals like calcium and magnesium back into the soil. In some Western areas, soils are naturally alkaline and may not have this problem, so it's best to test your soil's pH first.

No doubt about it, crabgrass is the bane of every lawn gardener's existence. But that doesn't mean herbicides are essential to a healthy lawn; in fact, many experts avoid them. The true secret to banishing weeds, they say, is to grow such healthy grass that it chokes out the invaders naturally. Mowing regularly helps too, because it tops off weeds like dandelions and crabgrass before they have a chance to scatter their seeds. When you do find yourself compelled to do battle against a path of weeds, Paul recommends using one of the new "natural" herbicides that derive their potency from corn gluten, salts from fatty acids or other nonchemical sources.

When grass gets too compacted, nutrients can't penetrate to the root system where they're most needed. That's where aeration poking holes in your lawn to improve oxygen circulation comes in. Most people aerate with a simple tool that looks like two hollow tubes attached to the end of a long handle. Of course, you can also just waltz around your lawn in spiked sports shoes that works fairly well too.

Some lawns have finer textures (think golf courses), while others feel like Astroturf under your feet. There are hundreds of types of grass available, and new varieties are developed every year.

As with all plant choices, climate plays a big role in determining which type of grass will work best for you soil type, rainfall and other factors also come into it. As a general rule, cool-season grasses go dormant during the warm weather, and warm-season grasses go dormant during the coolest months of the year; in areas where it's possible to have a green lawn all year round, you want a mixture of both these types. "I've lived in seven different states and I've had seven different lawns," says master gardener John Griggs, who believes a local nursery is one of the best sources of information on which type of grass will work best in your area. Here's a list of the most popular choices:
