We’ll help avoid the biggest mistakes made when buying land and building a house.

Years of listening to families and friends talk about home building has enabled us to realize that the apprehension most people feel about building can be narrowed down to five main fears.

1. Fear of the time they need to dedicate to planning and building.
2. Fear of making the big decisions.
3. Fear of getting ripped off by unforeseen change orders or unfulfilled promises.
4. Fear of what the building will cost them.
5. Fear of something going wrong.

Identifying these five fears led me to realize the need to offer guidance to assist in planning and building a new home. Saterdalen & Associates Construction Consultants has been established as a resource to share our process of planning and building a new home. We recognized an industry that was shrouded in mystery and confusion to the average person when considering building a new home. Based on our home building and other construction successes, we will unpackage the whole process, and put it back together to create a reliable and proven solution that will help families build a home that will help them realize their dream.

Five Fears Holding You Back From Building Your Dream Home

1.  Worried you won’t have the time.

One of your fears may be that building will take up too much of your time so you are thinking of just purchasing an existing home.  Apart from missing out on potential savings and creating instant equity, you’ll also miss out on your chance to live in a home that’s been tailored perfectly to suit your needs. As a result of settling for an existing home you’ll find yourself continuing to experience some of the frustrations you’ve always felt because your new home will be good, but not perfect.

With our help, it’s possible to organize your home build in 5 simple steps.  We’ll take you on a journey where you’re in control the whole time.  No over budgeting, no indecisions, no wrong turns, no dead ends – a predetermined and planned ride to your dream home.  Building takes time and becomes a hassle when you don’t know where to start, where to turn or what to look out for along the way.  So, if you want to build the dream home that your budget can afford, but didn’t think you had the time, think again.

2.  Worried you won’t have the money.

You like the idea of building but you’re concerned about what it’s going to cost. Building seems like the expensive option.  If you believe this, you could decide to buy an existing home within your budget despite it possibly needing work to make it right for you.  After a while you could find that the work is a drag not only your time, but also on your budget.

Building a new home can result in the dream home your budget can afford by letting you spend on the areas of your home that will bring you the most happiness.

To help you prioritize and understand what your dream home looks like we use a process that makes it easy to prioritize your home according to needs, wants and desires.  In fact, regardless of your budget, you could be living in a new home designed specifically for you with minimal maintenance.  It will feel great to know that the money you would have spent in realtor commission fees alone if buying an existing home, could mean tens of thousands of dollars more for you to put into your new home.

3.  Worried about making the big decisions.

You’ve thought about building for years. It’s making the big decisions that holds you back from getting started such as choosing a builder and a search for land. It’s easy to procrastinate when you feel unsure.

But you don’t need to procrastinate to the point where it’s costing you money or lifestyle.  Maybe you’re still paying rent or you plan to simply spend another year in a place that you’ve outgrown.  If either of these things defines your housing, then you’ll love joining us on the journey to building your dream home.

We can quickly transform scary decisions into straight forward simple solutions.

Going through our five step process will result in a plan that makes it easy to reach your destination.  Each step keeps you in control by making the big decisions smaller and manageable.  It tells you exactly where to you need to start, which way to turn and what to look out for along the way.

4.  Worried how you’ll save for a deposit.

You’ve been saving for a deposit to build a house.  It’s been hard saving that kind of money while also meeting the financial responsibilities of your family.  The repayments will be no problem, it’s saving for the deposit that’s the killer.

5.  Worried about getting ripped off.

There’s a lot of horror stories out there, most of which could have been avoided with good advice.  The biggest regrets people have are from things that they didn’t know to look out for.  In reality, the quality of the home you build is usually the quality that your budget will enable.
