Our team approach creates a strong working relationship between our client and Wakefield Homes. From the beginning, Wakefield and our client work together to review requirements and goals and to obtain a thorough understanding of the client's needs and budget. We have found that clear and constructive communication sets the tone for each project.
We insist upon cost-effective, quality construction. Each new home project is "Value Engineered" and includes quality products, conventional building systems and efficient construction techniques. This attention to detail contributes to the thoughtful cost control of the project.
The client is fully involved in all design and construction phases. Our program offers several phases whereby the client can elect to proceed to the next phase after approving the previous phase or can elect to stop the design process. This ability protects the client from being committed to high design fees commonly associated with architectural services that do not include the benefit of a builder review and budgeting.
We utilize the design services of an independent architect who is familiar with our portfolio home plans and is a custom home designer. He is available to meet with clients as needed.
We work from our predesigned Portfolio of house plans which minimizes design cost and design development time. Using our portfolio homes and option packages, we can more readily prepare a construction budget for our clients, and add and subtract options.
Finally, Wakefield Homes performs the site engineering and permitting tasks to obtain the building permit for the client.
