 There are many ways a builder may choose to charge for a new home construction. There is the cost plus. There is the percentage program. There is also the set fee. All three should have an allowance for each category of building the home.

The way Kraftwood sees it. When a new client wants a home built. They don’t know what the flooring will cost, or cabinets, plumbing fixtures, Electrical fixtures or carpet. We see other builders that give set pricing giving unrealistic allowances. The average home owner buying into a fixed contract doesn’t really know what there getting. The buyer does learn when its time shop for their kitchen or bath.

 Often, they find everything they really wanted in their kitchen is twice the cost what the builder aloud. This is so unfair. At that point surprise, it now becomes and extra expense to get what you want in your new home to get what you dreamed of.

When entering into a percentage agreement that the builder may ask for 20 to 30 percent of all cost the home as his fee. Kraftwood feels this is a conflict of interest and is the opposite in the way we function. The builder has no incentive to get best pricing. The more cost the more he gets.

With Kraftwoods cost plus pricing program we stive to save our clients every penny we can once they except our cost-plus fee program. Our average is 60 to 80 thousand, depending on the home details.
