Thank you for your interest in Ekren Construction as your Custom Home Builder in Charlotte NC! Below are some of the answers to our most frequently asked questions. If you still have a question after taking a look, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
There are many factors to consider when timing the construction of a custom home. One should expect between 12-28 weeks.
We do not have a blanket “per square foot” price. Every project is different and without knowing all of the nuances and context of a given project, it’s tough to give ballpark figures. We provide detailed, line-itemed, proposals once we have a finalized design. Most homes and remodels fall between $90-250 per square foot.
Yes, we work with several realtors who are well versed in the Charlotte real estate marketplace.
We work with several architects who are masters at their craft. This process usually takes 1-3 months.
We take great measures to ensure every home we build is built to last. Our site supervisor is on site daily and we aim to have work happening every single day until the project is complete. At any given time, we have no more than 5 active projects running; this ensures every client's project is getting individualized attention and we hit every tiny detail.
Categorizing materials into allowances is our way of providing transparency while also putting the client in control of the project. As with pretty much everything, there is a price continuum with finish materials. As an example, you could purchase a $1,200 refrigerator while you could also spend $8,000 on a SubZero. The same goes with all finish selections (windows, doors, flooring, cabinets, plumbing, electrical fixtures, etc.) Our allowance method passes any contractor discounts we receive onto you, our client.
Every new construction home we build comes with a 10-year structural and a 2-year limited warranty. For additions, we offer the same warranty as a new build. Our remodel clients are offered a 1, 6, and 12-month follow up walk-through to ensure everything is in working order and things like potential nail pops, plumbing, electrical and mechanical systems are functioning properly.
