6 Steps to a JFH Build
Frequently Asked Building Questions
How much would a custom home cost?
While this is a commonly asked question, it is difficult to answer because the price is specific to the home being built. One of the factors to consider is location, whether you are building in town or on an acreage can make a difference. For example, an acreage will have additional costs such as bringing in services and building a driveway. Other factors will include the size/style of the home, the design and the finishes you select. JFH is happy to provide you with a quote that reflects your wants and needs.
I’ve gotten 3 different quotes from 3 different builders, how do I know who to choose?
Trust your instincts! Cheaper is not always better. Look at the small details. Sometimes builders will try to keep their costs down by meeting the bare minimum code requirements. This is fine if you are not expecting more, but it can drastically change the cost of building. If the quotes are drastically different, make sure to ask why! Make sure you’re comparing apples to apples.
Do I need a Designer or Architect before talking to you?
The simple answer is no. We’ve partnered with amazing Designers, Engineers and Architects in Edmonton already so that you don’t have to stress about it.
With that being said, you are welcome to use your own Designers and/or Architects if you already have someone specific in mind that you would like to work with.
How long is my project going to take?
While this is a hard question to answer, building a new home will typically take approx. 10-12 months. Each project will vary depending on the size and the details of the design. JFH will provide you with an estimated timeline for your project and we keep you updated every step of the way.
