Why You Should Build a Custom Home.

05.03.12

As spring arrives and we begin to see some signs of economic improvement on the horizon, many people’s thoughts are envisioning a new home. Some clients have asked if it makes sense to build a custom home and there are many reasons to build to do so.

If you want a home that suits your style with a well-thought out floor plan and is designed around your daily life, nothing compares to custom. Oftentimes, people consider buying a home that’s a really good deal, but spend more money than they bargain for to modify or upgrade it to their family’s needs. A custom home reflects your style in every detail, from the exterior design and colors to how the interior flows.

A custom home is sized to fit your lifestyle and budget. Simply put, more square footage costs more to build and maintain. With a custom home, you can maximize the value of every square foot and customize it for the way your family lives, so you won’t pay for wasted space, i.e. home maintenance, landscaping or heating and air, to name a few.

Additionally, when building a custom home, you and your builder have the exclusive opportunity to make certain that it fits your homesite. You can orient your home to get the perfect view of a lagoon or golf course or design it to maintain privacy and enjoy the natural beauty of your surroundings.

In designing and building a custom home, everything works together beautifully to fit your family’s needs, tastes and lifestyle. And when you deal with H2 Builders, a contractor who can help you think outside of the box, the results are certain to be as distinct as you are.

What Homeowners are saying

“Simply Amazing!”

Simply Amazing! The team at H2 helped bring our visions for our dream home to life. They are honest, kind, and all-around great people. Could have not asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

- Dave & Jodi, Palmetto Bluff

“The Building Process Was a Pleasure”

We had interviewed three other quality builders who appeared to build a good house and on the surface seemed lower cost than H2. Our decision to build with H2 was the right one as the building process was a pleasure. There were no hidden costs and no surprises. The people we dealt with at H2 were the ultimate professionals and really nice people.

- Gerry & Nancy, Colleton River

“H2 is the Absolute Best!”

The best compliment we can give H2… if we ever build another home in the low country, we will not hesitate to use H2 Builders. From the expert sales team to our professional project manager and the responsiveness of the entire staff, H2 is the absolute best!

“We are Very Proud of Our Home”

We could not have been happier with our home building experience with H2 Builders. It was a well-honed process with professionals who listened and remained agile throughout the experience, including the warranty period. We are very proud of our home and would not hesitate to use H2 to build our next home.

- John & Donna, Palmetto Bluff

We have had a magnificent experience with H2 Builders. You and your team have performed in an outstanding manner, your processes were both elegant and efficient and your people have been a pure pleasure to work with.

- Mark & Elaine, Wexford

“We Value Those Attributes”

We have built many homes before and found that the relationship with the builder is of the utmost importance. Your entire staff has been extremely professional, helpful, patient, understanding, and totally honest with us. We value those attributes.

The workmanship of your staff is excellent combined with the synergy of your supervising and organizing made for a very positive experience. As you know, we have built and remodeled numerous homes and found this to be our best all-around.

⛳️ The calm before the first drive.

We recently got the opportunity to play the new Anson Point golf course at Palmetto Bluff, and let’s just say…it lives up to the hype.

🏌️ Pristine fairways, incredible course conditions, and marsh views that make you want to play just one more hole.

It’s easy to see why Anson Point is such a special addition to the community.

Thank you to our wonderful client and friend, Brian Grell, for making this possible.

Investing in our team means investing in a better experience for our clients.

This week, the H2 Builders team spent two full days training with Buildertrend to sharpen our project management, communication, and client experience. As a custom home builder, we’re always looking for ways to improve efficiency, transparency, and collaboration from the first design meeting to move-in day.

A big thank you to the @buildertrend team! We’re excited to put what we’ve learned into action!

Every line, texture, and planting is intentionally placed to complement the home and elevate the experience of outdoor living.

That’s the Earthworks difference. ⛲️
