"Muddy Boots" Meet the Builder Event

Join Stanton Homes for a special "Muddy Boots Meet the Builder" event on Sunday November 15^th in Horizon (directions below). 

Walk through a custom home with renowned local builder Stan Williams of Stanton Homes.

See what happens as the walls go up - and learn about the process that makes a difference underneath the details and decorating.

It's like walking through the blueprints, as the Stanton Homes team explains the process from design to conception.

This tour offers insight into special design solutions offered by Stanton Homes, available in a wide variety of price points.

Custom Design Solutions - Design and Build in the $200s and Up

The home chosen for this event is a unique custom design featuring wheelchair accessibility, in a gorgeous 3200 sq ft floor plan with elevator and mother in law suite.

Energy Wise - Guaranteed Energy Savings

This home also features the Energy Wise heating and cooling guarantee program - there's a written guarantee that heating and cooling won't exceed $92 per month, or about 1/3 of the cost using conventional construction methods. 

Bring Your Questions, and Get Some Answers! 

One on one discussions with the builder and his team will be available. 

Bring all your questions, and we'll get you the answers you need:

• Choosing a floor plan - is "design/build" best, or can a "ready made" floor plan be modified?

• Cutting costs while building value - what to watch out for before signing a contract.

• Going green and saving green - what moves make sense.

Meet the Builder Event in Chatham County

 

Raleigh Custom Home Builder Stanton Homes offers one-on-one conversation forum, with insight for your custom projects from a local builder perspective

Raleigh, NC - Meet-the-Builder, "One Neighbor to Another," at a question-and-answer forum hosted by Stanton Homes on Sunday, September 21, from noon to 4pm at 680 Rebecca Lane in Cattail Creek, just northwest of Pittsboro in Chatham County.

"This is a conversation opportunity for people who aren't sure where to start with their custom home projects," said Stan Williams, CEO of Stanton Homes.  "It's all about you - and the questions you have about new construction or remodeling process and procedures - from the point-of-view of your local custom home builder."

"One Neighbor to Another" Meet-the-Builder topics typically touch on these kinds of questions:

• Should my new home have a basement?  What's the ballpark cost, and what's involved?

• Can a local home builder build the floor plan I like on the lot I've purchased? (Bring a copy of your plot map, and any neighborhood restrictions.)

• Should I hire a home inspector before the sale is finalized on my new custom home?

• Can I move this wall, or rearrange this kitchen in the floor plan I'm considering? 

• Can this floor plan be adjusted to provide some extra space, like a bonus room?

• What's the difference between a "normal" home and an ENERGY STAR home? 

• I'm starting to think about retirement.  What are the cost implications of a one story home, or a home with a main floor master bedroom? 

"Even if you're just starting to think about a new home, bring your blueprints or floor plan, and we'll offer our thoughts about your options, no matter who you're considering as a builder," said Williams. "This opportunity is all about you."

What Should I Do?

Bring your floor plan, blueprints and ideas.  Bring us a copy of the floor plan you're considering (even from a website, which usually offer "print" options.)  We recommend that you not purchase the full set of blueprints until you are sure the plan will work for your needs and the spot where you are building.

Bring a copy of your plot map, and any neighborhood restrictions.

 

Or email your plan to Stanton Homes to info@StantonHomes.com, and a Stanton Homes representative will provide an initial estimate with you at the event.

If you're considering building a home in the Raleigh area, Stanton Homes will follow up with a free initial building cost estimate, building on your lot or ours.
