How to Choose the Right House Plan for Your Building Lot
When building a new home, there are a lot of decisions to make. Choosing the right builder should be your first choice. A knowledgeable and reputable builder can guide you every step of the way with the most important decisions that you need to make, and in the right order. Making building decisions out of order can be a big expense, causing modifications to be made if you change your mind due to a lack of planning ahead of time. Choosing the house plan before you know where you want to build, could be a mistake. Randy Jeffcoat Builders has solved this problem with the award winning design-build approach.

A building lot will have code restrictions according to the subdivision or development that you plan to build in. The lot you choose will also have limitations that will determine how big your home can be, how it faces the street, and how high the foundation has to be, according to the lot elevation based off of local flood zone regulations. Randy Jeffcoat Builders can advise you on the lot restrictions and location before you buy, to ensure you make the most knowledgeable decision upfront.
As professional Lowcountry builders, lot elevation is a primary consideration when building a custom home. Many clients choose to add space to their home by adding stories, an upper balcony, wrap around porches and enclosed patios. There are a lot of options to gain space on smaller lots, even in Bluffton or Hilton Head, South Carolina where developments have strict hurricane and flood code enforcements.
There are a multitude of floor plan options to start from that we have available at our office and on our website. A client may prefer to mix and match floor plans together to create their own dream home. The design -build approach allows clients to save both time and money by the builder offering a “one stop shop” for the entire design process. The Jeffcoat Builders online Idea Center, as well as other useful internet sites such as Houzz, play a large role in understanding a client’s needs and desires for the ultimate look and finish of their home.
An experienced builder can tell you how much each change will cost, and give you options that will enhance your home. By choosing Randy Jeffcoat Builders, we guide you with a design-build approach, and show you the changes and the costs up front, so that there are no surprises. If you want certain features in your custom home, we want to know about them from the beginning, so that we can customize the plan according to your design choices.
Building a custom home is a process, but it can be an enjoyable one if you are guided with full knowledge of how each decision effects price, design and feature of the home. Randy Jeffcoat Builders strives for every client to have fun and enjoy the process during their construction journey with us.
