Frequently Asked Questions About Southern Family Home Builders
What is the primary difference between your custom home build process and a typical builder's process?
Our process employs a collaborative design-build approach, bringing together architects, designers, and construction teams from the project's inception. This integrated method ensures your vision is accurately maintained, helps control costs early in the process, and significantly reduces construction timelines and unexpected changes.
Are you licensed and insured?
Southern Family Home Builders holds the highest level of certifications available for residential home builders in Alabama. We maintain full insurance coverage for all aspects of our work, from start to finish, to ensure your protection and satisfaction.
Can I see a portfolio of your work, particularly projects similar to my vision (e.g., luxury additions, whole-home remodels)?
We showcase a diverse range of projects, including custom estates and high-end remodels, on our social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. For qualified clients, we can also arrange private tours of completed or ongoing projects upon request.
How much does a custom home or a luxury addition typically cost per square foot?
The cost per square foot varies significantly based on factors such as design complexity, material selections, and site conditions. Our approach is to work backwards from your target budget, ensuring that the design and scope align with your financial objectives from the beginning of the project.
Do you provide a free estimate, or do I need a Design Agreement to receive a detailed quote?
We offer a complimentary, high-level cost range during the initial consultation. For a guaranteed, detailed proposal, we transition into a paid pre-construction or design agreement phase, which includes architectural plans, engineering, and final material sourcing.
Am I allowed to make changes during construction, and how is that handled?
We aim to create the home of your dreams, not ours. Changes are possible during construction, but budget considerations are crucial. We discuss the cost implications of any proposed changes before implementing them to ensure transparency and alignment with your goals.
What is the typical timeline for a custom home build versus a large-scale remodel/addition?
The construction phase for a custom home typically spans 9 to 12 months. Our team manages pre-construction components including design, site development, budgeting, and financing. Large-scale remodels or luxury additions generally take 6 to 12 months, depending on structural complexity and material lead times.
What is the very first step I should take? Should I have plans, land, or a lender first?
The optimal first step is to engage a qualified builder. We can assist in assessing land feasibility, connect you with draftsmen specializing in your preferred style, and introduce you to trusted construction lenders. This approach ensures all decisions contribute to realizing your vision effectively.
Who will be my primary point of contact during the construction project?
Your project will be managed by our experienced team. You will have a dedicated project manager as your primary point of contact for all needs. This manager will provide consistent weekly updates, oversee the site, and be responsible for all communication and scheduling throughout the project.
Can you perform a luxury addition that seamlessly blends with my existing home's architecture?
Our expertise includes creating additions that are indistinguishable from the original structure. We meticulously match roofing, exterior finishes, trim, and floor heights to ensure a cohesive and high-end result that seamlessly integrates with your existing home.
What types of projects do you handle?
Southern Family Home Builders specializes in custom homes, large-scale remodels, and detailed home additions. Our team designs and builds everything from single-story ranch homes to luxury estates, offering complete renovations, kitchen and bath remodels, and eco-friendly construction that combines style, comfort, and efficiency.
Do you build on land I already own?
Yes. We can build your new home on land you already own, managing everything from site assessment and soil testing to permitting and utility setup. Our experts ensure the design complements your property and maximizes its natural features.
Can you assist with land selection or site evaluation?
Absolutely. We provide site evaluation and land selection guidance for clients still searching for the right property. Our team helps you assess soil conditions, drainage, slope, accessibility, and neighborhood factors so you can make informed decisions before purchasing land.
Do you offer green or energy-efficient home designs?
Yes. We specialize in sustainable, energy-efficient designs that lower environmental impact and reduce utility costs. Our homes feature high-performance insulation, energy-rated appliances, smart technology, and can be solar-ready for future upgrades.
Can you remodel or expand an existing home?
Yes. In addition to new builds, we offer remodeling and home addition services. From kitchen upgrades and suite expansions to basement finishes, we blend new construction seamlessly with your existing home for a cohesive, modern look.
Do you handle both design and construction?
Yes. As a full-service design-build firm, we manage the entire process in-house—from concept to completion. Our designers and builders collaborate closely to ensure your project stays on budget, on schedule, and true to your vision.
Can you build luxury homes with high-end finishes?
Definitely. We have extensive experience creating luxury homes featuring custom cabinetry, designer kitchens, spa-style baths, and architectural detailing. Every element is tailored to your preferences, ensuring unmatched quality and craftsmanship.
Do you provide assistance with financing or work with lenders?
Yes. We can connect you with trusted local lenders experienced in construction-to-permanent loans. Our team will guide you through the financing process to make building your dream home as smooth and stress-free as possible.
