We now offer home shells for your convenience!

We offer shell home construction. Having your contractor just build the shell of the house is becoming more popular. Why? Cost savings! We’ll get you started by taking care of the foundation, framing, roofing, siding, windows and exterior doors. Then you take over for the finishes saving on the cost of a contractor and the labor for our crews to perform the work.

Personal involvement! It is also a great option for those who have some construction experience and are comfortable finishing out their home. You will also complete the home on your timeline. If you want to work evenings and weekends around your regular work schedule, that can be done. If you want to put your career on hold for a few months and finish the home faster, that is totally doable!

When working with a contractor, making changes can be difficult. This is because crews and materials are lined up and making a change may mean sending subcontractors away, undoing some work, and then trying to reschedule everyone with the new plan in mind. But doing the work yourself makes this process easy. If you do not like something, you can remove it and make the change all in a day or two. This provides freedom to make changes without the hassle, lost time, and costs of change orders. You have the freedom to choose the finishes you want when you want them.

Shell and Super Shell

A shell is excavation, septic, foundation, framing, windows, siding, and roofing. You are dried in and ready to take over.
A super shell includes everything in a shell but adds electrical, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, insulation, and drywall. After that you take over and complete the finishes.

Consultation Services (Unique Service)

After we complete the shell, we do offer consultation services to help advise you in the completion of your home. This can be helpful as you do not want to finish all of the hard work only to fail a final inspection and have to rework part of your home. Typically we would do one meeting after the shell is completed, one before insulation and drywall, and a final meeting near the end of the build.

Will the bank finance a shell?

There is financing available for shell homes as long as its understood you will complete the home in a reasonable timeframe that’s discussed with the bank.

Some financial institutions do offer loans for self-builds, but their availability and requirements vary greatly from one lender to the next. We do have a list of banks we work with and may be very helpful in financing a shell – to owner completion.
