Here at Highland Classic Homes, we don’t want to “sell” to you, rather we want to provide you with the information you need to make an educated decision on building a new home.  We think that providing you with the overview of our Philosophies (shown below) and the Construction Process (separate attachment) that we can help provide you with a good foundation in making one of the most important decisions, and investment that you’ll make in your lifetime.

We want you to feel confident that you are making the right decision. If there is any further information that you need from us, or just have a question, please do not feel shy in contacting us. (The only dumb questions are the ones never asked.)  Our relationship with our buyers is very unique, open and up front.  This unique “personal touch” with our clients is the Highland Classic Way!

STARTING FROM SCRATCH

Highland Classic Homes only builds new custom homes from the ground up.  We are just not big believers in tearing down to a first floor or the original foundation of an existing structure and starting from there.  It is hard to imagine adding that much weight onto an older foundation that it wasn’t engineered for.  You are also being restricted to building to that same foundation layout.  So why not start over with the latest in foundation design and engineering and have the opportunity to design a completely new custom home from ground up.  Also, we do not do any interior remodeling or add-ons. We put all of our focus in building new homes from the ground up.

QUALITY AND VALUE FOR THE MONEY

At Highland Classic Homes, we pride ourselves in building a quality, energy efficient home for the money and value.  Through constant research and negotiations, we believe that (all things being considered) we have the best contractors and vendors for the money, without lacking the quality in materials and workmanship that we expect.  We believe that our detail and finish out compares to other new custom homes costing much, much more.  Our goal is to build the best possible home for the least amount of money.

BUILD A NEW HOME AND HAVE FUN DOING IT

We want the buyer to have an enjoyable home building experience and that is why we personally take them through the process from start to finish.  The pre-planning phase is very important.  The more we can plan up front the smoother and quicker the building process will go with less headaches and errors.  This is why we have our buyers pick out all of their colors and selections up front prior to starting construction.  Not to say that there will be changes along the way, after all this is a custom home.  But, we know what we have, what our budget is, and what our starting point is before we break ground.

We want our homes to be well thought out through the entire process.  This is why we have a professional Architectural Designer work with you on your new house plans.  After the plans are complete, a professional interior/exterior Designer will help you pick out all of your colors and selections that go into your new home.  These professionals are up on the latest trends in new home design and fashion.   Hey, building a home can actually be FUN!

BUILDING WITHIN BUDGET AND ON TIME

We are committed to staying on budget.  After all, what good is preparing the budget before the start of construction if we don’t take it seriously.  When we commit to a budget, we mean it.  The budget is followed daily and we are constantly looking for ways that we can save along each step of the way throughout the entire process.

Highland Classic Homes builds on a “Cost-Plus Fee” basis which will save the buyer money as all “builder costs” are passed onto the buyer.  You can also “write-off” all taxable materials that went into your home when you file your personal taxes.  These are just a couple of the many advantages of building “Cost-Plus.” Also, since we do tight budget tracking on our homes, we are able to project the estimated cost of a home (based on our standard amenities) very early on in the process. While most custom home build times take as long as a year for completion, we take around 8-10 months.   We account for this largely due to our pre-planning, scheduling and execution processes of the construction project. Building a quality home in a timely fashion will save you money.
