Our Process attempts to assign as much risk to us as possible. Instead of the typical arrangement where weather, delays, and new material price increases all fall to the client to manage, our process pushes those more to us. We build a dozen or more homes each yer, so some of the risks and unknowns of building - rock, well depth, etc. - can be mitigated because some houses will be more, some will be less, and it washes out in the end.
However, the following costs are not entirely built into the price of the home:
The uniqueness of what we are offering revolves around how the financing of the house works during construction.
Basically, we sign a contract, then Catskill Farms pays for the custom collaboration and construction. Our client pays when the house is finished and is move-in ready. We have an awesome track record of completing our homes before our contracted deadline and on budget.
When you drive around upstate, there seems to be an endless supply of land to choose from. Nothing could be further from the truth. Good land in all 3 counties we build in is hard to come by. I personally spend a lot of time researching, scouting, walking, and evaluating land--rejecting 9 out of 10 pieces before I even get out of my jeep.
Good land is hard to come by, and we never miss a good piece.
Absolutely no existing home purchase can compare to our homes'
lack of monthly maintenance surprises, which can easily approach $5,000 - $10,000 per year in a typical used home.
