Build on Your Lot – We Have the Experience, The Value, The Plans

 

Although E.S. Johnson Builders has acquired a great reputation over our twenty years, many don’t know that many of our award winning homes are built outside of our Communities.  E.S. Johnson Builders has been built around building great homes for great families where they want to live.

Building on your own lot takes an experienced builder.  In communities the building lot has been pre approved, septic permit, land engineering complete and utilities are in.  What are the pitfalls your lot may pose?

Points to consider when selecting a Build on your lot Builder.

1. Choose a builder with the experience of building on a customer’s land.  Inside master planned communities the building process is easier because all the infrastructure is in place.  Building on your own lot requires a builder that can navigate his way around the many pitfalls that can happen in the upfront due-diligence.
2. Choose a builder that can provide you the plan you want, not the one he thinks you should have.  Plans can be derived three ways: stock or “portfolio” plan, modify a portfolio plan, or create a custom plan that has what you desire specific to that lot and meets your budget.  A good builder should be able to do all three for you.
3. Choose a builder that can stand by the service of the home.  Has he been building in your area for a long time?  Does he have the reputation of taking care of his customers after the sale?
4. Choose a builder that is large enough to have great buying power so you receive the best prices for all building goods.

Living where you want, on land you may have dreamed about for years, has become an essential part of the American dream. In a culture that values individuality and self-expression, more people are opting to buy their land first, and then building a custom or semi-custom home.

By hiring a builder with a strong build on your lot program, homebuyers can save money as well as the hassle of hiring their own architect and general contractor. Build on your lot builders will assist you with site evaluations, floorplans, permits, coordination, construction, and in some cases, even financing.

Custom Building Brings New Challenges and Fun

Every once and a while we get asked to do a home that is a departure from what we do everyday. Although everyone of our houses are one of a kind, we recently were asked to build a home with all stained trim, special floors, stone walls in unique places, and special details at every turn.  This changed the scale of the project, color palette and product details that we typically use.

Here are some pictures from this very special home in Springfield.  Although only approximately only 3200 sq ft this empty nester home gives the owner everything they wanted.  Its design and details were to create a feeling of being on permanent vacation.  It is very reminiscent of homes in the NC highlands.

Lake Norman Waterfront Custom Home

E.S. Johnson Builders is proud to announce a new speculative luxury custom home to be built on the shores of Lake Norman in Huntersville and Cornelius, NC.

This Frank Betz designed home will be listed by Debbie Williams of Allen Tate Realtors for $1,299,000.  This waterfront lot is located in one of Lake Norman’s long standing great neighborhoods, Lookout Point.  This lot exists for this rare new construction opportunity because a house fire took this home a few years ago.  The result is a large lot that is perfectly flat with a view that goes for miles and a dock.  The trees you see on the lot will all remain.

The home is to have all that you would expect from an E.S. Johnson Builders Luxury Home.  Exquisite moldings, white painted cabinets, wide plank hardwood floors, polished nickel fixtures, glass door knobs, great outdoor space and well thought out design.

The home is scheduled to have the same outside colors scheme as the home below.  However, we are eager to have you select all the custom colors yourself with the help of our in house design staff.

If interested, please don’t hesitate to call us at 704-987-7950 or contact Debbie Williams with Allen Tate at 704-574-3680.
