Guaranteed Detailed Cost Breakdown

At the same time we develop the Lifestyle Analysis©, we also develop a detailed cost breakdown. This is unique for a couple of reasons:

Most builders don’t have the knowledge or resources to provide an accurate and detailed cost breakdown without having complete plans. The problem is, by the time you have a complete set of plans, you’ve already spent a lot of money and time with an Architect. Architects generally don’t maintain an extensive cost database that is current; nor do they need one since they are not in the building business. In addition, we often find that knowledge of design and constructability (which includes cost-effectiveness of design) are two very different things. For example, a lot with significant slope can be designed many ways, some cost-effective and some not. There could be a substantial savings gained by having a knowledgeable Builder consulting you from the beginning.

Secondly, only Jenkins guarantees that we will be within +/- 5% on the original design cost. We can do this because we’ve developed a proprietary job costing system that allows us to tell you what your home will cost, in a great amount of detail, even before you have architectural plans.

We are one of the only builders that provide a detailed cost estimate with the original design. This gives our customers a “Proof of Concept” that the house they want is a house they can afford.  We can also provide the same “Proof of Concept” for those who are already working with an Architect on plans, provided we get them early enough in the design phase.  Contact us to find out more about this program.

Next we introduce you to our Guide to Picture Perfect Projects™.
