Basement Finishing
Finishing a basement is one of the most cost effective ways of adding square footage to your home. Consider this, the cost of an addition may be $200 or more per square foot, while finishing a basement generally averages $50 per square foot. There are many factors to take into consideration when finishing your basement, typically the heart of your home's mechanical systems (plumbing, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), electrical, etc.) are located within the basement. Also, some of the weight of the home above is transferred to the walls in the basement; it is important to use an expert when planning useable and functional space in the basement.

Custom Home F.A.Qs

The national average investment for a custom home generally starts at $145 per square foot and up. Finishes ultimately dictate the ultimate cost. Whirlpool tubs, walk-in showers, use of stone finishes, etc. can quickly cause the "cost per square foot" to increase.

Why use a Designer to plan your project?
For most households, their home is their greatest financial asset. In fact, utilizing a qualified Designer can save you thousands of dollars in the long run by identifying design ideas and functionality well before construction begins. In most instances, city and county municipalities are requiring a detailed set of plans prior to issuing the required permits.

Information for obtaining financing:
R&D Construction enjoys a great relationship with several local banks and mortgage companies. We'd be delighted to offer our recommendation to you based on your needs. During our free in-home consultation, be sure to ask our designer about finance recommendations. Like our vendors and suppliers, the financial representatives we have chosen to work with represent the finest in quality, integrity and professionalism.

How to begin - Description of the process.
When you are ready to meet with us to go over the costs involved in completing your custom home, simply click on the underlined link below to "request a quote". Robert Henry Homes works closely with a reputable and knowledgeable Designer, Jim Allen, who assists our clients to achieve their goals and create a clear vision for our construction team. Prior to attaining his degree in design, Mr. Allen was a residential contractor for nearly 15 years in Seattle. This experience is crucial to creating a design that fits within an agreed upon budget right from the beginning. When a propective client requests a free in-home consultation, Mr. Allen will schedule an appointment to review the vialbility of the project, make design suggestions, assist with establishing a budget and answer preliminary questions. Mr. Allen will also indicate, during that visit, the nominal investment required to begin drawing up "construction documents". The first step is to create 3 dimensional computer renderings that shows your new custom home design. The design is continually updated and changed based on your input and approval. Once design approval is given, we will then provide a "fixed cost" detailed proposal for completing your project as designed. This process keeps our clients in the driver's seat, provides the most control and options and gives our clients time to make important decisions and an opportunity to get to know our team prior to commiting to the project in its entirety.
