Once in a lifetime; to last a lifetime.
For many people, building their dream home is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It’s a giant undertaking that requires intensive planning with an eye toward the future. What often begins as a Saturday afternoon activity of driving around neighborhoods or browsing a builder’s website often turns into one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences of one’s life.
“I appreciated that Lynn Construction let us really be a part of the process from start to finish.”
Many decisions go into designing a floor plan, selecting fixtures and picking the finishes. When you build your custom home with Lynn Construction, you are afforded as much freedom in this part of the process as you choose. After all, it’s your home.
Will today’s trends still be your flavor in a few years? As the kids get older, should they have their own bathrooms? How much storage space do you really need? These questions and more may arise as someone considers their dream home of today and how it might become their forever home.
“My favorite part of the process was being able to totally customize everything just for our family,” said Kelly Crow.
Kelly is a procurement professional for one of the largest plastics, chemicals and refinery companies in the world. She knows a thing or two about researching products and selecting the best options to get the job done. That experience proved invaluable when navigating some of the often-overlooked steps of the home-building process.
“Our build was not your average build,” she said. “We were probably a little more involved than most. Lynn Construction worked with us and allowed us the latitude to be as involved in the project as we wanted to be. Some people just want their keys at closing, and that’s fine, but I appreciated that they let us really be a part of the process from start to finish.”
Aside from real estate and development professionals, most people only build one home in their lifetime. That means that the majority of families navigating the process have not done it before, and often aren’t sure what to expect. Lynn Construction’s team is there to help you step through the development of your home from drawings to move-in, and beyond.
“I learned a lot by building a home for the first time,” said Crow. “I don’t plan to ever do it again, but I’m glad we had this experience. It was good for our family; we learned a lot about each other in the process.”
Kelly’s advice to those entertaining the idea of building a custom home: invest in fixtures, choose neutral colors that allow you flexibility when decorating, and don’t skimp on storage space – you’ll appreciate the built-ins in the large walk-in closet more than a difficult to clean skylight window in the foyer.
