Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I hire you?

Because we believe a custom home should be affordable.  Your budget should not restrict your options, it should merely provide you with direction.

Because we will save you money.  We are process driven and therefore strictly manage the costs of your project. 

Because we do not mark-up individual options. 

Because we help builders manage their costs.

 

Can you build my home?

YES.
We are Class A certified.  We can build your home, however certain locations have specific requirements as to which builders are permitted.  In these instances, we will BID your job to the approved builders and get you the best price for your home.

I'm thinking of building, but don't know where to begin?

Call or come in to our office, we will ask you a few questions and explain your next steps.

How do you shop for builders to bid on your project?

Once your home is built on paper, bidding it to builders is simple.  We evaluate your project and determine which builders are best suited.  Then we schedule meetings with each builder to review the project.

How will I know how much house I can afford?

Banks are dictating how much you can afford. So its important to determine how much financing you will have available for your project.  If you haven't already contacted a bank, we can provide some recommendations for you.  Once we know your budget, we can then match the location, the design and the amenities to your new home.

Can you help me find a lot to build on?

Absolutely, we have access to hundreds of available lots in the central Virginia area. Most are in subdivisions, however we do have many that are single parcels of land further out in rural areas.

I have a home to sell, can you help?

We have relationships with some of the top agents in the central Virginia region.  These agents understand  how HomeBidders works and that our goal is not just to sell a home, but actually move on to building a new one.

How do we get started designing a plan?

We have about 20 plans that you can started with and will redesign any of them to fit your needs.  However, if we don't have a plan that you like then we'll be glad to work with you to find one online or in a plan book and design it to meet your needs.

What if we already have a plan we like?

Great, bring it on in and we'll get started on making any revisions necessary and finish making it permit and construction ready.

How do you help us manage our budget

Your budget will drive every aspect of your home.  We will work with you to understand what the most important aspects of your home are and guide you towards those goals.  If the costs begin to exceed your budget we will advise you of any changes that need to be made.

How are you guys able to estimate my project for me?

We receive pricing information from local suppliers and sub-contractors on a weekly and monthly basis.  It's what we do!

How many different homebuilders do you work with?

We have relationships with 15-20 builders within the Richmond and surrounding areas.  However we won't work with just any builder.  We will only recommend builders that we know are capable of meeting your projects needs.
