Quality and attention to detail!

As any good builder will tell you, one sure sign of quality construction is simply how long a building stands. Shoddy workmanship, subpar materials and under-skilled workers all lead to the same bad end. When a home is still standing in its original state decades after construction, it is easy to tell that care and concern went into the entire process of building.

Long-term quality comes down to two broad areas; design and materials. Material quality is the more straight forward of the two. By using materials specifically suited to different purposes, it is simple to slow or halt physical damage over time. By making a higher quality construction right from the beginning, it is possible to lower the maintenance and upkeep costs well into the future.

The less obvious area is in the initial design. When the home is first coming together on paper, it is the perfect time to look further into the future. By making specific design choices that increase energy efficiency, insulation and slow long-term environmental damage – all before the first nail touches wood – a builder can substantially increase the lifespan of the home.

While these materials and design choices might seem to increase the cost of the project, that is rarely the case over time. Even in the first few years, lower utility and maintenance costs for an energy efficient home will add up quickly. The real impact comes over the lifetime of the construction; fewer repairs, less upkeep and lower bills will very quickly outpace the initial increase in cost.
