Top 5 Things to Look for When Choosing a Custom Home Builder

by

Building a custom home is a major investment – both financially and emotionally. It should involve meticulous planning, expert craftsmanship, and a transparent, collaborative relationship between you and your home builder. You want a custom home builder with a trusted reputation and proven processes who integrates your creative input while maintaining exemplary design standards. While it can be a daunting choice, here are five things to look for when choosing a custom home builder and why Bardwell Homes could be the right fit for you. 

Reputation and Expertise

When selecting a custom home builder, the first thing to note is their reputation and expertise in the industry. Look for builders with a track record of successful projects and satisfied clients. Since 1946, Bardwell Homes has built a reputation for experience and consistent quality. For three generations, we’ve proudly served the Baton Rouge community. 

Our legacy of craftsmanship and innovation defines every project we undertake. Our expertise is evident in every floor plan, each design concept, and each professionally selected detail that goes into your home. With a long heritage of visionary entrepreneurs, our team at Bardwell Homes continues the tradition of constructing and selling a variety of homes, including custom builds, pre-solds, and spec homes throughout South Louisiana.


Craftsmanship and Quality

When building your new home, high-quality craftsmanship and materials are essential. Every home built should stand the test of time. At Bardwell Homes, we source only the finest materials. From the structural integrity to the finishing touches, we execute every detail with precision to create homes that are not only beautiful and artful but also functional and durable. 

What sets us apart as a custom home builder in Baton Rouge is our approach to working with professional trade partners. We prioritize relationships with expert tradesmen over seeking out the lowest bidder. This commitment guarantees consistent quality in every home we build, streamlining the entire process and making each custom home-building experience enjoyable. We build with integrity so that your Bardwell Home might serve your family now and for generations to come. 


Design and Development 

The design and development phase is crucial for ensuring your new home meets your vision and needs. At Bardwell Homes, we’ve developed a signature style and design process marked by luxury, innovation, and attention to detail. 

We design homes that simplify and enhance your daily life. Each finish is hand-selected by design professionals to meet the real needs of your family while maximizing space and style for all occasions. This design approach drives every Bardwell home build, reflecting our dedication to both the process and the final product. Before construction begins, we review every detail with you to create a comprehensive and interactive design process to ensure your vision and needs are integrated into your home with expert guidance and care. 


Communication and Process

At Bardwell Homes, we believe effective communication begins with transparency. Setting clear expectations and maintaining an open dialogue is crucial to your custom home build process and final product. Our disciplined approach to project management ensures that our projects are completed on time and within budget. So, our team will guide you through every step, making complex decisions like lot selection and plan design straightforward and effortless. 

You want a builder that offers you accessibility, clarity, and progress reports and updates throughout the experience of building your custom home, along with on-site meetings with you.  The journey on your future home begins with a contract agreement followed by design meetings with our professional team and your interior designer. No worries if you don’t have an interior designer.  We have you covered there, too, and can connect you with multiple options.  During the design phase, you’ll make the bulk of your design decisions. Once the design is complete, the construction team dedicated to your home will guide you through a detailed pre-construction meeting at our office, where we will review the site plan, the floor plan, and the electrical plan in detail for final review.  This structured approach guarantees that every detail aligns with your vision, setting the stage for a successful construction experience. 


Client Experience 

The best indicator of a superior builder is the client experience. It reflects the builder’s commitment to quality, service, and expertise. When a builder prioritizes the client, the results will be evident in every project. 

We build with intention and patience because it is our goal to create homes that are built for living. Ultimately, the client experience is at the heart of our business – it’s why we do what we do. Our approach is about more than beautiful aesthetics; it’s about creating intuitive, thoughtful designs that meet your needs now and in the future. At Bardwell Homes, we incorporate unexpected details that make each home truly inspiring and representative of the families they hold.
