Owner Managed Programs are listed below:
Owner-Managed Build
Fee: $7.00/ sq ft living area
Our Owner-Managed option is perfect for do-it-yourselfers. This option is our most affordable, but requires more of your time to perform. It's a great way to earn sweat-equity in your home or to expand your construction budget.
We provide all of the resources so you can successfully complete your project.
Here's what we provide:
-
A detailed cost estimate for each phase of the project
-
Assistance in obtaining construction financing including the necessary paperwork such as a builder agreement and specifications.
-
A step by step schedule and week by week calendar to follow.
-
A list of approved subcontractors for each phase of the project.
-
Assistance in obtaining builder pricing for major items.
-
Unlimited consultation until completion.
You handle the day-to-day management of the project, which includes:
-
Getting bids, selecting subs and suppliers for each phase.
-
Scheduling the work and checking on the progress.
-
Handling the money requesting funds from the bank, paying bills and keeping track of the budget.
-
Contact Owner Managed Homes with questions or concerns.
Partially-Managed Build
Fee: $14.00/ sq ft living area
Our Partially-Managed Option is a good compromise if you're new to construction. This option is still very affordable, but requires less of your time than our Owner-Managed Option. It's a great way to still save money while remaining very involved in your build and controlling expenses.
This option is a combination of Owner Managed Homes and you working together sharing the work:
We will manage the structural phase of the project which includes Foundation, Framing and Mechanical Rough-In (Plumbing, Electrical and HVAC).
The owner will manage the balance of the project with all of the resources provided in the Owner Managed option. All labor and materials are still at cost to the owner.
Fully-Managed Build
Fee: $25.00/ sq ft living area
Our Fully-Managed Option is the best choice for the home owner who does not have the time or inclination to devote extra resources to their project- but still wants cost transparency. Owner Managed Homes will manage the project from start to finish just as a typical custom home builder. What's not typical is that there are no hidden costs.
Most builders who offer cost plus programs want to keep the owner out of the loop. That is, the builder does not want the owner involved in the bid process, hiring and payment of subs and suppliers. With our program the owner is involved. To insure transparency the owner handles the money which includes requesting draws, paying subs and suppliers and managing the budget.

Client Testimonials
"We knew nothing about building a home, but we followed OMH's system and moved in 9 months after laying the foundation.
We never could figure out how to afford to build a new home until we discovered the The Owner-Managed option.""

Working with OMH's gave us the opportunity to have more control over the building process and allowed us to save tens-of-thousands with our project."

Our second home was built with Owner Managed Homes. Our first home with a traditional builder. We found ourselves just as involved the first go around, but saved more using OMHs.
