Navigating Change Orders in Custom Home Construction

SHARE ON

In my four-plus decades of building custom homes, I’ve seen firsthand that change is a natural part of construction. Some adjustments, like altering a wall color, are relatively easy to accommodate, while structural modifications or changes involving electrical or plumbing can be costly and disruptive. My collaborative approach means clients are heavily involved from the start, which minimizes surprises, though I know sometimes inspiration strikes when you see a plan coming to life.

When a change request arises during construction, I focus on being transparent about both cost and schedule impacts. Simpler adjustments might impact only materials, but more complex changes could affect timelines or require re-engineering. I take pride in helping clients make informed decisions about modifications and, thanks to my experience, I often suggest alternatives that can achieve their goals more efficiently without straining budgets.

Clear communication keeps projects on track and within budget. I always emphasize honesty and transparency because making informed changes ensures everyone is aligned to your vision.
