211. Price Driven Versus Value Driven When Building a Home

Episode 211

Thursday, November 21, 2024 • Duration 28:23

In this episode of The Real Build, I wanted to discuss what you will see from a Value builder. I'm always searching for ways to add more value than the competition. Value is what you get for the overall price you pay.

How can I give my clients the most value as a custom builder?

Beginning stages - What do you offer?
It isn't always just what it is - Cost cutting - Meeting today with Licari - Where can the client cut the cost to get to their desired price?
Your outside team - What does the builder offer that others don't
Experience - Sell the overall experience of the build itself
Hands-on approach - We've heard a lot of clients say they've been on their own with other builders
An organized system - We heard our process is better.
Family-owned and operated. Treat clients like family.
Long-standing relationships with subs - We take care of them, and they take care of us.
Multiple sources of communication. Buildertrend
Honesty and integrity - We don't BS to avoid conflict. We take it head-on.
We learn from mistakes and improve.
Performance over profit - How can we perform to a higher standard and get the job done faster
We do things to make us stand out and be different. Show our good and bad on video.
We do a good job and make sure we don't leave mistakes untouched.
What's behind the walls? Is there something crooked they won't see? We don't care. We do it right.
Forward thinking. What new things can we add to be better for the client?
