New Home Builder In Goochland, VA & The Richmond Metro Area

Customization has a broad range of meanings. It could mean you want to customize small parts of the home's trim or flooring, to wanting room add-ons, to design the entire home from scratch yourself. The biggest problem is that some new home builders aren't as custom as they say they are. Many will claim to be custom and work with their customers but set a ton of restrictions. Such as only allowing you to customize countertops, flooring, and other cosmetic changes. Birchwood Homes believe in being fully transparent and assisting you with building the home of your dreams. That means we offer any of the following options for customization. 1) You can choose from one of our designs or one of our homes that is already completed. 2) We can customize the cosmetics of one of our designs. 3) You can take a look at one of our designs and add on as many things as you like (within the building code), such as expanding rooms, adding extra rooms, adding a deck, and more. 4) We can work together on designing the home of your dreams from the ground up. 5) We can build the design that you completed yourself. We pride ourselves on our versatility as a new home builder because it's our goal to construct you the home of your, and your family's dreams.

The land that is chosen determines the parameters in which your home can be built. Structurally and aesthetically, the land prevents size, structure, materials, and more. Some neighborhoods have dozens of guidelines for what can be built. That means you also have to check with each homeowner's association when you are looking at lots of land. Thankfully, Birchwood Homes in Goochland is here to help. We build all over Central, VA, which means you don't have to be in Goochland County to benefit from our services. Our family has lived here for our entire lives and we know all of the counties in the Richmond Metro Area. We can assist you by discussing your hopes, dreams, and needs for your new home. Then, we can assist you with finding the right land in Goochland, or one of the neighboring counties to start building your new home. Since we have been building new homes for a long time, we are familiar with county laws, building codes, and homeowner's associations. That means with us, you get assistance all the way through the entire process. From searching for land to buying land, to building a new home on that land. If you have questions feel free to give us a phone call. All consultations are free:) (804) 543 7241

If you have found the property and you are pretty sure it's "the one", just let us know. We can always check out the land with you and work with you to access possibilities for the lot. Some of the things we need to look at are: - The size of the lot. - Whether utilities have already been installed. - Soil quality. - How level is the land? Is there a slop, ditches, etc? - Does the neighborhood require a specific style of home? - What are the zoning issues that could arise? All of these are important things to consider about the land before we can start building your new home. But we are here to help get you through it and into the home of your dreams.

This is an amazing question! As a locally owned and family run business, we manage everything as a couple. My husband and I will answer your inquiries and assist with guiding you through the entire process as if you are a part of the family. That's what we call the Birchwood experience! So many companies are big and don't have that personal feel, and we strive to be more in tune with your desires. That's why we don't have any pushy salespeople.

Every style of new home construction can come with its own variables that affect the amount of time to complete the build whether it be a new home addition, fully custom build, or a single-family home using one of our pre-done plans. The average time to completion for a newly built home is 120 - 180 days. But if it's fully custom and has some advanced features you would like included then it can take up to 10 months. But of course, all of this depends on the type of new home you want to build. It's best to consult with us so we can give you a better answer based on your needs. You can reach us by filling out our contact form or giving us a call.

This is a tough answer because there are pros and cons to both. But to put it simply, building your own custom home makes sure you're getting exactly what you want. Plus, you can ensure you're getting the best quality, design, and cost value for the land. We're here to work with you and build your dream home so you don't have to shop around for one that "hopefully", suits all your needs. That means when you work with us, we will make sure you get all your must-have design features, floor plans, styles, and materials you wish.

There are parts of the country where new home construction halts due to weather conditions. But, here in Central, VA, the winters are not as harsh as they used to be. That means we are able to build year-round. But you must be considerate of the weather at all times, and no new home builder can prevent weather delays. The good thing is, as professional custom home builders, we know how to protect the home from the elements during construction. That means, if there is a sudden snowstorm (luckily here, it's gone within a day), we can cover the construction with high-performance products that can handle the elements.
