The Comito Column ~ Custom Building Exposed

When it comes to choosing a builder for your new Colorado Springs Luxury Home, there are so many important things to look at. The homebuilder you choose will be the one orchestrating everything that goes into building your new custom home, from early design of the home plans to final walkthrough. The relationship and trust you have in the homebuilder needs to be strong, as the process can last up to a year and sometimes longer, plus you will want that strong relationship and trust when it comes to warranty items after your home is complete. When evaluating your options it is important to look at all aspects of each company; Who is on their team? Who will be guiding you through all the selections decisions? Who will be running the jobsite? What is their experience level? How long have they been in business? What do their past clients have to say? Have you seen their product, both under construction and complete?

The National Association of Homebuilders has released a great guide to use when interviewing potential builders click here.

Remember it is always best to do your interviewing early (even before any home plans are drawn) as the homebuilder you choose can be a valuable resource when it comes to designing a home that will fit your home budget.

This process called Design-Build is what we at Comito Building and Design strongly believe in. The team at Comito Building and Design is known for our relationships with our clients, working as a team from the beginning creates greater continuity of service and ultimately a better home at better value for our clients.

As you’ve read, Mark and I are building a custom home with Comito Building and Design.  Many of you are familiar with the large, award winning custom homes by Comito Building and Design, but after months of research and planning, Comito Building and Design is excited to now offer smaller custom homes priced from the $700,000s.  Our home is part of this new collection of custom homes designed for homebuyers who are looking for smaller, less expensive custom homes without compromising on individuality, quality, experience, or style. 

As the Marketing Director for Comito Building and Design, it’s always exciting to see the foundation go in and the walls go up but as a homeowner, I have to tell you that the real excitement is just getting started!  In the last few weeks we’ve been busy with interior and exterior selections with Joni Bader (Comito Building and Design’s award winning interior designer) making selections to create a home that’s uniquely ours.  We’ve also met with Home Run Electronics for the wiring of our new home (Mark really loved this meeting).   

While this is very exciting for us, it could also have been a very overwhelming experience if it weren’t for the Comito Building and Design Client Coordinator, Debbie Comito.  Debbie has attended absolutely every appointment with us as we selected the decorative interior features and exterior finishes of our Colorado Springs Custom Home.  Debbie has painlessly guided us through the selection process.  Her extensive product knowledge and her honest approach to our budget have been extremely helpful.  She’s helped us to make good design choices while being mindful of our budget to make sure that the selections we made would provide us with years of lasting enjoyment and financial success. 

To date, we’ve finalized our exterior stone, stucco and paint colors. On the inside, we’ve selected our cabinets, countertops, floor coverings and tile. We could not be more excited - this home will truly be one of a kind and a reflection of our Colorado Contemporary style!

After months of planning and pricing in the Design Build Process, our new custom home in Colorado Springs is well underway.  As homeowners, we are excited to stop by our home site and see our home (which is in the framing stage) starting to take shape.  The excavation, foundation and backfill are all complete, and the framers are busy building the main level walls. On the other side of the process, as the Colorado Springs custom homebuilder, we’re excited to set roof trusses by the end of this week so we can get the home dried-in and protected from the winter weather which seems to be hitting this Colorado Springs custom home site every week! 

This part of the process, has been the most exciting so far – now that the walls are framed, we can actually see how our home will look, how the rooms will layout, and our actual views from every window in our new home in Colorado Springs. We can now envision our life in our home - entertaining guests, holidays with family and friends, kids and dogs in the backyard. This is what home is really about and this stage really brings the design we created to life.
