are at least 30% more energy efficient
than homes built to the 2004
International Residential Code (IRC).

codes, the U.S. EPA ensures that ENERGY
STAR remains the symbol for truly
energy-efficient performance. Our ENERGY
STAR qualified new homes are
independently verified by a third party
home energy rater to ensure they meet
ENERGY STAR energy efficiency
guidelines. These homes are superior in
their construction and better for the
environment and better for you. First
and only builder in Thomasville,

Our Green Custom Homes Vs. Other
Builders Custom Homes:
Other builders and franchise
companies like to use the word
"custom and quality" on their
website and on their ADs in the
paper but CHB Homes are the true
and only luxury custom home
builders and we can prove it by
offering any home buyer $1,500
if they can find a home with all
of the same custom features as
our homes in the South Georgia
area. The word “Custom” is being
degraded by other builders who
don’t have an inkling of the
meaning.
Building a Team
By building a team of professionals
at the start, you can avoid some
common pitfalls in which people
often find themselves when they
decide to build a custom home. While
this list is not meant to be
exhaustive, it is intended to
help get you started in the right
direction and give you a better idea
of what to expect. Before choosing a
lot, or a particular plan or style
for your home, we recommend building
the team of individuals that you
will work with and for you. That
team includes you, your builder,
architect, engineer, and interior
decorator. All this can be
found within CHB homes which will
endure that your home will be
constructed above code and with 100%
on-site supervision.
Build Smart
A simple place to
start is size. Smaller homes require fewer resources to construct and less
energy to heat and cool. Smaller floor plans also cost less, which allows
clients to choose finer finish materials that would have been cost prohibitive
on a bigger project.
What is Home Sustainability
The Signature Features of our homes
are anything but standard. When you
buy a CHB Signature Home,
you'll enjoy high-end appliances,
fixtures, unique interior and
exterior design elements, quality
materials, craftsmanship throughout
the construction process. Our smart
home technology features and Energy
Star certified homes you'll get a
home built like no other in
Thomasville, Valdosta or South
Georgia Area. We are the true first
smart home and energy star builder
in the South Georgia area. When you
walk into a CHB Home is like walking
into no other home you have ever
walked in. Our standard features are
considered upgrades to other
builders. If you have never walked
into an energy efficient sustainable
home, then you have not experienced
the comfort of walking into one of
our homes in the freezing winter or
on a blazing summer afternoon.
Sustainable homes will always
maintain your personal comfort level
without the need to play yo-yo with
your thermostat.
Lot
Selection
|
|
Your builder and architect can be of
invaluable assistance in selecting the
right lot for your dream home. You can
save literally tens of thousands of
dollars by asking your builder to
estimate the cost of the site
preparation before you purchase, and
allow your architect to review the
restrictions outlined in the Design
Review Guidelines that go with the
subdivision in which you are interested.
Your builder and architect will ask the
questions and find the answers to many
of the issues that may not have occurred
to you. CHB Homes offers our services
with no obligation to help you select
the best lot for your dream home. We
firmly believe that involving your
Building Team at the beginning; before
the purchase of your lot will help you
achieve optimum results in the
construction of the home as well as save
you time and money. |

Design
Once your lot has been purchased, you
are ready to embark on the creative
process of putting your dreams to paper.
This part of custom home building
involves the delicate balance of what
you want, what you need, and what your
budget will allow. It is wise to manage
all three aspects so that there are no
unhappy surprises or last minute
changes. Your builder and architect will
consult with you regularly to shape the
design and the construction of the home.
Your interior designer should be
involved at this stage to give input as
to the types of finishes and furniture
arrangements that will work well in each
room, and how they will tie together. It
is during this phase that your home
takes a shape and form on paper, details
are outlined from the foundation to the
size and shape of the kitchen sink.

|
Costing
Your builder will manage this portion of
the process for you by selecting proven
tradesmen that bring solid value to the
project. Without proper pre-planning,
it's not unusual to learn that the dream
home you envisioned costs more than what
you had planned for in your budget. Be
sure to understand the entire scope of
the quoted price-what it covers and what
it doesn't. Some builders will quote
prices that do not reflect the total
picture of all costs involved. At
CHB Homes, we use comprehensive cost
analysis which includes all aspects of
the construction, so that there are no
unhappy surprises later. It's far better
to deal with costs at this stage than
when the job is finished and you're
presented with unexpected bills.
Construction
|
|
This is the beginning of the dream
becoming a reality! Your builder should
be driving the process at this stage,
dealing with tradesmen, inspections, and
the overall construction process. By the
time this phase has begun, most of the
difficult work is over. You've made the
tough decisions; now it's time to enjoy
watching your home take shape and become
a reality. If you have chosen your team
carefully, this process is the most
gratifying as you can see the progress
made on a weekly or even daily basis. At
CHB Homes, makes sure the quality of
work provided by the various tradesmen
involved meets our standards, and keep
you informed of the progress via weekly
email or phone updates and, pictorial
updates. Your final walk through will be
conducted with your builder and in many
cases, your architect and interior
designer. Have your list of questions
handy so that you can note the proper
operations of all the special features
of your home.

products and environments to be usable
by all people, to the greatest extent
possible, without the need for
adaptation or specialized design.

Green building is the practice of
increasing the efficiency with which
buildings and their sites use and
harvest energy, water, and materials,
and reducing building impacts on human
health and the environment, through
better sitting, design, construction,
operation, maintenance, and removal —
the complete building life cycle.

Realtor Awareness of Energy Star
Homes
Recent
comments by local Realtors
stating Energy Star homes
need to be competitive to
standard homes are unaware
on how Energy star homes are
designed and built.
Real Estate professionals
must learn the basics of
energy-efficient features
and use them with
prospective buyers
increasing awareness. This
further increases the value
of the real estate
professional because if they
are knowledgeable, they can
point out energy saving
features and benefits the
buyer might enjoy.
Real
estate professionals
separate themselves from the
rest by being better able to
communicate a home’s true
value.
