At Paudel Luxe Homes, our commitment to excellence extends far beyond the final walkthrough. We understand that a luxury home is a living masterpiece that requires care and attention. Below you will find answers to our most common inquiries regarding our process, our portal, and our long-term warranty commitments.
Every client is granted exclusive access to our Private Client Portal. This is your central hub for real-time photo updates, milestone tracking, and direct communication with your Project Manager and Builder.
Yes. As a comprehensive Developer and Builder, we assist clients in identifying and evaluating land for its build-suitability, ensuring the topography and zoning align with your architectural vision.
Our Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) Analysts ensure the financial health of your project. They provide the precision needed for budget-friendly estimates and detailed cost assessments required for luxury home and remodeling loans.
We’ll implement our proprietary “PDH Development Execution System” during the Design Phase, to target your pre-determined budget parameters. This way, you’ll be informed, and able to avoid construction delays due to budget overruns. During the Construction Stage, the GC, Analyst & Builder will continue to oversee your project and will be readily available. There’s never any finger-pointing. You’ll find helpful updates regarding milestones and onsite appointments with the WACC Analyst, Developer and Builder. Your Portal is the place to follow what’s happening now and what’s happening next!
You’ll enjoy having confidence and peace of mind, about your decisions, and about the next steps in your home building experience.
We start by hearing from you about the vision you have for your new home. We’ll also discuss the approximate size of your home and projected cost range. This way we’ll be in step with the financial requirements that you have in mind.
Initial design to detailed drawings usually requires anywhere from 4-6 months depending on the information gained from the initial pre-development stage, and the complexity of the project. Construction usually takes about 12-18 months, but we can fast-track the project depending on your timetable.
Our fees are based on project scope, rather than square footage. We typically fit into the median range, when compared to other quality builders. Payments are commensurate with services. Architectural fees are typically payable in 3 installments. Construction requires a 10% deposit when the contract is signed. Most of our construction contracts are fixed fee. There are usually 10 -12 draws over the build period. We may consider a cost-plus agreement when the scope of the project is more extensive.
We’ll want to hear about your ideas, and then, based on the information you share, we’ll examine how to best utilize the space on your lot. The survey will be required to confirm ownership of the property, and the placement of your new home. Your planning meeting will provide you with enough information to prepare a rough budget. We’ll help you determine the overall feasibility of your project.
When you work with us, the next step is to set a realistic budget. Then we’ll create and finalize your concept design.
Most Ideas can come from your dreams. They may come from your current house, or you may want to expand on something you saw online. The Architect will be scheduled to verify following:
While the Architect is working on your dream home, you can use our online Visualizers to design and pick materials, before you spend any money. We have a wide selection of Counter-tops, Tiles, and Back-splash materials, along with a huge photo Gallery . We’ll work with you to finalize the details on the style and size of your custom home.
Absolutely as long as Meets the industry standard.
Anything You Have bring it on.
The Architect will deliver your final plans. Now it’s time to setup your escrow account and your reserve fund so we can start building your new home.
Construction Escrow Services are used when a lender or Homeowner finances a construction project. The title company oversees the disbursement of all construction payouts. Having the title company administer this process ensures that no mechanic’s liens are recorded against the real estate as a result of the work performed on the property. The Title Company usually does not administer a construction escrow when there’s no lender involved.
Construction Escrow Services protect both the lender and the owner during the construction of the project to make sure that payment is made properly.
The Construction package assessment provides key information about often overlooked costs involved in developing your project. The WACC Analyst will prepare the construction package assessment during your PDH-DES Custom Home Planning Meeting.
Note: Normal wear and tear due to usage is excluded from the one year Home warranty.
Quality control is overseen internally by our in-house team.
The whine of power saws on your new addition or remodeling project can be the exciting sound of your dreams taking shape. Major construction projects can be scary and expensive. But doing homework on the front end can help you develop a firm budget, a clear vision, and a more fruitful relationship with your contractors. It might also lessen the fear factor. Start with the biggest, broadest question: What do you hope to accomplish with your project, and how much do you want to spend? Your contractors can help you work your way to the smaller questions about specifics, like materials and other details. That kind of strategic planning should bring more clarity to the project, and this can be a valuable asset to you.
Size and Complexity of the Addition or Remodel
Cost factors like the size of a porch, or an extra room are easy to identify. But the nature of each project carries levels of complexity that might not be immediately apparent. Early on, you’ll want to get a handle on how many general contractors, electricians, plumbers, carpenters and decorators you’ll need to complete your project. You’ll also want to consider the cost of permits and inspections. Then, budget some extra cushion for the unexpected. Here are couple of example: Perhaps you have an older home, and when your contractors tear up your carpet, they discover structural problems with the flooring. Maybe the plumbers find old pipes that need to be replaced. Hope for the best, but plan for a bit of the worst.
We’re careful with the budget because every penny counts! When prospective Clients talk to us, they tell us that one of the things that worries them the most, is the thought of making an agreement to build a home for a certain price, and then getting surprised later when they learn that the price has increased significantly without any notice.
Here are some things that you can do to reduce your risk of running into this problem:
The Construction package assessment provides key information about often overlooked costs involved in developing your project. The WACC Analyst will prepare the construction package assessment during your PDH-DES Custom Home Planning Meeting.
No, there are no hidden costs. All costs for transportation/material delivery, drawing plans, structural and services design etc. are included in the package cost. However, if you alter the drawings, or move walls, change materials selections then change order will be needed. ($950-$9,550 per change order to execute the work order)
Payment terms are contingent upon construction progress and vary based on the project type, whether Cost-Plus, Fixed Price, or PSF.
Construction loan approval, as determined by the WACC Analyst Planner, is structured as follows for custom projects:
Note: Normal wear and tear due to usage is excluded from the one year Home warranty.
Quality control is overseen internally by our in-house team.
Yes. Although staying closely involved is clearly easier when you live in town, you can manage your project remotely with our PDH-DES Turnkey online construction services. Once your floor plan has been designed, the only decisions left to make are your colors, fixtures, materials and finishes. Plan to visit the construction site from time to time.
Land value is determined by Pre-Development however Home construction cost will be determined by inner and outer space finishes. Once your lot is fully vetted, then we’ll have the cost and zoning data. Your choices for finishes and fixtures will play a role, along with the pricing for the flooring, tile, cabinetry and other items that you choose or you provide.
