DO:
    Physically check out a builder’s work, in addition to speaking to references.
    Ask about additional certifications. It can show commitment to the industry.
    Ask about the builder’s approach to foundation, framing, insulation, HVAC, plumbing, and electric.
    Consider the chemistry between you and your potential builder. It doesn’t have to be a love match, but you should be able to communicate well.
    Align expectations by getting benchmarks for the architecture, design, and finish-out specifications of the home prior to starting construction.
    Establish one point of accountability.
    Get a completed design and a fixed price construction budget BEFORE you start.
DON’T:
    Purchase a home site without having a professional home designer and builder review it.
    Begin the architectural design phase without first selecting your builder and proceeding through the process in conjunction with your builder.
    Usurp a builder’s intellectual property by presenting it to another builder in an attempt to position them against each other.
    Fall into the “price-per-foot” trap. Buying a custom build-to-suit home by the price-per-foot makes as much sense as buying a car by the pound. Know the specifications and know exactly what is included in every facet of the home.
    Withhold information from your home designer and builder. At some point, a mutually respectful level of trust must exist for your design build firm to provide an excellent experience.
    Try to get competing bids from random contractors. Trust your builder’s trade base. Using the services of a random contractor or supplier might appear to save you a few dollars on the front end, but it could likely end in headache when a warranty item requires attention.
We specialize in designing luxurious, comfortable, lasting, and low-maintenance homes—we like to call them “high-performance” luxury homes.
Building a luxury, high-performance home does not mean you have to spend more money or compromise on material selections. It is also not about bamboo floors, solar systems, and other “eco-bling.” It is about building a comfortable, healthy, low-maintenance and, at the same time, energy efficient home.
At Bauhaus, we can create custom home designs of any architectural style, and tailor them to site and climate conditions. Our modern homes continually outperform our competition in Dallas, scoring higher in energy ratings and saving you more money operating your home.
An Integrated Home Design Process
Our integrated custom home design process ensures that each detail fits your needs, your lifestyle, and your budget!
A lot of people make the mistake of hiring architects and designers without including a builder and other experts from the very beginning of the design stage. Designing and building a home is a team sport involving a whole group of experts comprising:
    Designers/architects
    Builders
    Structural and mechanical engineers
    Trade contractors and suppliers
Not consulting and including the entire team in the planning process is a big mistake. That’s how many clients end up overspending on a custom home design they can’t afford to build, or start building and end up 20 percent over budget because of too many allowances missing selections.Not with us! We use an integrated design process that ensures that the home we design for you can be built for your budget before we produce a full plan set. By using Building Information Modeling (BIM) systems, we can produce concepts and specifications and then use them to establish preliminary budgets for any home we build. This process ensures budget control from the very beginning of the process.Schedule a Consultation for Custom Home Design in Dallas, TX
