Why Help-U-Build?

If you’re in the market for a new home, or WANT to be, but don’t have the money for a down payment, or might be in the market after selling your current home, then listen up! HELP-U-BUILD is designed especially for you.

HELP-U-BUILD is one of the nation’s top Construction Consulting companies. We specialize in providing our clients (Owner-Builders) with the knowledge, resources, and expertise in building their own home. We at HELP-U-BUILD believe that building your own home is one of the best kept secrets in creating and building personal wealth. Building your own home might seem like a daunting task for some, but with our step-by-step process, we make it possible for the average person, with little or no construction experience, to build their own home, for MUCH less then they could buy it for. In fact, most HELP-U-BUILD clients don’t even put any money down in building their own home! They pay "wholesale" for the house by avoiding the typical 20%+ markup of a builder. They pay thousands less than the house is worth, move in with instant equity, and avoid the usual down payment. In the end however, most owner-builders report that the real payoff (besides financially) is the satisfaction of mastering a challenging task while being able to choose the location of their new home, decide on the floor plan, pick which materials are used, design their house (Paint colors, carpet, tiles, lights, fixtures, etc.) all the while building it for MUCH less then they could have bought it for, ensuring the financial security of their family.

Therefore, HELP-U-BUILD designed a step-by-step guideline to assist Owner-Builders through the building process, giving them the necessary knowledge, allowing them to become their own successful General Contractor and in return, saving them tens of thousands of dollars on construction costs. Cost savings are realized primarily in the elimination of the general contractor. Traditionally when a consumer has a general contractor build their new home, the price they pay is not the general contractor’s cost to build the home, rather it is the highest price the general contractor can charge, based on the anticipated value of the home when it is complete. The difference between the cost to build and the actual price of the home can be as much as 20 to 30 percent. This difference is the general contractor’s profit. To earn this profit the general contractor manages the construction process (this does not necessarily mean they actually build the house). These days, most general contractors hire a series of subcontractors to perform the actual work of building a home. Their job primarily is the process of gathering bids, scheduling the work and final payment of the subcontractors. By eliminating the general contractor and their fee, the homeowner can realize substantial earned equity. On average, our owner-builders save anywhere from $40K-100K (10%- 30%) – by simply following our step-by-step program and eliminating the need for a General Contractor. We don't expect you to build the house yourself, only act as the project manager during the process. Many of our clients don’t have any construction experience whatsoever, they never swing a hammer or lift a piece of lumber. Some do however, wish to be involved in the building process and create even more equity for themselves. We leave that choice up to you. Whatever you choose, HELP-U-BUILD will be there to help you every step of the way, giving you the experience and knowledge that you will need in building your dream home.
