A growing trend in our society is the “Do it yourself” individual, family, or investor client who recognize the potential for savings, value, and MAXIMUM EQUITY in filling the role of General Contractor/Builder. The UpRight Home Owner-Builder Program enables YOU to manage the design and construction of your new home by assisting you step-by-step throughout the entire maze of BUILDING YOUR OWN HOME and “Building on your land”. Now YOU can build your own custom or semi-custom home, even if you do not have any previous construction or building experience. The UpRight Home Owner Builder Program empowers YOU to become (and thus eliminate) the “Middle-man”.

The UpRight Home Owner-Builder Program offers an alternative to buying an existing home, or paying a “builder” to build YOUR home at THEIR prices. We offer a third way, which allows YOU the opportunity to build any plan, have complete control over all the money and budgets, save money while eliminating the “Middle man”, and greatly enhance your potential for maximum EQUITY in your new home. With the UpRight Home Owner/Builder Program, you are no longer at the mercy of what the local custom home builders charge, because with our help you will deal directly with the sub-contractors, trades, and vendors of YOUR choice to negotiate the best possible deals. We can assist you with acquiring land (if necessary), designing and building any plan you want, budgets, specifications, bids, financing money-saving tips, efficient energy cost-savings recommendations, job scheduling and management. The UpRight Home Owner Builder Program provides you with a combination Construction and design consultant with at least 10 years experience in local custom residential home building as an advocate for YOU the client, to work WITH you towards the same goal: Building your home the RIGHT way, at the RIGHT price.

THE RIGHT PRICE
The UpRight Home Owner Builder Program consultation fee is a FLAT fee guaranteed to NEVER increase. The amount is based on the total covered square feet of your project, complexity, and location. Your consultation fee is NOT based on a percentage of the estimated cost of the project, like many other companies. We believe a fee based on the square footage is MUCH more HONEST, FAIR and BENEFICIAL to the client, compared to other companies who base their fee on a percentage of the THEIR up front ESTIMATED total cost of construction. The entire premise of the UpRight Home Owner/Builder Program is to help you build a better home, SAVE YOU MONEY and maximize YOUR potential for EQUITY. We believe in creating a harmonious relationship where we sit on the “same side of the table” as you, and work WITH you in the same direction of building YOUR home, the way YOU want. We work with you much the same way you might pay a Real-Estate Professional/Agent, an Architect, Interior Designer or Decorator to work WITH you, with a combination of design and construction consultation geared to help save you money, avoid expensive mistakes, and build beautiful energy-efficient new custom homes.

UpRight Homes offer 3 different “OWNER-BUILDER” Programs:

Program 1 - Starting at $3 per square foot of covered area, and suited for individuals or investors with considerable residential home building experience. Proof of experience is required.

Program 2 - Starting at $5 per square foot of covered area, and suited for individuals or investors with average to above-average home building construction knowledge.

Program 3 - Starting at $7 per square foot of covered area, and suited for individuals or investors who may have very limited home building construction knowledge or limited time to build their own home, but still want to be involved in some or all project decisions.

(The UpRight Home Owner/Builder Programs can also provide a complete “Dry in” (house under roof) consultation fee, giving you the ability to “finish out” the home on your own. The majority of our flat fixed fee is typically paid in full directly from the first “draw” of construction funding, to help minimize YOUR up front “out of pocket” expenses)

YOU CONTROL THE SAVINGS THE RIGHT WAY
The UpRight Home Owner/Builder Program affords YOU total control, so YOU decide how much you want to spend. We help guide you and provide you with local qualified professional subs, trades, vendors, and suppliers who are highly skilled in all aspects of residential construction, or you can choose to employ people you already know who are capable of performing the various aspects of building your home. The UpRight Home Owner/Builder Program also allows YOU the opportunity to perform aspects of the building yourself (if you desire) like tile, painting, carpentry, site cleanup, etc. to SAVE even MORE MONEY, and further enhance YOUR equitable position in the finished product. Our Program gives YOU total control to choose which contractors you want to hire, what materials you want to use, and how much you want to spend. Most home builders typically charge 15%-45% or more for their “STANDARD features” (and even MORE for “UPGRADES”), to hire sub-contractors to build YOUR home, the way YOU desire. Many home builders will allow you to make decisions regarding the “finishes” to limited paint colors, flooring, countertops, etc. at THEIR prices, but do not give you the opportunity to make QUALITY decisions and SAVE MONEY on your : foundation, lumber, cornice, roofing, insulation, windows, electrical, state-of-the-art wiring, plumbing, HVAC, sheetrock, trim, window coverings, pools, landscaping, etc., unless you pay THEIR “upgraded” prices. With the UpRight Home Owner-Builder Programs, you never pay upgraded prices so the savings really add UP the RIGHT way.

YOUR ROLE AS THE “OWNER-BUILDER”
As you may expect, building YOUR own home requires a substantial commitment, and the process is not for everyone. BUILDING YOUR OWN HOME is NOT a full-time job, so you do NOT have to “quit your day job”. You (or someone in your household) should have the ability/flexibility to spend 1-2 hours a day conducting most of his/her business over the telephone (gathering bids, information, scheduling work, paying bills), with periodic visits to the job site when necessary. Unlike days gone past, most “Builders” or “General Contractors” do NOT perform the actual construction labor. Most Builders/General Contractors are in the business of hiring sub-contractors to perform their profession, making sure the contractors have all necessary information and/or materials they need, and are tending to matters in a timely fashion. With our help, YOU will feel comfortable knowing you have the experience of a personal construction consultation helping you along the way, with at LEAST 10 years experience in the local residential homebuilding industry. With the UpRight Home Owner Builder Program, YOU will be able to choose which contractors you want to employ, what materials you want to use, and which suppliers are offering the best value. The savings opportunities are tremendous, especially when you seek and find local sales and promotions for material items such as lumber, windows, sheetrock, tile, slate, travertine, wood floors, granite, countertops, cabinets, appliances, fixtures, etc. You can incorporate everything you “always dreamed of”; at a FRACTION of “standard” builder prices. You pay all sub-contractors, trades, and building suppliers DIRECTLY so you know you are getting everything at COST (or better) with no additional “Builder mark-ups”. Our program gives you “peace of mind” knowing the only people “getting paid” are the people who are actually working on YOUR home. When you BUILD YOUR OWN HOME with the UpRight Home Owner-Builder Program, you have peace of mine knowing YOUR home is built the RIGHT way, at the RIGHT price.

MORE PERSONALIZED APPROACH AROUND YOU
Many “Owner-Builder ” or “You Build it” type “construction consulting” firms hold monthly or weekly “Free Seminars” promising information on “How to build your own home”, and “what you need to know to get financing”. It is our belief that most of the material covered in these group “seminars” do NOT relate directly to YOU and YOUR home and can therefore be a waste of time, energy, and money. No two homes are identical, and there are many different factors that will effect each decision you make, so we feel it’s best to address those matters as they relate to YOU and your home with a more personalized one-on-one approach. In reality, many of these “free seminars” merely try to sell you on the fact that in the State of Texas, banks require “Owner-Builders” to show a “Builder of Record”, so you can meet the minimum necessary criteria to obtain the new home “construction loan”. These companies offer you the “opportunity” to list them as the “Builder of record”, and try to sell you on “how cheap” you can build your new home. Unfortunately, many of these companies offer VERY LITTLE or NO actual construction consulting or assistance after the new home construction loan is “Closed”. These companies function primarily as a financial institution or mortgage lending/brokerage firm, NOT as a home builder or construction consulting firm. When you BUILD YOUR OWN HOME with the UpRight Home Owner Builder Program, we guide you every step of the way with a more personalized approach specifically for you and your new home.

OWNER-BUILDER FINANCING
As you can see, the UpRight Home Owner Builder Program can assist you with all aspects of building your dream home for ONE very low standard base fee. For qualified applicants, we can also assist you with a variety of financing options for purchasing land, funding construction, and permanent financing including:

100% FINANCING
ONE TIME CLOSING
NO MONEY DOWN

The UpRight network of funding partners enables YOU to choose from numerous financing options based on your personal situation, with a program suited to match YOU. We can match you with our experienced funding professionals who will explain your options, and give YOU the knowledge and confidence you need to make the best decision for you, your family, and your future. Unlike many other “Owner-Builder” type “Network” franchises, we are NOT simply a mortgage brokerage firm “in disguise” as a “homebuilding consulting firm” in attempt to gain your business by financing your construction and permanent loan. UpRight Home Builders is NOT a lending institution, or mortgage brokerage firm. UpRight Home Builders is a licensed custom homebuilder and consulting firm first and foremost, with different financing programs and options available to others interested in making practical, educated, well-informed decisions with several different financing options from an experienced, reputable, local lending institution.

THE RIGHT PROGRAM FOR YOU
If building your own home is a dream of yours, you want to ensure you are building your home the RIGHT way, at the RIGHT price and getting the most value for your money. YOU want to build the home of your dreams, but you don’t want to spend too much money. YOU want someone to help guide you along the way, but YOU want to have control over the decisions. YOU want to know EXACTLY what you are paying for so you know the only people “GETTING PAID” are those working directly for YOU. You realize the potential for ADDITIONAL SAVINGS in building an extremely ENERGY EFFICIENT home, both now and in the future, and YOU want to help preserve our environment for the future of our children. For most people, their home represents the single largest investment they will ever make, so it makes sense to MAXIMIZE YOUR INVESTMENT. We believe the opportunity to save money and maximize your potential for equity in a new home as one of the smartest financial investment you can ever make for yourself, your family, and your financial future. When you BUILD YOUR OWN HOME with the UpRight Home Owner Builder Program, the savings really add UP the RIGHT way.
