As someone who had a custom-built home more than a decade ago, it is easy to become jealous of the advancements in the industry that have made this undertaking far easier and more efficient than it was just 10 years ago. Advancements such as 3D image virtual walkthrough and smart homes are just the tip of the iceberg. Find out more about technology advancements for your custom built home. Get the answers from experts. Why guess?
New Technology for Builders
Technology today is simply amazing, and at the top of that list would be a 3D image virtual walkthrough. Imagine seeing every detail of your home before breaking ground on the project. Not only can you see the home’s aesthetics as it will look when the build is complete, but it also enables your builder to spotlight possible issues and better dial-in supply orders, all of which will save time and money on the project.
Smart Home Technology
Smart home technology was in its infancy a decade ago, but now it is the norm for most custom-built homes. Today’s homes have smart home technology throughout the entire home, including being able to run your appliances from afar. Imagine being at the grocery store and not remembering if you needed milk and eggs. Then you go into the app and can see inside your fridge from the store. With today’s technology, you can literally run just about every aspect of your home right from your smartphone.
Sustainable Building
Sustainable building practices have also made significant advancements, as well as having far more reasonable prices than only a decade ago. For instance, solar panels have become the norm on new homes, saving you significant money on utilities while no longer adding six figures to the build cost.
Quality Control
This would actually fall under new technology, but there are some new aspects related to quality control that we specifically wanted to mention here. For instance, there are now digital monitoring systems that can check the overall quality of work to ensure it is meeting design specifications. We can now use drones for flyover inspections in real-time, and there have also been significant advancements in tools that allow far more precise measurements to make construction errors almost non-existent for builders who utilize all of these new tools.
There is another way you can help ensure your build goes smoothly, and that would be to add a residential construction project manager or construction consultant to your team. We realize you may be too busy to oversee the project on your own, which is why an expert member of our team would like to be your eyes and ears on the project site.
