What is Meant By Design-Build?

Simply put, design-build is a form of construction where one entity works under a single contract to provide the homeowner with all the necessary design and construction services to bring a new dream home to life. But isn’t that what all builders do? Not necessarily. Many builders use multiple entities in a process called design-build, which entails separate entities, separate contracts, and separate work performed by a wide array of individual craftsmen.

Vendor Feature: InSinkErator

A key gathering place in the home, the kitchen is the designated spot to enjoy mouth-watering meals while catching up with loved ones. This gathering place within the home can also create a considerable amount of food waste. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the average U.S. household discards around 30 to 40% of all food purchased. To reduce waste within the home and promote cleanliness, J. Wright Building Company is honored to use  InSinkErator® products in our client’s custom homes.

Why Should You Build a Custom Home?

Building a custom home sounds like an out-of-reach luxury reserved for the most expensive homes. Yet many J. Wright homebuyers find that a custom home is the best way to get what they want. Money is not the only consideration. Selecting a custom home means our homebuyers move into the home they love, saving time and expense.

Getting the Home of Your Dream on the First Try

Homebuyers who choose a custom home love having the home they want and need as soon as they move in. All homebuyers have a pre-design meeting where they tell us how they’ll use their home, their requirements, and their budget. The next step is a design review, where they tell us if we got it right or have us send it back to the drawing board. (more…)

Vendor Feature: Thermory Wood

Wood elements are a crucial design component of outdoor living spaces and home exteriors, and we’re proud to partner with one of the very best wood providers in the business. Thermory provides real wood decking, cladding, porch flooring, and even saunas that feature unequaled longevity and lasting natural beauty.

After growing frustrated with the state of the wood industry, Thermory founders Marko and Meelis Kajandu began searching for a better solution. They had high expectations related to sustainability and quality that led them to thermal modification – the process of heating wood to make it more durable, stable, and resistant to weather and heat. However, the standard thermal modification wasn’t enough, so through customization, trial and error, they could create expertly modified hard and soft wood products that were sourced responsibly and milled with sustainability in mind.
