Have you ever thought about building your own home, but thought it was too complicated and didn’t know how or where to begin?  Now building your own home is easier than you thought.  Roy Peterson of Peterson Construction & Consulting has added a new unique twist to his business.  For the last thirty years Roy has been building new homes, additions and remodels.  He is now using his years of expertise and unsurpassed customer service to consult or coach people who want to manage the construction of their own home (act as the general contractor), called Owner Builders.

Why would Roy want to add this service to his company?

His response may surprise you.  “There are two reasons I added consulting to what I do. The first is I wanted to improve my profession to a point where I didn’t have to work so many hours and where I could reduce my stress level.  The second is to provide a service that is valuable to the community.  There is a great need for this service.  Many people, who want a new home, don’t have any construction experience.  Their only choice has been to pay a general contractor and trust that he would keep their best interests in mind during the project.  The truth is that contractors have many jobs to keep track of and it becomes extremely difficult to keep everyone happy.  Many Owner Builders who decide to take on the project by themselves get way in over their head.  They run into so many problems and delays that in many instances they would have been better off to have just paid a contractor to build it.  I provide a service that empowers people to save thousands of dollars while having total control over their project and the ability to afford a nicer home than they would have other wise.  They are able to avoid problems and pitfalls.  Past Owner Builder clients have said that they actually enjoyed the building process and look forward to doing it again.”

How did you get into consulting Owner Builders?

“I became a member of the National Home Building Consultants.  They have created a system for contractors to easily become professional consultants. This system also includes an innovative Owner Builder coaching system called “Build-by-Numbers”.  They have helped me put my experience and expertise to use while eliminating a lot of the stress associated with contracting.  I get paid for my expertise, and the owner builder assumes the role as contractor and focuses on the day to day tasks that don’t require the years of training of a contractor.  It is a very efficient use of time, energy and money for both parties.”

As an Owner Builder Consultant, what do you do for your clients? 

“We actually do a lot for them.  We start them out on the right foot by helping them with financing, plans and pricing.  Many times a potential client will bring in a set of plans, ready to build with the hopes of building it for a certain amount.  The reality is that many times it would cost fifty thousands dollars or more than originally thought.  If they would have worked with us in the beginning of their plan design, we could have guided them in starting with the right size and style of house they could afford.”

“A couple other things we do for our clients, is give them unlimited phone support and a Build-By-Numbers management system.  We want to make sure they understand each step of the building process so that they can be more successful.  Because of this management system, many of our clients will get their homes done more quickly than many contractors. They are never left alone to make decisions, but they have the control to use me as much or as little as they need.  Many owner builders, using the National Home Building Consultant System, tend to feel very informed and knowledgeable just by following the program and becoming familiar with the information.”

“Another thing we do for clients are site inspections.  We want to make sure the quality of work is good.  Many times we will catch potential problems before they become a problem or a disaster.  That is also one way that my expertise is invaluable to the owner builder.”
