CUSTOM HOMES & GENERAL CONTRACTING
Your home starts with a clear plan.
Looking for a builder for a new custom home in Southern Utah? Talk with Proud Hammer Homes about your lot, design, budget, and the general contracting support your project requires.
Discuss your project ↗Discuss the complete scope
A full-home inquiry is different from a framing bid. We’ll discuss project management needs, trade coordination, and next steps before confirming the services and timing available for your build.
Craftsmanship begins behind the finishes
Framing experience informs how we approach a project. If your plans include specialty sheathing, log-style details, or a polyiso roof assembly, bring those requirements into the conversation early.
COST-PLUS TRANSPARENCY
See the invoices behind
your payment requests.
On projects contracted on a cost-plus basis, Proud Hammer Homes shares subcontractor invoices with the client as received. Payment requests identify the underlying project costs and show the agreed Proud Hammer Homes fee separately.
You receive supporting invoices directly for your own project. We explain the requested payment in relation to those documents, the agreed scope, and the terms of your contract.
Before work begins
Agree on the scope, contractor fee, billable cost categories, allowances, and payment schedule in writing.
When costs are invoiced
Review the subcontractor invoices supporting the request, with applicable fees and charges identified separately.
When the scope changes
Discuss changes and follow the approval process in your agreement. Cost-plus pricing is not a fixed total price; the contract defines how costs and fees are handled.
BEFORE YOUR CUSTOM HOME
Understand the numbers.
Keep decisions clear.
A useful home-building budget connects the drawings, selections, and written scope—not just the total.
What is the difference between an allowance and a quoted cost?
An allowance is a budget placeholder for an item that has not been fully selected or priced. A subcontractor quote covers a stated scope and may still have exclusions or conditions. When reviewing a proposal, identify the allowances, what each covers, and which selections remain open. Ask how the final cost will be reconciled under your agreement so an undecided finish is not mistaken for a confirmed price.
What should I check when comparing custom-home budgets?
Compare the same drawings, specifications, and included work. Check site preparation, utility connections, permits and other fees, finishes, equipment, cleanup, and contractor fees. Identify exclusions and allowances, and distinguish a contingency from a quoted cost. A cost-plus proposal does not guarantee a fixed total; the written agreement should explain the cost categories and how changes and payment requests are handled.
How can I help keep selections and changes organized?
Keep one current list of approved selections, open decisions, and requested changes. Include product details and the latest drawing revision where relevant, and ask when each decision is needed for the project sequence. Before changed work proceeds, record its scope and any cost or timing effects through the approval process in your agreement. This gives the owner and project team a shared reference instead of relying on separate conversations.
