At Powell & Bonnell, when a client approaches us to help with the interior design of their new home the services they are getting go well beyond the decorating aspect of the finished product. There are many aspects to the proper interior design of a project and most clients might not consider how these tasks are accomplished and how the potential pitfalls are avoided.

​The most common and often first question we get as a builder with over 35 years of experience is how much it costs to build a custom home. The cost to build a custom home is often expressed as “price per square foot.”  And the range to build can be from $250 to $500 or more a square foot. But what does that mean? The difference is the quality of the build and the finishing’s that go into a home. If you want quality, then expect to pay more. And yes, when you walk into a well-built home you can tell the difference.

We are glad to be back at the National Home Show this year from March 8 to 17 after a few years’ of absence.
This year we are pleased to have some of the top architects and interior designers as well as up and coming talent giving FREE consultations to show attendees in our booth throughout the show.  If you are planning a renovation, addition, building a new home or just want some sage advice, RS Homes Booth # 2909 is the place to visit. 
 

The best time to start planning for a renovation or remodel is during the cold winter months. Creating your dream home takes careful planning, deliberating on big decisions and waiting on any building permits that will allow us to start building in spring. Planning may take 4 – 6 months based on your home size and goals before we break any ground. Here are some other reasons you should start thinking about your spring renovation now:
