New construction gives the home-owner the opportunity to personalize a home's appearance and functionality to fit their family's particular personality. Many custom and semi-custom home builders in Gulf Breeze allow their clients to make changes to their standard house plans thereby cutting down on the costs for a custom design. Custom cabinetry, choices in appliance, the addition of fireplace, pools, French doors or even additional water hose bibs or electrical plugs are features the new home buyer can control. The limit to these types of changes is governed by the builder's flexibility and time constraints, the covenants and restrictions of the neighborhood and the buyers' pocketbook.

One of the big advantages of Gulf Breeze new construction is that these homes are required by county or state code to meet the most current building standards. These codes address the home's performance in windstorms, but can also relate to safety with regard to fire, flood, and common use. Some insurance companies reward their customers for safety features in their homes by offering them coverage at a lower premium.

Planning for future uses and achieving the "best bang for your buck" are tasks that can be daunting for a novice or inexperienced homebuyer. Having a liaison to establish and maintain good communication between the buyers and the builder can prove to be an invaluable resource. Building a Gulf Breeze home can be a very exciting and rewarding experience and it is possible to still be on speaking terms with the builder once the home is complete and that day comes when you pack all your things and move in. Michael Dauphin is the right choice as your ERA realtor if you're planning to buy existing new homes or building the new home of your dreams.
