PERTHEL HOMES “With our approach, we have a two to four-month onboarding process from our first meeting with the client to when we start our clients’ homes. We work on plan design, make modifications, we work on flooring, we make preliminary selections on countertops and we design all the cabinets with all the extra features they may want.” “We have them [the clients] make preliminary lighting selections and we select all the plumbing fixtures before we even present our clients with the proposal to build their home. That way they have a good picture of what, and how much their home is going to cost out the door,” Benjamin Perthel says. The result of this deliberate approach that Perthel Homes takes with every client is that “By doing a lot of the planning at the front end, the home still gets done in about 12 months from conception to move-in, but the build process goes faster and we avoid a lot of potential delays.” This ‘no surprise’, open and transparent approach is one that both Zach and Benjamin are proud of and falls in line with the vision that their grandfather and father have always had for the company- a client first, honest and hard-working home building philosophy delivering the very best homes by design. ‘Designing’ a foundation for future success To help with ensuring efficiency in its approach, Perthel Homes has adopted a top-tier office and builders-based software platform - Co Construct, which has proved to be a game changer. The company is also utilizing building techniques that are ensuring the very best quality home builds now and moving forward. “Two of the products that we use as our sub-flooring are from a company called Advantech from Huber Woods and we use their wall sheathing panels called Zip System. The big advantage of this advanced tech is the stiffness and the durability.” Keeping on top of the latest technology, both at the front end and with the building materials that are used is helping to further streamline Perthel Homes’s work, Zach Perthel describes.
