Many home builders charge a fee based on what is known in the industry as “cost-plus,” which is basically a percentage of the project.

Builder’s know most home owner’s will upgrade items and make changes. Then there are undisclosed or overlooked costs that all together run up the project several % or more. Many builders count on this to make up what they appear not to charge on the front end. The reason most people opt to build a Custom Home is to get exactly what they want, many times this is not all know up front and creates “Change Orders”. This is the monies that add up and a “cost-plus,” fee will be added for the builder each time this occurs.

Not with Signature Homes. Wade firmly believes that “cost-plus” offers no incentive for the builder to contain costs; in fact just the opposite.

Signature Homes charges a flat fee. Our Flat Fee is an incentive to finish the project exactly as planned, on time and on budget and the fees charged by Signature Homes by Wade represent a significant savings compared to many other builders.
