About Us
Southern Construction Concepts Inc. is a local builder with high standards for quality
We are not dedicated solely to big-budget, high-profile projects. We build quality homes at all price levels.
The Bishops have a strong background in custom construction with over a million square feet of custom home and framing experience. We know how to do quality work in an efficient manner. Gerald’s background helps customers get what they want. We believe that a quality plan should be built as it is designed.
Quality building is our highest priority
Craftsmanship is very important, but so is the building process. We put a strong emphasis on providing accurate estimates and budgets. In residential construction, architects and designers typically do not create specifications with blueprints.
This is where our professionalism really benefits our customers. We provide legitimate, usable budgets. If you have had a new home built before, you know how valuable this is.
We believe in value
We have found we get the best value by using the best subcontractors and suppliers available. We are proud of the people that work on our projects.
We try to do enough volume we get buying power through our suppliers and subcontractors, but not so big we cannot give personal, custom service. We have found that many times we can offer superior products and services for the same or less than the products and services our competitors offer. Talk with us about your new home.
Our recommended process
1. To Build
Decide you want to build a new home. Then choose an area or neighborhood you would like to live in. If you do not already own a lot, this is a good place to start.
2. Pre-qualification
Determine how much you want to spend. Determine your borrowing capacity or comfort level for a mortgage with a construction loan specialist. Lenders specializing in new construction are usually the most competitive in pricing and most helpful with requirements unique to new home construction. If you do not have a construction lender in mind, we can refer you.
3. Property selection
Researching lots currently available within your price range should be within a percentage of your total budget. Keep in mind topography, slope, view, solar orientation, and neighborhood covenants and restrictions. We can help with this part. Our experience may help in determining effect on construction cost and design.
4. Home design
Have your new home designed to your budget, needs, wants of your lifestyle, and to your property. If you do not have an architect or designer, we will gladly refer you. Quality plans are the best step to ensure VALUE. We can help with a general cost per square foot based on style and features you desire.
5. Budgeting & contract
As plans are being drawn, we can meet and talk about features and products you may want in your new home. With blue prints and a site plan complete, we can give you a detailed budget. A detailed budget is derived from customer selections of materials, finishes, and products. We can help fill in the gaps and provide specifications for the entire project. This gives you a legitimate budget for the construction of your new home. These choices are not final, but as construction progresses, having realistic products and quantities in your budget makes staying in budget much easier.
With plans, specifications, and pricing ready, we complete the construction contract. With a contract in place, construction financing and building permits can be formally applied for. You will receive a breakdown of materials from types of concrete to appliances.
6. Construction & completion
During construction, we oversee and perform work while ordering and arranging for deliveries of building materials. We provide choices and options as the construction schedule progresses. Our building professionals and suppliers help you in making selections throughout the process.
Upon completion of construction, we meet with you and go over the final details. It is truly our pleasure to hand you the keys to your new home.
