We’ll Help Prepare Your Land, Building Plans, Finishing Touches & More
Building a custom house is an exciting milestone for any family, but we understand it can also feel daunting. Blue Hen Construction is the perfect partner for future homeowners navigating the custom home building process in Kent and Sussex Counties. With over two decades of experience in Delaware, our team is well-equipped to support you through every phase of the journey.
If you already own land, we can help prepare your lot for home construction. Our familiarity with local building codes, requirements, permits, and restrictions ensures a smooth start to your project. As you move forward, consider these essential questions:
- Is a family member planning to “gift” you the land? Our experience can guide you through the necessary steps.
- Has a site evaluation been performed to determine if a septic system is viable?
- Does the property need to be cleared of trees and other vegetation? We can assist with this!
Blue Hen Construction can handle all aspects of the lot preparation process, giving you peace of mind with our extensive experience and knowledge.
Our Home Building Plans… or Yours!
We offer two options for your home building plans. Choose and customize one of our elegant designs, or let us bring your concepts and ideas to life. We’re comfortable working with any sketch, blueprint, or design—even an idea scribbled on a napkin!
Discover the Convenience of Our Design Center Showroom
Navigating the custom home building process often means visiting multiple stores to select flooring, fixtures, and other elements. At Blue Hen Construction, we’ve simplified this process to save you both time and effort. Instead of scheduling numerous appointments, you can visit our on-site Design Center Showroom in Harrington, where you’ll find everything under one roof. From countertops and cabinets to bath and kitchen fixtures, we have all the components needed for your home building plans. It’s both convenient and enjoyable!
Understanding Blue Hen’s Transparent Pricing
We often get asked about the cost to build a house, including our base price, square-footage price, or price range. Unlike other home builders, we don’t offer a standard base or square-footage price because it can be misleading and confusing. Instead, our pricing approach is honest, fair, and selection-based, with no vague allowances.
Here’s how it works:
- Choose Your Building Plan: You can select one of our designs with your revisions or provide one drawn to your specifications. We can work with any plan you provide, and our experienced draftsman will ensure it meets Kent and Sussex Counties’ codes and integrates smoothly with our pricing process.
- Visit Our Design Center Showroom: Head to our convenient, on-site Design Center Showroom in Harrington to choose all the features and fixtures for your home, including bath and kitchen fixtures, lighting fixtures, cabinets, countertops, flooring, and more.
- Receive Pricing Proposals: We contact our regular suppliers to obtain pricing proposals based on your specific selections.
- Get a Realistic Proposal: We provide a detailed proposal reflecting your actual choices, not a generalized allowance number.
- Adjustments if Needed: If the price isn’t quite right, we can discuss adjustments to your selections to better fit your budget.
