A Bit About Us.. We have a large number of new subscribers this
month (and the media say's no one is building?). So for the new
readers here is a bit about us: JenRan Homes, LLC is a
builder/dealer for panelized, modular, post & beam and log
homes. We build and sell the panelized, modular and post & beam
regionally here in Connecticut. We build the Cedar Log Homes
regionally and can provide a complete log home package throughout
the US. So if you are outside our building area, we can still help
you with the log home of your dreams. Ready to get your homebuilding
project, give us a call, we would love to work with you. We have re-designed the Cedar Log section of our website. Take a look to see all of our floorplans and details on our Cedar Log Homes. Newsletter Archives: |
The Charleston is traditional 3 bedroom, two bath log home cape. With it's open Living and Dining areas it provides a large sense of space while keeping the bedrooms private. The second floor is a complete master suite including a master bath and walk-in closet. The traditional farmers porch is a great place to enjoy those warm summer evenings at your new log home. |

Ballpark Budgets |
|
|
One of the most common questions we receive is: What does it cost to build? As those that have talked to us know, we do give out square foot ballpark estimates. We do so to give our clients an idea of what to expect when looking into building a new home. There is a danger in using square foot budgets though. Many factors affect the overall construction price of a new home. Items like excavating, well drilling, length of driveway and cost to bring in power do not change based on the size of the home. Also, a 1500 sq.ft Ranch may have a different final square foot cost over a 1500 sq.ft. Colonial. Why? Because a ranch uses much more concrete and excavating as it has a larger footprint. Complex designs also affect the construction cost as well. So while we give out square foot ballpark budgets please keep in mind that the number can fluctuate on a number of factors. It is very easy for us to give you a much more defined budget once we know the conditions of the lot and the house design. So if you are looking for land and want to hire us as your builder, please contact us as early as possible so we can help you with house placement, design, etc. to help keep your home on budget. |

| Homebuilding Tips | |
| Thrifty
Now, Thankful Later One of the hardest parts of building a new home is staying on budget. Everyone wants the best in their new home but the best can be a budget killer. One pitfall many fall into is spending money on extras early in the construction process only to find they lack funds when they near completion. There will be opportunities offered for upgrades like a higher grade subfloor or more expensive windows. While these upgrades may be a little extra, those are items that eat into a budget and leave less funds for later on. So while building your new home, avoiding those early upgrades will help you in the long run. As always, it's wise to talk to your builder and ask the difference between the available options to help decide what is best for your new home. |
