Questions

Good questions to ask a builder.

Do you build on my land?

Yes. Every Byrd home is built on site, on your lot. Our standard price assumes a floating slab with about a three-block average, so a sloped lot may need extra foundation work. We’ll look at that with you up front.

Can I change one of your floor plans?

Yes. Our homes can be modified to fit your family, and we can help you create a custom design. Any change or upgrade is listed on your floor plan or cost estimate sheet.

What comes standard?

A lot: 2×12 headers, 30-year architectural shingles, custom-built stained cabinets, tile or luxury vinyl in wet areas, three Sherwin-Williams paint colors and more. See the full list.

What warranty do you offer?

Every home comes with a one-year limited home warranty, and the HVAC unit carries a lifetime warranty on the compressor.

How long does it take to build?

It depends on the plan, your lot, your selections and the weather. Call us and we’ll talk through a realistic schedule for your home.

How does financing work?

Many buyers finance a new home with a construction loan through their bank or credit union. We can give you the floor plan and cost estimate your lender will ask for.

What areas do you serve?

South Alabama and South Mississippi. We’re licensed in both states and our office is in Axis, in Mobile County.
