We recognize that the high-end house service we provide in assisting our clients to realize a once in a lifetime dream is a privilege. It is with this mindset that we enter into a collaboration with the owners to create their luxury house.

Marwood Construction has earned the Graduate Master Builder (GMB) designation from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). This designation requires that graduates meet prescribed educational requirements and verify a tenure of seasoned experience as a master home builder.

This is the highest designation that the NAHB offers qualifying professionals.

The NAHB goes to great lengths to qualify its graduates assuring home building clients have a greater confidence in hiring a Graduate Master Builder – GMB designee because it defines the professional benchmark for business achievement and conduct that should be used to measure builders.

Through our systematic process we determine your luxury home design requirements, lifestyle activities and budgetary needs to assist in pairing you carefully with the best design team that fits your interest.

The purpose of this consultation is to provide our clients with a road map in navigating the design and construction of your luxury house.

The custom home design and building process is complicated and a very personal experience.

Houston Luxury Homes Delivery Methods

The Design Build Method

New “One of a Kind” Design Build Houston Luxury Homes Services

Design Build Luxury Homes Design Standards

• Build for Quality –Quality is defined by many methods and standards and ultimately judged by people subjective perception.The industry has created degrees of acceptability and margin allowances to objectify minimum standards as benchmarks. These are the following common sanity test for measuring quality;

• • Observation – Does it pass the eye test
  • Functional value – Does it operate for its intended value so not to be serviced regularly
  • Aesthetic value – Is it attractive to look at or do the flaws interrupt its appeal
  • Tolerance Standards – Are their established performance / tolerance standards
  • Reliability Standards – Will the serviceability of the item be reliable

• Sustainability & Green Building

• • Use of building products that are biodegradable
  • Use of energy efficient products
  • Onsite energy producing sources
  • Use of recycled building products
  • Use of water conservation techniques

• Universal Design

• • Accessibility for entering and exiting
  • Flexibility of use by all ages
  • Low requirements of physical effort to use comfortably
  • Size and space relationship for functional use
  • Simplistic design for intuitive use
  • Tolerance for errors for unintended use or accidental errors

Bid to Build Method

Competitively Bid Luxury Home Design Plans & Documents

The bid to build approach to building one-of-a-kind luxury houses is the most common and traditional process used in selecting a high-end builder.

It does not mean that you will receive the best price nor does it guarantee that you will get the best high-end house builder.

There are 4 specific elements required to create a verifiable competitive bid to build for new Houston high-end houses;

• Detailed Home Design Plans and Supporting Documents

• • This is a critical requirement. If there are errors in the plan or holes in the specifications and documents, this can cause large swings when comparing bids
  • The supporting documents are detailed engineered plans for the foundation and frame structure. They include the other documents required for permitting like lot survey, homeowner association approvals and lender requirements for financing.

• Comparable and Qualified General Contractors

• • This is just an important consideration. If you do not use a short list of qualified comparable general contractors, the bid comparisons become difficult to quantify. Low biding is a bid strategy commonly used by certain builders to win contract awards, knowing that there are holes in the plans and specifications that will later be used to create change orders.

• Narrow and Tightly Structured Selection Allowance Schedule

• • Selection allowances are used when either the product selection has not been completed or the owner goes out for bid to compare apples to apples. These allowances should be clearly defined in a dollar amount and brand. If there is a large number of allowances, this can lead to misunderstandings concerning discounting practices and installation labor as a portion of the total allowance price.

• Tightly Structured and Uniform Bid Format for Comparison
  • If the bids are not uniformly and consistently presented in a defined format, there can be line-item cost excluded or included that are not measurable due to the owner’s inability to identify the scope of work or associated cost.

Project Management Services Method

Construction Management Home Construction Advisory Services

There are significant advantages to the construction management approach over both the design build and bid to build approach.

They require the owner to either share in the risk of the overall total construction cost or incur an additional expense as a facilitator to the other delivery methods when using construction management as a quality control / assurance method supplemental to design build or competitive bidding methods.
