World Homes & Designs:
 
Hello, my name is Jim and I would like to welcome you to our World Homes & Designs site here on the BAGI’ Parade of Homes listing. Within the next few paragraphs you will learn that we are a company that still offers you a total in-house experience when it comes to the creation of your new home. This in-house experience eliminates errors between developers, designers, suppliers, and in the end between the client and builder.
           
Having been an Associate and then a Builder member with the Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis for over forty years, I have come to understand the pressures that the building of a new home creates on a family. Through this understanding I have developed our company based on its ability to consult, design, price, build, and control your complete project, in-house, from beginning to end. Whether we begin with a raw piece of ground or a development lot, we work each phase through our company till the day you move in. For those of you wanting the security and utilities of a planned development, I am pleased to announce that as a principal in the company, I have teamed up with Westridge Development on a beautiful rolling development in Hendricks County. Please call for details on this 250 plus acre project and lots that are currently available.
           
We have broken this in-house experience into four main categories; Consulting, Design& Drawings, Pricing Portfolio, and Construction. Even to this day, commercial construction is still done this way and this was the old school residential way in years gone past. I prefer to call it the smart school way to build a new home. Each category is handled through its own fee paid agreement, thus allowing the client to purchase as little or as many services as they wish. Each agreement is handled and priced based on the size and scope of the project.  This also allows the client a sort of pay-as-you-go program to help them keep control of their out of pocket expenses. It is impossible in a few short paragraphs to explain the total depth of each program, so I will simply list a few of the high points and some terms you may not have heard for a while.
 
Consulting: On site, land reclamation and development, location impact, surveying, mechanical, project baselines, wish list, budget management,  timeline, future improvements, temporary housing, pre-sale marketing  and more.
 
Design & Drawings;  In-house, your designer is your builder,40 years of residential design, preliminary sketches, hand drawn no CAD, structural  layout, lumber and materials specifications, family spaces, personal spaces, renderings, and more.
 
Pricing Portfolio: Bound document, full disclosure estimating, hands on selections, builder at meetings, actual pricing, personal samples, photo documentation, no allowances on hard products, and more.
 
Construction: Designer on site, builder on site, scheduled builder/client walk trough’s, site maintenance, pre-paid change orders, client rules on site, builder rules on site and more.
           
It is my hope that this small snapshot of our four point program has shown that this is a true full service building firm. We believe that the combination of these four points will make our clients transition from their current home to their new home an easier, and more especially, an enjoyable experience for their entire family, pets included! We are a true custom home design and build firm. All of our projects are of stick built construction. No slabs, no panelization, no vinyl, and no aluminum, so if you are looking for an A typical production home, we are not your builder.
