CUSTOM ORDER — Cont’d from page 18

“We lock the door and it’s starting from ground zero for the customer. The cleanliness and sanitizing have been brought up to a different level, so now it’s becoming the norm in our show homes. It’s all these little things that have a cost related to them, however we see the benefit to our customers of it and we think it’s important to still do.” Randall Homes’ headquarters gets the same treatment so clients feel comfortable when they come by. Business has been steady, as demand for single-family homes has grown during the pandemic. Builders across the board have contended with pandemic-related material shortages, supply-chain holdups and safety issues that all add time to construction schedules. But they still aim to please with brand-new designs that cater to homeowners’ evolving needs. “We want to give the consumer something to look at that’s different, but still all the trends that they want,” Jaquet says. “We’re finding that people want certain things in their new homes. A lot of them are looking for that main-floor bedroom, just in case they have people coming and staying with them for extended periods of time.”

WE WANT TO GIVE THE CONSUMER SOMETHING TO LOOK AT THAT’S DIFFERENT.
