Preferred is an "Off-Site Conventional" builder. This means that your new home will be built to meet or exceed the International Residential Building Codes at our Albuquerque construction center for prices well below those of site builders in rural areas. All construction techniques and materials are the same as they would be on site. We only use licensed tradespeople. We do not use factory methods or unskilled workmen. The homes are individually constructed per your plans to approximately 95% completion in Albuquerque, then transported to your lot for finishing.

Once at your lot the home is attached to a permanent footing and stem wall foundation built by us. After utility hook-ups are completed, minor finishing steps including stucco, tile grouting, concrete, and interior touch-up are finished and your new home is ready to move in!

After completion, there is literally NO DIFFERENCE between our homes and a home built on site. When Preferred homes are appraised, they will be evaluated by comparison to sales of other site-built homes in your area. They are NOT considered to be manufactured, mobile or modular and so most subdivision covenants will permit them. These homes qualify for standard mortgage financing and homeowners insurance

Preferred Building Systems personally invites you to enjoy a custom home that suits your individual lifestyle. Our professional design team will help you modify, customize and upgrade any Preferred home to fit your needs. From floors to ceilings to cabinets and fixtures, we can help you create the personalized look you want, whether contemporary, traditional, rustic or Southwestern.

OUR DESIGN AND PRICING PROCESS:

Step 1. A Preferred Building Systems Site Supervisor will meet you at your property to inspect where you wish to place your home. This is called a "Site Check". In order to conduct a Site Check we will need a copy of your deed, a plat map or survey of your property and a deposit.  We will also look at the route that will be used in to deliver the home. This is very important as In some cases it may be determined that the home will need to be delivered in sections - this does not affect the quality of the home, but can affect the design and price. On rare occasions it may not be possible to deliver a home to your site. If this is the case you will receive a full refund of your deposit .  When we build directly on your lot (Albuquerque Metro Area) we are not concerned with delivery but will need to assess the lot for building suitability such as the slope, etc.

Step 2. Your New Home Consultant can provide you with an estimate of the price per square foot of your home based on where in New Mexico your property is, what size and style home you want constructed, and what amenities you would like in your home. Some upgraded features cannot be priced exactly until the home is being designed as their pricing is dependent on the final layout of your plan.

Step 3. Once we have determined how best to get your home to your property we are ready to design your new home. You will meet with our design team and we will draw up building plans based on what you would like in the home and how you would like it designed. You also will select the colors and finishes such as tiles, carpeting, stucco, etc, in our Design Selection Center to further personalize your home. We can design your home based on one of our sample floor plans, or even better, we can design a unique home from the ground up - just describe your dream home to our expert designers and they will create it just for you!

Step 4. The final price for your home will be calculated as it is being designed. It is important that your home be all that you want, yet still fit within your budget. Once the design is finalized, we will have a firm price for your home. Unlike many custom home builders, we will not change the price during the construction process. If the cost of building materials goes up, for example, we will not pass the increase on to you. We are not a "Cost-Plus" builder.
