- Is it that much trouble to build a home from scratch?
I am in the market for a new home but can't find a ready-made house that has everything I am looking for. Having a house built from scratch is really the only way to have all my specifications met, but friends and family who have had their houses built in the past all talk about how horrible their experiences were (mainly with the builders). Is it really that bad? Also, is it significantly more expensive to build a custom-designed home than a regular cookie-cutter one?

- Which is the better HOME DESIGN SOFTWARE -- BH&G's Home Designer Pro 7 or Punch! Architectural Series 5000?
Other software suggestions would be great... its just that these two makes seem to be most popular on the net. I would like to spend under $200 but it seems worth it to go up to the $500 range for ultimate value purposes. I want to design every aspect of a custom home with ease (no bugs or inconsistencies), be notified of costs, and have a choice of building products (i.e. sound barriers at walls or radiant barriers in attic). I am more concerned about material options than something that is visually stunning or has a million different wall paint colors from which to choose. Thank you.

- Is it legal to create a referral program for real estate professionals to send clients to a home design firm?
I work at a design firm and have created a referral program where if someone sends us a client for full custom design (which is expensive), and they actually complete one with our firm, we give them a reward worth $1,000 or more dollars. Is this legal? And does it abide by the NAR Code of Ethics? So far this has been a friends, family, and known contacts program. However we are considering opening it up to general real estate professionals, since our clients need land before we can design a home for them. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks! We are not a builder or contractor. We design homes, like an architect. And the referral program is already open to everyone, the idea is to market it to real estate professionals because they help people buy land. Our clients need land for us to design a home. We are only asking for a simple email introduction. If it works out, wonderful. If not no worries. Does anyone know if it is legal, or violates any published eithics rules? So it sounds like the liability is a definite concern, and disclosure within closing documents is a major barrier also. Especially if the referral doesn't even happen until after closing, because at that point there is no way to document the disclosure. Sounds to me like a good idea but with many barriers built into the market, and few safe consistant ways to work around those. Is that accurate?

- So California Custom Home Construction Costs?

I was just curious if anyone has an idea of what the cost per square foot would be for an approximate 3,500 - 4,0000 square foot home? I would be looking to be using a higher level of interior design (i.e wood flooring, granite countertops, wolf/viking appliances, etc).
- Where can I get custom made earrings made with my own design?
Similar to how Big Black from Rob and Big has his own logo with the double B's. I have my initials JP in a design I created and I'm trying to find a way to get it made into an actual pair of earrings. Gold or gold plated, whichever. By custom I don't mean home made with random stones like when you search for custom online. I want to have my logos on my ears made for me. I'd prefer one I could do online rather than having to travel somewhere.
- Help name my custom invitation/graphic design business?
I need some help naming my business. We will create custom invitations, stationery and gifts. Eventually, we may expand to offer graphic design services as well. This will be a home based studio, doing all other business via the internet. I want something catchy, but easy to remember, and with a sense of style or flair that easily communicates what we do. I had come up with Creative Invitations, but that's already taken. Any ideas?

- Can anyone offer any suggestions for how I can get an interview at Lowes or Home Depot?
I have 3 years experience as a project manager for a custom home builder. My strengths are kitchen/bath design and millwork. I love my job, but the economy is so bad in Michigan that I believe Lowes or Home Depot would be much better form me if I could just get a foot in the door! I've appied at both online, but I have a feeling that those avenues are a bit of a long shot. Thanks for any help!
- How much would I pay to for a custom web design for a site like or better than http://www.deciccohomes.ca ?
I want to pay for original custom web design work only - no templates. Moreover, I don't want to pay more than $25 a month for hosting and maintanance afterwards but I would like the same professional to do this. To be perfectly clear, I would like a serious full time professional with a solid portfolio to do this. I need direct contact and personal attention. I have digital photos and brochures for the designer to draw from. Note: I build homes, but this does not mean that I would like to be ripped for all I am worth. I had a local studio offer to do this for $12,000 and $300 a month afterwards for hosting and maintenance. I am sure that adding two or three photos every month would not cost this much. What would a serious professional web designer in Ontario charge for a job like this? Please no referrals. How much would the one time fee for the design work be? Ashley, if I wanted a template I could buy one for $50 and then I would not need a professional to tailor my website. How do you know that deciccohomes.ca is based on a template?
