You're The Builder

You're The Builder, The Pocono Mountains premiere Home Building Consultant Company is meeting the market head-on with it's new home building program aimed at being an answer to the foreclosure rates and low builder confidence that have plagued the region.

You're The Builder is a builder for the people! We will work as an advocate for you when building your dream home, vacation home, investment home or retirement home. Many people want to build their own homes, without the aid of a builder, because they have heard horror stories or because they know some things about construction. But if you aren't from the Poconos, and don't know the red tape and right suppliers and contractors - you can be costing yourself time and money. Once owner/builders realize how much is involved, they usually seek out a professional building company - and in the process pay much more than the home actually cost to build. Add the need for financing on top of that and you have a grossly over priced home.

With our program, a flat fee based on the square footage replaces a traditional builder's pricing structure. Most builders will charge a square footage rate, plus a % mark-up on all products and services associated with the building of the home. At You're The Builder, the savings are enormous, and we welcome all visitors to learn more at pocononewhomes.net.

Where to build in the Pocono Mountains

With it's spectacular views and wealth of open space, the Pocono Mountains has fast become one of the most sought out destinations for quiet, country living. Also attractive about the region is the fact that home prices are much more affordable than many New York and New Jersey residents can find in their own states. A problem facing those interested in moving or building here is not knowing the region well enough to make an informed decision about where they will live. A building consultant from the area can help you make the right choice for you and your family. They will know what areas to stay away from, and which are a good investment.

There are different options for folks moving to the Poconos. You can move into or build a home in an amenity-filled community. These are usually gated, secure developments that offer their residents amenities such as lakes, swimming pools, playgrounds, etc. One such development is Arrowhead Lakes in Pocono Lake. Of course there are plenty of homes and plenty of land outside of developments, if you are interested in privacy or bigger parcels of land. If you are moving to the Poconos, check out the Relocation Guide.
