Why BYSTRY Inc. pricing is so competitive?

We run a very lean operation minimizing waste and wasted motion of action.

We have a very efficient structure and low overhead, which enables us to provide our clients with great quality work and rare values.

we spend a lot of time planning construction, optimizing design, and shopping the best value from vendors INSTEAD OF learning on the job and wasting time and money fixing mistakes and shortcomings.

We use latest estimating and planning systems.

We take pride in our achievements in Value Engineering.

We work harder and do most of operations IN-HOUSE.

We buy a lot of materials direct and also enjoy multiple discounts from the vendors. All these savings are transferred directly to our clients.

We prefer staying busy and make a fair return on our services VS. "get rich quick" concept abused by many.

We closely manage projects to avoid costly callbacks and repairs.

The fundamental principles:

• Build Efficient - Too often, building size is dictated by image and not by function.
• Design simply and elegantly - A great deal of materials and money is wasted on excesses, such as unnecessarily complex roofs and appliqué decoration, instead of being invested in the design of timeless structures whose appeal relies on beautiful proportions and fine craftsmanship.
• Design for flexibility - A house that can accommodate a variety of household types, lifestyles, and functions is less likely to require remodeling than one that is designed for a narrowly defined market.
• Build for disassembly - Too often, the only way to get a building apart is with a wrecking ball, reducing valuable materials to rubble. Use screws and bolts, instead of glue and nails, whenever possible; avoid unrecyclable composites, especially those that are short-lived.
• Build a durable structure - Repair and replacement of deteriorating wood accounts for a significant percentage of the total demand for new wood. A well-detailed, solidly built house will outlive its DETAILING FOR DURABILITY shoddy counterpart by many years.
• Plan to minimize waste - Wasted materials are paid for twice: once to buy them, and again to dispose of them. Estimate carefully so you buy no more than you need; use materials to their fullest
• Collaborate with the rest of your team - Opportunities for material efficiencies and time savings often can be found when the developer, architect, engineer, and builder combine resources. Set a meeting as early as possible in the project to discuss this goal.

Vast majority of our homes are built on our clients' properties.

Should you want to make changes and customizations to the plans you had purchased elsewhere (with your architect's proper permission), or just bring your own ideas into our home plan: we will design your home and now will include a FREE 3D visualization option upgrade available with a valid Construction Contract. Custom design and 3D computer visualization MUST be a part of each project.

8-14 months depending on the size of the construction process and the weather conditions. Our clients always receive a detailed schedule before the construction begins.

Our base area of operation is located between North Chattanooga and South Knoxville.

The website prices include basic and normal construction (City water, regular and accessible septic/sewer, standard parking pad). Default conditions of your building site are: leveled or slightly rolling, not rocky; without large trees within actual building pad. If your building site is rather complicated, we will perform the extra work and utilities hookups with minimum possible expenses to our clients.

There are 3 basic contracts that we use:

Cost plus fixed fee contract.

Cost plus percentage contract.

Fixed price contract.

DESIGN AND BUILD aka Design Build aka Turnkey Contract.

Cost -Plus usually being more transparent/flexible homeowner's option.

Cost plus fixed fee contract.

Under this arrangement, the contractor is reimbursed for the actual cost of labor and materials, plus charges a fee (typically an agreed-upon lump sum) for overhead and profit. The consumer and contractor will create a list of specifications and an estimated budget to match to those specifications. Although the contractor under this arrangement will have to keep copious records of its costs.

Where the consumer wants to have open reign to select materials and workmanship as the project proceeds, this arrangement can be extremely flexible and accommodating. Also, cost-plus typically requires the contractor to obtain competitive bids from subcontractors, translating (in theory) to lower construction costs.

Because cost-plus contracts are usually used where the scope of work is uncertain, consumer cannot get spending and upgrading happy- the costs can quickly get way out of control. As one might imagine, the cost-plus contract tends to cause construction lenders fits. However, it is used frequently to great success.

Cost plus percentage contract.

DESIGN AND BUILD aka Design Build aka Turnkey.

In a design-and-build contract, the consumer contracts with a single party that both designs and builds the project. It results in possible substantial cash and time savings by using one party; predictable cost; and better execution of the project due to clearer understanding of the creative vision by the builder.

Also, in the event of problems, the consumer may look to a single source for the responsibility for the finished product. In other words, whenever a problem arises in construction, the consumer will not be stonewalled by a separate builder and design professional each blaming the other for whatever error occurs.

Fixed price contract.

This type of contract promises to build X project for Y dollars. A Fixed Fee or Lump Sum Contract is suitable if the scope and schedule of the project are sufficiently defined to allow the consulting contractor to estimate project costs. For consumers who are able to fully articulate the project specifications they want.

Estimating.

There are two kinds of estimates that we provide:

1. Preliminary, study estimate. This is a PRECONSTRUCTION ENTRY ESTIMATE that is generally derived from the client's specification description, considering today’s labor/material pricing and Bystry Inc. previously complete similar project, This estimate is designed to serve as a study (ballpark) estimate.
2. Detailed preconstruction estimate. This estimate is provided as the client and Bystry Inc. enter in a construction contract. Bystry Inc. uses very detailed, transparent and comprehensive estimating systems. Estimates include everything to quantity of nails and screws used, specified as a line item. These estimates could be as extensive as 100+ pages. It is required for the client to have a proof of available construction funds, construction schedules, and to be willing, able and ready to start construction immediately.

BYSTRY INC. is committed to making homeownership affordable and sensible. We build homes that should allow most people to own for less than they would pay to rent a comparable home. Although interest rates are constantly changing, our experience over the last year has been that a buyer with a moderate to good credit rating can qualify to finance a Home.

To find out how much your monthly payment would be to own meet with a loan originator to get Free Pre-Approval for a mortgage. Pre-Approval won’t obligate you to purchase anything but it will give you accurate financial information so you can make better decisions about buying. How much will my mortgage payments be?

Although some people are fortunate enough to be able to buy their home outright, most will have to secure a mortgage in order to purchase a home. Mortgage lenders have numerous criteria for qualifying an individual for financing and determining the rate at which they will approve a loan.

Much like getting a loan for a car, it is necessary for a person to complete a formal application for pre-approved financing in order to determine exactly what their monthly payment will be and their ability to afford owning a BYSTRY Home. In general though, we have had the most success qualifying individuals with a household income of at least $27,000 per year.

There are many reasons for owning your own home but we believe the most important is the opportunity for you to build equity through ownership. Your monthly payments go towards ownership of your home rather than into your landlord’s pocket. In addition, it can be less expensive than rent and the interest on your mortgage payments are tax-deductible. Don’t forget the other advantages of home ownership, which include the opportunity to keep a pet and to decorate any way you like.
