See your custom renovation in 3D before its reality. BUILDING TRUST BLOG BE CLEAR See your custom renovation in 3D before its reality. < Back Will Cord 2020-11-12 Our Design team can utilize 3D renderings like these on large, multi-room renovations. They are unbelievably realistic, and sometimes difficult to distinguish from an actual photograph. In addition to this WOW factor, 3-D renderings have 7 practical benefits for both client and contractor. Clarifies Vision - Why waste a thousand words (or more) when a picture is available? A rendering can accelerate clarification for all involved in the renovation process and provides far more clarity than 2D renderings. Identifies Problems - Is the renovation feasible to build? A 3D rendering helps identify structural integrity issues and enhances spacial awareness. Reduces Delay - What is the #1 way to ensure a successful renovation? Answer: Establish shared expectations between contractor and client. Unshared expectations cause inefficiencies, frustrations, and can easily turn into a renovation train wreck. A 3D rendering showcases an outcome everyone can understand. Reveals Options - Is there a mental block regarding Design ideas? A clear project rendering triggers ideas and inspiration. Optimizes Distribution - Would hearing the opinion of others be helpful? 3D rendering software is easy to upload and share via Dropbox. Being able to efficiently share a rendering allows for rapid feedback from friends and family. Strengthens Accountability - Does the renovation match the 3D rendering? If not, why not? A 3D rendering creates a visual agreement between contractor and client. It’s the standard by which a finished renovation can be evaluated. Any discrepancy can be traced to a responsible party. Prevents Letdown - Are you happy with the finished product? No one wants to regret a big purchase. And a contractor especially doesn’t want (or shouldn’t want) anyone to experience buyer’s remorse. Afterall happy clients are the link to future business. Seeing the finished renovation before moving forward minimizes letdown. Blindly buying a custom renovation isn’t necessary. See it first with a 3D rendering and move into the build process with confidence. Are you contemplating a major home renovation?

Generate design ideas and communicate them with photos. BUILDING TRUST BLOG PICTURE THIS Generate design ideas and communicate them with photos. < Back Will Cord 2020-01-22 How photos generate great design ideas and have other benefits in the renovation process. Remodelers love showing off their work. We definitely do, and photos are a great way. Our growing portfolio of photography is an important part of our business, giving visual evidence of our capability. Here’s a little secret though. We can renovate to the level of any photo you find. Yes, all Houzz and Pinterest renovations are doable. In fact, if you are considering a renovation, I’d encourage you to start with photos. Here are 7 reasons why, Photos are great for inspiration - Sometimes you don’t know what you want until you see it. Photos inspire so many great ideas, helping you narrow down the look and scope of your renovation. Photos are great for communication - You may understand what you want, but does your contractor? Using a picture could save you a thousand words. Never start a renovation until you’re certain your contractor shares your expectations. Photos are great for visualization - An architect or designer can use photos to create a plan unique to your living space, helping you and your contractor clearly visualize the outcome. A design literally puts you, the designer and contractor all “on the same page”. Photos are great for selections - Choosing paint colors, fixtures and flooring is easier when you see them in a photo of a completed renovation. Otherwise, you will start with an endless list of samples, which is tedious and trying. (*Note: Seeing samples are a good idea once you’ve narrowed down the options. A good interior designer will arrange this.) Photos are great for valuation - Pricing a project becomes a little more straightforward when you see what you’re purchasing. A picture helps a contractor identify all the necessary selections and specs, and thus price your renovation accordingly. Your goal should be to arrive at a fixed cost before you start demo. Photos are great for evaluation - Not to be confused with #5 , valuation . Having photos at the onset helps you evaluate at the end. They help you answer: Were my expectations met? Photos are great for emotion - Emotion obviously plays a big role in major purchases. You definitely want to be happy with the renovation you purchase. A photo gives you a small taste of what you will “feel” when your renovation is complete. Are you contemplating a major home renovation? Speak with a Daniel Builders project guide by calling 864.506.5546 and discuss the best path forward for your custom renovation or get your renovation started here!

What is an Accessory Dwelling Unit? An ADU is a self-contained residential unit. This unit is secondary to the main house on a residential lot. BUILDING TRUST BLOG HOME SWEET ADU What is an Accessory Dwelling Unit? An ADU is a self-contained residential unit. < Back Will Cord 2023-06-30 What is an Accessory Dwelling Unit? An ADU is a self-contained residential unit. This unit is secondary to the main house on a residential lot. The purpose of an ADU is to be an independent living spot. It will have its own entrance, kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area. An ADU can either be attached or detached from the primary house. Their purpose is to make a home for more people on the same property. ADUs offer a flexible option for families to care for loved ones in a multi-generational home. They can also create opportunities for rental income, add to your existing area, or even provide office space or a place to start a new business. Not only do they go by different names, but ADUs come in a variety of types. Conversion ADU - Conversion or Junior ADUs (JADUs) convert an existing space into a separate unit. This could be a basement, garage, screened porch, or even an existing bedroom. Conversion ADUs take advantage of structures that are already present. This can make them much more cost-effective. Not only do they save on construction costs, a conversion ADU can save time since the foundation and framework already exist. Repurposing a garage or basement can make better use of spaces that are not currently utilized or functional. A conversion also allows you to maintain the original style and character of the home. A conversion ADU is both a practical and cost-effective solution. It maximizes available resources while keeping costs lower than a detached unit. Attached ADU - An attached ADU takes advantage of an existing wall along the side or back of the original home. An attached ADU has its own entry door and may also have a door on the shared wall for easy access between the two. Attached ADUs often share utilities with the main house. This can be cost-saving for both units. An attached ADU can match the original home, unifying both the style and appearance. Having an attached ADU also provides extra security for both primary and secondary residents. Properties with a limited size are more suited to an attached ADU, especially where a detached ADU is not an option. An attached ADU can also save money compared to constructing a separate building. Detached ADU - A detached ADU offers the most flexibility of all types. There is a clear separation from the main home by a strip of land, which can allow for more yard space to enjoy. It is independent of the primary building, and it doesn't share any walls. A big advantage of this is the privacy and independence it provides. This especially benefits renters or home office users. A detached ADU offers design flexibility without the constraints of the existing home. Since there are no shared walls, it provides a quieter space for both the primary and ADU residents. Detached ADUs offer an excellent opportunity for rental income. Homeowners can rent out a separate unit long-term or short-term. They also can increase the market value of the home. Is an ADU a good investment? Whatever type of ADU you choose, there are many benefits to having one. Increased Housing Options - ADUs increase available housing without new development. They offer flexible solutions to current homeowners. ADUs create office space or generate rental income. They can also provide a home for aging parents or a spot for adult children. Cost Effective - ADUs can provide affordable housing to a wider range of people. Building an ADU is often more affordable than building a new home. Multi-Generational Living - ADUs allow you to live with parents or adult children while maintaining privacy and independence for everyone. This can promote stronger bonds within a family and also provide a sense of security and support. Income Potential - renting an ADU can improve your financial stability or serve as a passive income stream. Aging in Place - ADUs allow seniors to age in place, maintaining their independence. All this while remaining close to their family or support network. Sustainable Land Use - ADUs use the existing infrastructure in neighborhoods. This maximizes the use of available space without the need for new development. They support sustainable growth and reduce urban sprawl. Increase Property Value - The extra living space, income, and flexibility of ADUs lead to a great ROI. ADUs are valuable assets and attract potential buyers. Community Integration - ADUs add diversity to neighborhoods and foster social connections. They allow for a mix of housing types and individuals with a variety of backgrounds and incomes. Shorter Commutes and Less Traffic - In urban areas, ADUs help reduce commuting and traffic congestion. People can live closer to where they work or attend school and enjoy local amenities. Are accessory dwelling units legal ? Can I build an ADU on my property? How many accessory dwelling units can you have? The regulations and legal requirements for ADUs in South Carolina vary based on specific locations and local zoning. Consult with local city and county authorities for your specific restrictions. But in general, you need to consider a few things. Keep in mind that rules or regulations can change, so it's up to you to consult your city or county for the most up-to-date information relevant to ADUs in South Carolina. Zoning Regulations - Zoning ordinances will determine if an ADU is allowed and where it must be located on the property. They will also spell out any other conditions such as size or height limitations. Also be sure to check for setback limits, parking provisions, or density requirements. Building Codes - ADUs must follow all building codes and regulations for safety in South Carolina. These rules will include structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, and fire safety. Permitting and Approval Process - You must apply for any permits and approvals before you start construction on your ADU. The process may involve submitting detailed plans and paying fees. It also might include meeting specific requirements and getting necessary approvals from local building departments or planning commissions. Size and Design Limits - Some areas have limits on the size or square footage of ADUs. Restrictions related to the size of the primary home or lot are possible. There also may be designs or styles required that are compatible with the neighborhood. Occupancy and Rental Regulations - There may be limits on how many people live on the entire property including the ADU. Also, there could be restrictions on whether short-term or long-term rentals are allowed. Homeowner Association (HOA) Rules - If your property is overseen by a homeowner’s association, check to see if they have rules that govern ADUs. Some HOAs will have restrictions or extra requirements beyond your local regulations. Utility Connections and Impact Fees - Your ADU should comply with all utility connection requirements. Water, sewage, and electrical all need to be considered as some areas impose impact fees for new ADUs. What are the cost implications of an ADU? The next consideration for ADUs is financing and construction. Things like location, design, size, materials, and your personal preferences will all play a role in the final outcome of both. Personal funds are a great way to cover the cost of construction, but there are other ways to pay if that isn't an option. Home Equity Loans or a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) are viable alternatives. You can tap into the equity of your own home and borrow against it to cover the cost of construction. You can also explore construction loans which payout in stages as the project goes on. Government programs, grants, or local tax incentives may be offered for ADUs in your area. Working with professionals like those at Daniel Builders will ensure you follow local building codes. Our Guide-Design-Build process will lead you through developing the plans and getting permits. We also ensure compliance with all Anderson or Greenville building codes. When getting quotes, be sure to include labor, materials, site preparation, and utilities. Establish a timeline that covers any demolition, site prep, foundation work, and framing. Also consider utility installations, interior finishing, and landscaping. It is very important to note that ADUs may face new or increasing legal and regulatory obstacles as they become more popular. Local rules will have a large influence on the growth of ADUs by either enabling or restricting them. We recommend you consult with local authorities in your specific location to get the most accurate and up-to-date information. In South Carolina, cities like Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, and Anderson have seen an increasing interest in ADUs. ADUs address housing shortages, provide affordable homes, and account for changing local demographics. There is a growing interest in all types of ADUs due to the demand for more diverse and flexible living arrangements. Daniel Builders would love to help make yours a reality!

This Lake Hartwell South Carolina home with open concept was recognized by winning a Bridge Award for a four pane ceiling with tongue and groove paralleling a four gable roof. 2022 2022 BRIDGE AWARD WINNER (400K) TRADITIONAL OPEN CONCEPT Daniel Builders was named 2022 Bridge Awards Winner for “Highest Degree of Difficulty and Best Innovation of Space in a Partial Home Remodel $400K” for the “Gambrell Road” house. The Bridge Awards are presented annually by GBS Building Supply and produced by the Home Builders Association of Greenville to recognize excellence in craftsmanship and professionalism in the Home Building industry in the Upstate. "THIS WAS AN ESPECIALLY COMPLEX CEILING AS SEEN IN THE PHOTOGRAPHY, BUT OUR CRAFTSMEN WERE UP FOR THE CHALLENGE AND DID EXQUISITE WORK." - BOB CORD, DANIEL BUILDERS This lakefront home features 4 gable roof lines that all meet at a central peak in the center of the living area. Our goal was to create parallel lines with 3’’ tongue and grove across each ceiling plane, while also accounting for variance of existing structure. Shadow lines in the trim were utilized to create intentional reveals throughout the ceiling, and the ceiling was scribed to the existing fireplace. Miter folds cap the corners of the ceiling to create an intriguing visual at the peak of the ceiling. Previous Next Back to Awards Gallery

Get these answers before starting a custom renovation. BUILDING TRUST BLOG BIG ASK Ask these questions before starting a custom renovation. < Back Will Cord 2018-08-22 Ask the right questions before starting a custom renovation. “If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than 5 minutes.” - Albert Einstein. Identifying a renovation contractor who “best fits” you and your project is a problem-solving process. Simplifying the process requires asking good questions. And not just your questions, but questions the contractor asks as well. You, as a customer, ultimately want to know “Am I getting value worth my money?”, while the contractor (at least a reputable one) wants to know, “Am I getting money worth my value?” A “fit” happens when both sides can confidently answer “yes”. Here are 5 questions to ask and answer before moving forward with a renovation. How long will I live in the house I’m renovating? If you’re planning to move within 2 years a major renovation probably wouldn’t make sense. You’re not likely to recoup money invested. How does the renovation process differ from contractor to contractor? Every contractor is different. Knowing how long a renovation takes, the disruption it causes, how and when selections are made, how change orders are processed, the warranties offered, and other details about the process will help you match yourself with the right contractor. How much will I spend? This may be the most important question you answer. Coming up with a range is good, but a fixed price is best. You may need to be educated on how much things cost, but don’t make an impulse decision. Know your spending limits. Where do I need help clarifying and describing the renovation I want? If you need assistance, a design build approach gives you the best idea of what you’ll receive before actually starting construction. What are reasonable expectations about service and responsiveness? Expecting daily updates is likely overkill, but not hearing from your contractor in several days is not good. Weekly communication should be the expectation. Always wise to stay up to date with your renovation. These are just a few questions, and they can vary. Just don’t miss an opportunity to ask. Be professional, be specific, be straightforward, but always ask. The big question is: What will you ask when your renovation depends on it? For questions that can help you find a reputable contractor, check out this post. Are you contemplating a major home renovation?

2023 is slowing to a halt and that’s an opportunity to reflect on what just happened over the last 12 months. And a lot happened! Here are seven highlights from an action packed 2023 at Daniel Builders.  BUILDING TRUST BLOG 2023 PROJECT PORTFOLIO Highlights from an action packed 2023. < Back Will Cord 2023-12-30 2023 is slowing to a halt and that’s an opportunity to reflect on what just happened over the last 12 months. And a lot happened! Here are seven highlights from an action packed 2023 at Daniel Builders. 1. Built to Last - April marked the completion of multi month remodel of a historic home within walking distance of downtown Pendleton, SC. Every square inch of the home was included in the scope of work as a century old home was refurbished to last another century. Only studs were showing once demo was complete, and some of those were even replaced. The big reveal took place during a summer celebration as numerous friends and family gathered to see the transformed home. A delightful time enjoyed by all! The two photos below provide only a glimpse of how massive the transformation was, but you can get the full scoop, including videos, on our website or hear the client's perspective in this video testimonial . 2. Go Small, Go Viral - For the first time Daniel Builders had a social media post go viral . A detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) was at the center of all the attention. Only 350 square feet, and constructed in the backyard of a Greenville residence, this tiny home had a sizable impact. And as these photos show, its hard not to love this small dwelling! 3. Super-Sized Addition - From small and detached to large and attached we wrapped up an ADU of another type this year. This one in the heart of downtown Greenville, a place where many are search for suitable living space. Finding it was easy for these clients. Instead of moving out they added on. The outcome was stunning! Below is the before shot and here is what it turned into. The drone shot with Greenville's downtown in the skyline is must see, probably our best photo of the year! 4. Photogenic Kitchen - Our current Build Director, Sean Harvey, Project Managed this kitchen remodel. He also has the unique distinction of being the photographer. Sean isn't a professional photographer (though he may aspire to be), but this kitchen didn't need professional photography. As you can see the beauty and design shine through regardless of who is snapping the photo. 5. Attic Living - When was the last time you discovered something valuable about your home? In 2023 we helped clients discover a beautiful room above their heads. Once an unappealing storage area, this attic space turned into something truly inviting. And to think it was always there the whole time, just under the roof. 6. Artistic Flair - We learn so much about our clients during the Design phase of our process. For example some have a real artistic flair when it comes to create a design for their home. Such was the case for these clients. In 2023 their design input resulted in a decorative custom rail and an inspiring doorway. Listen as they tell their remodeling story on the Ready, Set, Renovate podcast! 7. Building a Bridge Collection - One memorable evening of 2023 was the night we took home eight Bridge Awards. That was a first! See the complete list and read about those projects here .

Finding and choosing a reliable general contractor in South Carolina for your project is the first and most important step to getting the best outcome. There are so many options, but how do you choose the right one? BUILDING TRUST BLOG CONTRACTOR NEAR ME Find and choose a reliable renovation contractor for your home remodel. < Back Will Cord 2023-09-07 Are you looking to renovate or remodel your home? Add on an accessory dwelling unit (ADU)? Complete a bathroom renovation or a kitchen remodel? Finding and choosing a reliable general contractor in South Carolina for your project is the first and most important step to getting the best outcome. There are so many options, but how do you choose the right one? In this blog, we will share tips on how to find and choose the perfect remodelling contractor for you. Define the Scope of Your Project Before you begin the search for a home renovation contractor, you must define the scope of your project. You should determine the specific details, requirements, and outcomes most important to you. Having a clear idea of your goals will help you communicate with potential home remodeling contractors. This will also help you gauge their suitability for the job. Conduct Online Research Use online resources to expand your search for contractors. Websites like Angie's List, HomeAdvisor, and Houzz have directories of general contractors and home renovation companies. These sites will even let you narrow your search down to specific cities such as Greenville, South Carolina or Anderson, South Carolina, and in some cases, you can even search more specific neighborhoods within cities. These websites will also include customer reviews and ratings. Read reviews and browse through portfolios of any general contractor you are considering. This will give you a sense of their work quality and previous client experiences. Speaking of reviews and ratings, have you read our client testimonials and reviews ? Check Licenses and Insurance It is very important to make sure that any home remodeling contractor you consider is both licensed and insured. Valid licenses prove that the remodeling contractor has met certain professional standards and regulations. Carrying proper insurance protects you from potential liability in the event of an accident or property damage during the project. Interview Potential Contractors Next, choose potential house renovation contractors and schedule a consultation. During these meetings, ask about their experience, qualifications, project timelines, subcontractors, and references. Pay attention to their communication style, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns. A reliable home renovation contractor will have great communication skills. Check References and Portfolios Ask for references from previous clients, and then take the time to reach out to them. Find out if they are satisfied with the remodeling contractor's work and professionalism. Did they stick to promised timelines and handle unexpected challenges well? Review the contractor's portfolio to check out the quality and style of their previous projects. Make sure they align with your vision. Review Contracts and Agreements Once you have selected a contractor, it is important to review the details of all contracts and agreements. Most home renovation companies will want to document the entire process. Pay special attention to important details such as project timelines and payment schedules. Make sure to include the scope of work, materials to be used, and warranties. If necessary, seek legal advice to make certain you understand all the terms and conditions. Finding and choosing a reliable home renovation contractor is a crucial step in a successful home renovation. By following these recommendations, you can make an informed decision. Remember to define the scope of your project, get recommendations, do your research, interview potential contractors, and check references. Any reliable general contractor will carry the required licenses and insurance. They will be good communicators, have integrity, experience, and act professionally. If you invest the time and effort into choosing a reliable contractor, your home remodel will be a success! Are you in need of a home renovation contractor?

Build trust with Candor, Competence & Commitment. BUILDING TRUST BLOG TRUST BLUEPRINT Build trust with Candor, Competence & Commitment. < Back Will Cord 2022-01-31 Trust is a common value and tagline for businesses everywhere. As a renovation contractor we're building trust on the basis of competence, honesty, communication, connection, and commitment. It can't be built with passivity or indifference. And even though TRUST may feel uncertain at the start, there's no reason that feeling should continue. Trustworthy behavior doesn't take long to become apparent. Enduring TRUST isn’t blind TRUST. Here are 5 key building blocks for Building Trust. Honesty - Nothing builds TRUST more rapidly than speaking in a straightforward and truthful manner. Even major personality differences won't sabotage a relationship when transparency and factual communication prevail. Communication - Being super articulate isn’t necessary to foster TRUST through communication. Consistent communication is necessary though, even to the point of being uncomfortably repetitive. Speaking is only a small part of communication equation. Listening well is a higher priority. Simply paying attention leads to identifying and addressing faulty expectations before they undermine TRUST. And it’s vital to follow-up important conversations in writing. Competence - Being excellent and proficient at something will build TRUST. In the Bible there’s a proverb that says, “A person’s gift makes room for him, And brings him before great people.” (Proverbs 18:16). In other words, doing something really well creates such a high level of TRUST in your ability that you can't keep it a secret. Connection - Humans are wired with emotions. Emotion should be understood, but never manipulated. Honoring a person’s emotion shows a level of respect that is memorable. As Maya Angelou said, “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Commitment - All of these building blocks require repetition. At any moment trust can crumble if there’s no willingness to continue building. Someone once said TRUST is gained in drips but lost in buckets. In other words, the accumulation of TRUST is quickly lost by a single act of untrustworthiness. Our team at Daniel Builders is serious about Building Trust. It’s much more than our tagline. It’s always on our mind. We realize entrusting your home to us is no small matter.
