Value Engineering Sets Charleston Homes Head and Shoulders Above Other Omaha Builders!

Hi, I’m Jim Nickman! As Director of Production for Charleston Homes, value is my main concern; that is, value for you in one of our fine homes! It’s all part of our unique “value engineering” concept.

Now, let me define what that concept means for you right from the start.

For some builders, value simply means saving money. We have a far different (and better) idea. To us, value means, we build the best possible product at the most reasonable price we can give you!

Let me back that statement up with some real proof about the elements that go into each and every one of our homes:

Wall Studs

We use Engineered Studs to give you straighter, truer walls! Now, these studs cost us three to four times more to put in than with typical 2” by 4” construction, but we give you a better, finished product!

Subfloors

Often, people don’t think at all about subfloors, but they must be of sturdy construction because, of course, they get walked on every day! We use a 23/32” Oriented Strand Board (OSB) tongue and groove subfloor system in all our homes.

Some builders save money for themselves by using 5/8” flooring, but, to us, that’s the not best value for our customers. Instead, we use the OSB subfloor system to give extra rigidity and a snug, reliable fit!

Tubs/Showers

In Charleston homes, we use a Plaster-of Paris-type of material around all the tubs and showers. This eliminates or minimizes the amount of squeaking you sometimes get from movement in those tubs and showers. Not every builder in our area does this!

Engineered Floor Truss System

We use an engineered floor truss system in all our homes. These systems are engineered to carry a specific load at a particular point in the house.

That means every joist is where it should be, which helps carry loads straight down through the house. In turn, this increases the rigidity of the floor and provides extra strength where necessary.

Another beauty of the engineered floor truss system is that it creates what’s called an “open web” design. That means you can create a much more open and spacious basement because there aren’t any unsightly beams, columns, or ductwork to consider!

Windows

When you visit one of our homes or see one under construction, you’ll find blue flashing all around our windows in addition to the standard caulking.

This flashing helps with air filtration and eliminates or minimizes moisture penetration! It’s just another way that Charleston Homes adds value to your home because it saves you money on maintenance costs in the long run!

By now, I’m sure you can see that true quality is built into every one of our homes because of our commitment to the best value for our customers.

But, hey, don’t take my word for it! Come talk to us at Charleston homes so we can demonstrate that quality for you. Contact us at 402.502.5600 or visit our web site at www.charlestonhomesomaha.com
