We are moving!!

Yes, we have sold our model home in Cathedral Pines, and the buyers want to move in!  Who can blame them?  So, this weekend will be our two final days here on Saxton Hollow Rd.  Don't worry; we will still be in the neighborhood! Jean will be located in the Cathedral Pines Community Center, at 13977 Milam Rd.
(10-5 Mon-Sat: 12-5 Sunday)
Our phone number will be the same.

 (719) 495-4408 
Steve will be working on our next model home at 13620 Lauriston Pl., also here in Cathedral Pines and Brad will be busy designing homes.  

We will be closed for Thanksgiving on Thursday and Friday, but please stop by on Saturday (10-5) or Sunday (12-5) for a final look!

We hope you all have a wonderful
Happy Thanksgiving!

Smaller, Smarter, Lower Cost Floor plan designs.

Recently, we have had requests for designs that are smaller and less expensive to build.  It’s a challenge, sometimes, to squeeze space out of a plan, while preserving the integrity of the usability of each room.  There are several ways to create a more efficient plan:

• Eliminate the breakfast nook and formal dining room to create one eating area that functions for casual dining or entertaining.  The kitchen can also be designed to allow for casual meals around an island.
• Design plans with fewer rooms that can serve multiple functions as your needs change.  For example create a dining room that can also function as a study, or create a bedroom that can function as an exercise room.
• Design more efficient decks and patios with spaces for outdoor cooking, seating and hot tubs while eliminating wasted space. 
• Create rooms around furniture placement so that the furniture fits the room, using the space wisely. 
• Simplify the foundation and roof structure to reduce material cost.

At Alliance Builders Inc., we are very good at designing to a budget.  We have created an extensive questionnaire to help our clients determine what things are important, as well as what items they can compromise on.  We use our extensive experience with “value engineering” to meet our client’s needs. 

Designing a custom home is a process.  We start with the budget, help select a location, and then create a custom design to fit your individual needs. 

Alliance Builders would like to be your new Custom Home builder and designer!  Please give us a call!

We have started framing the new Alliance Builders Inc. model home in Cathedral Pines. We are really excited about this home. The floor plan is designed and placed on the lot to take advantage of the Pikes Peak view, it has a huge garage ready for a motor home or a workshop, plus it has a great sun room with a fireplace.

There are a few trees in the view corridor. This summer we are going to relocate them to other places on the lot. Relocating the trees is part of our Green Building concepts for this home.

The sunroom will be great for entertaining family and friends or personal relaxation. However as we always say, “the customers have all of the good ideas”. Recently a customer suggested using the corner of the sunroom for growing cooking herbs. What a great Idea!
