Building a custom home can be a scary thing. It is likely the biggest investment a person will make and most people find it difficult to imagine how you go from a hole in the ground to a beautiful new home.

May 18, 2016Welcome to my week in review! We've been busy around here in spite of all of this rain. And oh boy, is it wet! I can't remember a spring as wet as this.
May 13, 2016There are things that happen throughout the week here at NDI (and at home) that don't always warrant a full blown blog post but may be of interest to you (at least I hope!).
May 6, 2016Cooking is definitely one of my passions! While I try to cook as often as I can, my busy work/life schedule doesn't always leave a lot of free to time to create a gourmet meal.
May 5, 2016When I tell people I run a family business, I get asked a lot of questions. I think people are intrigued by the idea of working for a family business. I read an article once in which the author said some of the best companies are family run and some of the worst companies are family run.
April 28, 2016New home designs make me giddy. Especially when I have a personal attachment to the design which is the case with this latest release.
April 22, 2016Last year I wrote a blog post about what you get for our standard base price. Builders tend to load up their model homes with optional features to show potential buyers what their new home could look like.
March 17, 2016If you are financing your new construction project, your lender will need to order an appraisal of the property.
March 11, 2016NDI had a birthday this week and it's made me a bit nostalgic about the last 28 years. I was 14 when Dad started the company and while I helped answer the phones while on college breaks, I didn't start working at NDI "for real" until 2001.
March 3, 2016It's our birthday today and we have so much to be happy about! Quite frankly, we're just downright blessed.
February 29, 2016This is the fifth installment of our Investor Series. Today I've asked one of our Investor Builders to talk about some of the things he's learned as an investor.
October 2, 2015Is it really the end of September? Seems like just yesterday, it was May. How was your summer? We've been busy here at NDI.
September 25, 2015Choosing colors and selections for a new home is challenging because most people don't know what they want.
August 13, 2015Happy summertime! It feels like just yesterday I was wishing you a Happy New Year in my first blog post of 2015.
July 17, 2015Did you see that storm that came through northern Virginia on Saturday evening? It wasn’t a derecho but it was legit and it reminded me of how ill prepared I was for The Derecho of 2012. Do you remember that one?
June 22, 2015Names are pretty important. When Paul and I found out we were expecting our first child, we began to think about names.
June 18, 2015I’m a huge planner. Always have been and I suspect I always will be. I make a “To Do” list every day.
June 5, 2015We are off to a great start with our NDI Gives Back program. In the short time since we've launched the program, we've donated nearly 100 hours of service to various organizations and causes. Our push to get more involved in our community has been a great success. We even made the local paper!
May 13, 2015Do you ever see a picture on Pinterest or Houzz and think that's it! That is what I want my _______ (insert here) to look like. These websites are a blast to look at (oh the hours I could spend) for inspiration. But executing what you see on the internet to real life is not always easy.
May 12, 2015This is the third post in my Investor Series. I've talked about the pros and cons of spec building and what to consider when choosing a building location.
