Last 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, 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, 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, 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, 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.
May 8, 2015I’m asked this all the time. People have a hard time believing we can build a house (with indoor plumbing) for less than $100/square foot.
February 13, 2015It’s unusual for us to build one of our plans and not make customizations to the layout. Most of our clients will make changes (some slight, some drastic) to an NDI plan to fit the individual needs of their family.
February 10, 2015One of the most exciting moments while building a custom home is finally seeing your selections installed in your home.
February 3, 2015And we have hardwood! A few months ago, I wrote about Engineered Hardwood vs. Solid Hardwood flooring and more specifically, how much I (now) love engineered hardwood.
January 29, 2015OK. We’re starting to have some fun now. The house is trimmed out and painted. I’m loving it! Now it’s time to lay some ceramic tile.
January 28, 2015Our house on Great Falls Street (GFS) in Falls Church is coming along nicely! The trim carpenters have been hard at work inside the house installing the molding and trim features.
January 27, 2015One of the happiest days during construction (for me) is seeing the siding and stone installed. These are color selections EVERYONE sees.
January 19, 2015I love ringing in the New Year. It feels like a fresh start, like anything is possible. Perhaps it’s the new “At-A-Glance” calendar on my desk.
January 9, 2015Do you love the pictures of the beautiful hardwood floors you see on Pinterest and Houzz? Or how about the beautiful hardwood floors those adorable twin brothers from HGTV always use?
November 6, 2014Even the best relationships can be tested during the custom home building process. It’s an emotional and sometimes stressful venture. Not only are you making one of the biggest investments of your life, but there are decisions to be made at every turn.
September 23, 2014We love kitchens around here! Like I mentioned in my last post, kitchens have become the centerpiece of our homes.
