Yes, there's nothing cookie cutter here! Our network of contractors consists exclusively of custom home builders, equally skilled at preserving historic charm and creating fresh, modern designs.

‍

As small business owners, they take pride in their craftsmanship, often relying on in-house teams to maintain high quality at lower costs. Unlike larger companies that outsource labor, our builders ensure consistency, attention to detail, and a hands-on approach to every rebuild.

Many homeowners find that insurance settlements don’t fully cover rebuilding costs. Realm can help by connecting you with financing options, including specialized loans and grants, to bridge the gap. If you feel your payout is unfair, we can also help connect you with an attorney to explore your options. We’ll guide you through the process to ensure you have the resources needed to rebuild your home without unnecessary financial strain.

Before construction begins, your property must undergo Phase 1 (conducted by the EPA) and Phase 2 (conducted by the Army Corps of Engineers or a private contractor) of the debris removal process. Foundation assessments may also be required. Our network includes experienced vendors who manage these critical steps to ensure your land is safe and stable for rebuilding. If you need soil testing, we can assist with that as well. We’ll coordinate the entire process, so you can move forward with confidence.

Our Advisors can either match your home’s original layout or help design something entirely new. Our team ensures the floorplan aligns with your needs, local building codes, and budget. We also help navigate zoning regulations and optimize your space for functionality and value.

Some builders will state that materials like flooring, fixtures, or custom cabinetry are not included, have a specific allowance, or are fully included as part of their price. Realm can help you decide which is best for you and make connections to trusted material partners for any materials you need to buy yourself.

Rebuilding requires various permits depending on your location, including building, zoning, and environmental permits. Realm helps you navigate this process by working with experienced contractors who understand local regulations and can ensure all necessary approvals are secured efficiently.

Timelines vary based on factors like permitting, material availability, and contractor schedules. On average, the process can take several months to over a year. Realm helps streamline this by coordinating efficient workflows, securing materials, and working with experienced builders to minimize delays.
