Living Homes Inc. builds more than just homes…
Founded and owned by Lisa Cole, Living Homes Inc. builds homes in all price
ranges, from starter homes to high-end customs. Over the years, Living Homes
has also built pool houses, managed interior remodels, structural remodels,
assisted with rezoning, and developed land for small residential
communities. Currently, Living Homes Inc. builds in Williamson and
surrounding Tennessee counties. Most of the General Contracting projects
have been in Brentwood, Franklin, Thompson's Station, Spring Hill, and
College Grove.
Living Homes Inc. is different…
"I enjoy the creativeness of the business, before I even pull a permit, I
want to know how people live, how they'll move their furniture into the
house, what household things they argue about and how they want to spend
their free time. For example, I usually have tons of storage space, wider
staircases and maintenance free exteriors. I even offer a solution for
exterior floodlights that does not require climbing a ladder to change the
bulb! From there, I focus on the flow of the home and the bathroom and
kitchen layouts. Then, I make sure that every little detail is decided, even
down to the style and finish of the doorstops." Lisa believes in spending
money wisely. She strongly recommends spending more on cabinets and things
that aren't easy to replace. Living Homes' projects run more smoothly due to
the extensive amount of up front planning. Lisa holds an international
certificate with the Project Management Institute (PMP). This knowledge
helps her to clearly define and communicate the scope of the project with
the customer and all subcontractors. Her PMP expertise also keeps her
project completions on-time and on-budget. "I have never had to go back to a
customer and ask for more money. I have finished every project on or below
budget. Scheduling is a little harder with Tennessee's unpredictable
weather, however, I have only exceeded my schedule completion date on one
project and that was by four days." Lisa's a strong problem solver, which
pays off when dilemmas arise on the job site. Her subcontractors appreciate
her efficiency in scheduling and how she knows and communicates exactly what
she wants.
Here’s what customers say…
Customers often tell Living Homes owner Lisa Cole, "I knew the house was
built by a woman." Customers appreciate her attention to detail. "Quality is
crucial to every project and will not be compromised", Lisa explained. Past
Living Homes' customers find Lisa's prior customer service experience,
honesty, good communication and listening skills to be very beneficial. "I
really liked working with you! You didn't rush me or make me feel foolish."
And, "It was nice to talk to a woman because I felt you got me." |
