Sherman Smith takes a lot of pride in the homes he builds. His company, Dreamtech Builders, specializes in building homes that maximize energy efficiency and promise longevity while maintaining competitive prices.
“I often have people call and tell me how much cheaper their home is to operate,” said Smith. “It’s more about the quality, the value you get.” Everything from the homes’ crawlspaces to the windows is built with operating costs in mind, which, according to Smith, sets Dreamtech apart from the competition. Smith encourages potential customers to compare Dreamtech homes with those built by his competitors.
“We feel as though our product is substantially different from most of the products available due to the incredible energy efficiency,” he said.
Smith believes that, much like the fuel effi ciency of a car, a home must be designed to save the homeowner money on bills in the future. As a result, Dreamtech often goes far beyond the requirements of building codes in designing a cost-efficient, long-lasting home.
“We’ve been blessed through this economicdownturn, and I think it’s because of our name,” said Smith, referring to the reputation he and his company have built.
Dreamtech also keeps its customers happy by allowing them to customize fl oor plans to their liking.
“You don’t have to buy our pre-defined package,” he said. “We offer you what you want, and that’s a home that fits your need as well as your budget.”
Smith said he is very aware of the typical concerns of a homeowner, and goes out of his way to ensure that customers get what they want. “There’s a lot of difference in the way that we look at building a home,” he said. “We’re not just concerned about cabinets and colors.”
Dreamtech is currently offering homes in many neighborhoods around the Chattanooga and North Georgia areas, such as Providence Point, Waterhaven, Heritage Woods, White Oak Plantation and more. Dreamtech builds townhouses, which typically sell from the area of $114,000 to $140,000, and single-family homes ranging from $180,000 to the upper $200,000s.
