Where is a Frank Betz-Hillcrest Home Constructed?

Question

Frank Betz is a home plan designer. I am looking for a constructed version of his design called Hillcrest or The Hillcrest. I am interested in building this home and would like to see it constructed first. If anyone knows where this home may be constructed please let me know. Thanks!

Answer 1

I looked at the Hillcrest plans on the Betz web page and it looks like a very nice design. The thing is, if you are interested in the quality of the workmanship, that's going to vary from builder to builder regardless of the plans. One builder may decide to use cheaper materials to make himself more money, while the next builder can build the same exact design with high quality materials resulting in a much nicer construction.
If you are just interested in seeing the overall layout in 3 dimensions, thats a different story. Go to this page http://www.frankbetz.com/builders/ pick your state, and it will list all the builders in your area that have built Betz designs. Call a few of them to schedule tours of their Betz constructions. Not only will you see your design in 3D, you'll see the varying degrees of craftsmanship between the different builders, giving you a good idea on who to hire to build your home.
