You Can Build Your Dream Home

After years of painstaking research, thousands of dollars, multiple refinements, and trial and error, The National Home Building Owner Builder System is ready for you. You really can save $10k to $100k by eliminating the middleman and being your own general contractor. The step-by step program helps you build the home of your dreams, affordably -- even if you do not have any construction experience.

This system has already revolutionized the way homes are built. We invite you to take advantage of this opportunity, today.

But first, here are some real-world examples:

Owner/Builders Say:

"...We would like to thank you for all your time and help over the last six months. Your owner builder program made it possible to build a home that otherwise we would not have been able to afford. Not to mention all the equity we have in our home now. We saved a little over $70,000 by using your program and doing a lot of the work ourselves.

The construction binder was a life saver! It make it easy to keep track of bids, contracts, and billing. It was also very helpful in keeping within our budget. Most of the Sub-contractors were very professional and helpful. I would have to say that the Sub-contractor agreements were extremely helpful in more than one instance. I would recommend them to anyone who is building or thinking of building.

Overall, the program saves a lot of money and is extremely helpful. I would highly recommend your service to anyone who is considering building and look forward to using your service again (in a few years). Thanks again for all your help and time!" -- Benjamin Swenson

"We would not build our house any other way. Our consultant was great!" -- Tim and Tina Anderson

"Mr. Shalvis recently supervised the construction of two homes built by volunteer labor for Salt Lake Habitat for Humanity. He was highly recommended to me by Bruce Quint of Community Development Corporation and Randy Jepperson of Salt Lake County. Both men summarized Ron as 'one of the best in the business.'

!I was not disappointed. Ron was a pleasure to work with. He saved our affiliate thousands of dollars with his excellent construction management. In addition to his management skills, he demonstrated a superior ability to direct volunteers. He supervised over 300 volunteers on the two homes. I received accolades on his pleasant demeanor and patience with volunteers; many of whom had never held a hammer.

"I highly recommend Ron on both a personal and professional level. He is the best construction supervisor I have had the opportunity to work with. It was a pleasure to work with him. Please don't hesitate to contact me at (801) 463-0554 if you have additional questions about Mr. Shalvis." -- Yasamina Roque, Executive Director Habitat for Humanity, Salt Lake Valley

"... I was reading the newspaper when I noticed an advertisement indicating that a person had saved thousands building their house with the help of a construction consultant. I was immediately skeptical but I tore out the ad and placed it in a folder labeled 'Dream House' (it was our intent to someday hire someone to build our home).

"This past summer our financial situation improved to where we began looking at building lots. I retrieved the 'Dream House' folder and called the person in the newspaper ad. I made an appointment and my wife and I met with Ron Shalvis of Caliber Construction & Consulting. He explained his program of construction consulting and how we could save several thousand dollars acting as our own general contractor and utilizing his expertise as a consultant. After visiting with some of Ron's previous clients and securing the necessary approvals for the construction loan, we jumped in with both feet.

"We broke ground on July 14, 1997 and had final inspection approximately three and one half months later on October 30, 1997. As with any worthwhile project, there were some ups and downs working with subcontractors as well as going through the learning curve of supervising the building of one's own home. However, it was a tremendous experience that we accomplished as a family. In fact, it was such a positive experience, that we will probably build another home in the future.

"Ron's list of reliable subcontractors, budget estimates, customized time-line and other written materials were invaluable. Ron himself is an affable individual and was accessible and helpful over the entire course of construction. We are extremely pleased with our new home and have calculated a cost savings of almost $18,000 dollars with the help of Ron and Caliber Construction and Consulting."
-- Bruce & Debbie Bowen, Springville, UT

"In January of 1997 my wife and I purchased a building lot in Cedar Pass Ranch, west of Lehi. We had an idea of what type of home we wanted to build. After talking to different homebuilders, it became apparent that this home was going to cost a lot more than we planned. We looked at other self-build programs, but they were designed around their type of home on their lots and at a high consulting fee.

"After seeing a billboard for Caliber Construction, I called and made an appointment. After meeting with Ron, I entered into a consulting agreement with Caliber Construction. We were able to start construction in August of 1997. He was able to help with every aspect of the building process. I found him to be very professional with a complete knowledge of the building process. His experience with subcontractors was able to save me more money than if I had tried to hire them myself. By using Ron's service I was able to build our home in five months. And at a savings of $20,000 compared to other homebuilder bids. I highly recommend the services of Caliber Construction and would welcome any questions you might have."
