Building on a Solid Foundation: Literally from the ground up, ULTRA DESIGN HOMES is committed to quality both aesthetically and structurally. All of our homes will either meet or in most cases surpass all relevant building codes and or standards. First and foremost to determine which foundation design would be best for your particular lot, a soil sample test is preformed followed by a soil compaction test. Many contractors will forego this second test and build on the assumption that the property is stable, we simply refuse to take that risk. Based on the soil test results, our foundations are then individually engineered by our licensed structural civil engineer. In addition to our standard warranty and implied warranty coverage, our foundations also carry a written ten year transferable warranty through the Residential Warranty Corporation (RWC / Home of Texas).
RWC (Home of Texas) Home Owner Warranty Coverage offered through ULTRA DESIGN HOMES:
Residential Warranty Corporation (RWC) has been servicing Texas and the nation since 1981. ULTRA DESIGN HOMES in association with RWC offers a transferable written extended warranty on all homes we build. However, you will probably never need this warranty service due to Ultra's high standards and the RWC's strict membership screening and building inspections process. Only those Builders such as ULTRA DESIGN HOMES who meet acceptable standards regarding technical competence, financial stability and ethical business dealings are able to become members with the RWC. In addition, RWC builders are re-screened annually to ensure their performance remains consistent with the high RWC membership standards. If you buy one of our homes having the RWC warranty coverage, you can be certain that we have made an extra effort to provide you with more than just a handshake or verbal commitment. ULTRA DESIGN HOMES in association with the RWC will be providing a written commitment -- a warranty on your new home lasting up to10 years.
