Lowder New Homes - A History of Quality Homebuilding

Building a home requires a lot of time, energy, and attention to detail, but the process begins long before the first hammer is swung or the first hole is dug. At Lowder New Homes, we have a team of professionals who provide high-quality designs and new construction homes for customers throughout Central and East Alabama. Here, we discuss our history as an Alabama new home builder and why you should trust our homes.

Who We Are

Lowder New Homes was founded by Ed Lowder in 1956, making us one of the first new home builders in AL. For nearly 70 years, our goal has remained the same: getting people into homes they’ll love. This has allowed us to form real relationships with those in our communities, helping us build a strong reputation.

We are proud to be part of The Colonial Company, which is one of the most well-respected businesses in the Southeast. Like The Colonial Company, we are a family-owned business. This allows each of our customers to see and feel the personal touch we put into each project. We are also a local company, meaning you can trust we understand the needs of prospective residents in the area. This has led us to become one of the state’s largest homebuilders. Because we’re able to handle so many aspects of a project, you can trust that the experience will go smoothly from start to finish.

Our team maintains the same values that we’ve held since the beginning. It consists of Jimmy Lowder, the Chairman of the Board and President of The Colonial Company, Jimmy Rutland, the Lowder New Homes President, and a trusted group of professionals.

What Makes Us a Great Choice

You don’t stay in the homebuilding business for almost 70 years without doing things right. Our team, from the top down, is dedicated to crafting beautifully designed homes that stand the test of time. We do everything we can to make the homebuying experience as seamless as possible. Some of the advantages we’re happy to offer our customers include:

Quality

We stress quality in everything that we do, from our design concepts to our craftsmanship. We also only use products and materials sourced from some of the leading manufacturers. The result is a durable, well-constructed house that you’ll be glad to call your home. Our commitment to quality has led us to be recognized on the Builder 100 list from Builder magazine, which names the top builders in the country. We are also recognized by National Association of Homebuilders.

Energy Efficiency

Our new construction homes are also better for the environment, as we prioritize energy-efficient processes and materials. This means that we meet and exceed standard building codes to help you save money and reduce energy waste. Between our high-density exterior wall insulation, our Energy Star-qualified heating and cooling systems, and the energy-saving appliances we put into each home, customers will feel good knowing they’re doing their part to help the environment.

Vast Customization Options

When it comes to buying a house, you should be able to find one that has all the features and amenities you prefer. This is one of the main benefits of buying a new home versus one that has been previously owned. Our new builds come in a wide range of styles with a vast selection of floor plan options to choose from. This is great because, while everyone enjoys a home for warmth, shelter, and privacy, we don’t all use our homes the same way. Picking the floor plan that best suits your lifestyle helps ensure you’re as happy with your decision years down the road as you were on the day you moved in. We also offer more customization options than many other builders, allowing you to add the features you really want.

Safety

Homes that look nice and new are great, but if they aren’t built to meet the codes and requirements that the government has set in place, they could quickly become a safety hazard. That’s why our team of highly trained designers and builders takes the time to ensure every aspect of your new home is up to code. After construction is complete, each home undergoes a comprehensive, independent inspection from a third party, giving you peace of mind that everything meets the required safety standards.

Satisfaction

Our dedication to our customers doesn’t stop after you’ve moved in. First, we offer a written warranty that is backed by our full-service Warranty Department. This means that, should an issue arise, we might be the ones who’ll cover the cost to fix it. We also provide a 24-hour response line that our homebuyers can call if they have any questions.

Financial Assistance

Buying a home is exciting, but it is also expensive. Lowder New Homes understands this and has taken steps to help homebuyers with the cost. First, we have a list of our preferred lenders, who all participate in our buyer incentive program. This allows customers to work out a personalized payment plan that is best for them.

We also let homebuyers lock in their interest rates, enabling them to jump on rates when they are low. Additionally, we provide special offers that make our homes even easier to afford. These may provide money toward closing costs, as well as funds that can be used on design upgrades, appliances, and other aspects of your home.
