Why As-Built Homes is Essential for the Second Homeowner
More than half of the homes in Pitkin County are second homes. While a second home in Aspen is a remarkable investment in both lifestyle and real estate, it brings unique challenges - especially when it comes to building, maintaining, and protecting a homeowner’s property from afar.
Stay Informed, Wherever You Are
Second homeowners can’t always walk the construction site during lunch or drop by after work. That’s where As-Built Homes steps in as the impartial eyes on the ground. Construction projects can shift quickly: deadlines change, compromises are made, and unexpected issues arise. Our high-resolution images objectively document every stage - capturing exactly what’s in front of the lens, without bias or agenda.
Whether the homeowner is in Boca Raton, Beverly Hills, or Dallas, he or she can access a constantly updated online gallery that brings the job site to them. This not only replaces the need for frequent site visits, but also makes it easy to coordinate with your entire team. Need to show your designer the framing behind a wall? With As-Built Homes, everyone is on the same page, reducing costly miscommunications and delays-and maybe saving a trip through ASE in the process!
Long-Term Value Beyond Construction
The benefits of As-Built Homes extend well beyond your Certificate of Occupancy. Mountain homes face unique challenges, including heavy snowfall and rapid temperature swings. If damage occurs while a homeowner is away, a comprehensive visual record of your home’s systems becomes invaluable. Our secure Digital Asset Management (DAM) system ensures your documentation is always accessible, providing transparency, security, and convenience whenever you need it.
Effortless Communication and Peace of Mind
Your digital assets aren’t just for you - they are a valuable resource for your property manager, maintenance crews, and even insurance companies. When repairs are needed, everyone knows exactly what’s behind the walls. And when it’s time to sell, potential buyers gain confidence from seeing detailed records of the home’s construction and maintenance. If the new owner wants to make alterations, they know exactly what the work entails.
Added Value for Short-Term Rentals
If you rent out your home, As-Built Homes can streamline communication with renters by linking photos to manuals or instructions. We can also document the property between tenants, providing a clear record of any wear and tear or larger issues - protecting your investment and simplifying turnover.
In the dynamic second-home market, As-Built Homes delivers the transparency, security, and convenience needed to protect that significant investment.
