Reputation: Sabatello has a longstanding history of stability, professionalism, tradition of excellence, and an impeccable reputation, which has been built on three Guiding Principles:
Our Guiding Principles of Quality, Integrity, and Credibility are woven into every fabric of our company. You will experience Integrity from the very beginning at our initial consultation, when we will discuss your goals and the objectives for your project, and you will receive creative thoughtful solutions as it relates to your unique custom home. You will find Credibility in dealing with all of our staff and subcontractors, and you will experience unsurpassed Quality and craftsmanship in every facet of the construction phase. Throughout all phases of the process, you will pleasantly experience our three guiding principles of Quality, Integrity, and Credibility.
Our years of professional experience dedicated to the construction of homes in Palm Beach County, Florida has been proven, trusted, and respected, while upholding the highest levels of uncompromising ethics and values, and delivering superior quality results to our clients.
Experience: For over 30-years, Sabatello has created a strong and dependable history of sound business practices in the community while building over 6,000 homes in Palm Beach County. Our architectural, structural, indoor environmental health, interior design and construction experts have 100’s of years of combined experience that provides our clients with an incredible experience. Our team delivers lasting value through knowledge-guided performance. When considering building that home of your dreams, experience matters!
The Complete Price: Our approach to business is not to be the "least-cost provider". We prefer to be the "greatest value provider". We believe that value is not in the initial price but in the Total price combined with Quality, Service, and Satisfaction.
SABATELLO believes a fair price must be a “complete” price. It is our intention to provide you with a price that covers the entire scope of work envisioned. We know that surprise Change Orders after the initial agreement can sour a relationship and can create a hardship for you. We want Change Orders to be the result of you changing your mind or adding more work as a result of your growing confidence in us. Our experience shows us that our clients understand the value of our “complete” price.
“The bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of a cheap price is forgotten”
Communication and Chemistry: Another important factor in the custom home building process is the ability for you to effectively and efficiently communicate with your contractor. The chemistry between you and the contractor needs to be unified and there is no better time to determine this than at the initial consultation meeting.
“Trust your instincts.”
The process is as much about the chemistry as it is about the “bricks and sticks”. It is of utmost importance that your goals, ideas and objectives for the custom home project be effectively communicated to the contractor in order to achieve a successful end result.
The Proposal: Conventional wisdom is to obtain at least three estimates for any custom home that you are considering. However, in some cases, that may not be necessary. For example, when the contractor comes recommended to you by a trusted source, you have met with that contractor and the chemistry is a match, then trust your instincts, and work forward with that contractor.
Price should never be the sole deciding factor. Many times the lowest price is not the total and complete price. The total and complete price, offered by the most experienced contactor will ultimately provide you with the lowest total cost, with the least amount of “unknown” change order expenses, and the least amount of warranty work once the project is completed.
There are various factors that go into pricing a custom home, so be sure that every estimate you receive has the same exact scope of work. If the estimates are vague and the information is hard to interpret, don’t be afraid to ask the contractor for clarification in writing. If you are unable to obtain, or the contractor is unwilling to provide adequate written clarification to your questions, it may be wise to eliminate that contractor from the list.
Personal Attention: Sabatello is committed to providing dedicated, consistent, and comprehensive personal service and attention to each aspect of the building process from initial consultation through the warranty period post-construction. As a family-owned and operated business, we have been diligent in creating a company of high integrity and regard for customer satisfaction while demonstrating the utmost respect for our customers, their homes, and our product. Our undivided interest in our client’s projects, personal attention to detail and passion for the business is yet another example of what sets us apart from many others in our industry. You have to be passionate about what you do in order to be the very best. We are passionate about what we do!
Communication: Throughout the entire Process, communication is of vital importance to a successful result. One of the most important factors in the experience of the building process is the ability for you to effectively and efficiently communicate with us. You will have a Construction Coordinator and Project Superintendent assigned as your primary point of contacts throughout the Process. This ensures a smooth and open line of communication for you to effectively be in touch with all aspects of your project.
Safety: The safety of your family and our workers is of utmost importance to us during the construction phase of your project. Our workers are respectful of your family and property. We are dedicated to superior quality performance and safe practices. Our staff is Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) trained and adheres to the strictest of safety protocols to ensure that your project is performed in the safest and most secure manner possible.
Creative Thinking and Innovative Design: As a Custom Home Builder, SABATELLO is known for creativity in design and innovation in construction techniques.
Each home and each homeowner is unique from the next, so we approach your project individually. We do not favor or promote any single architectural style, but we do follow basic design principles. The Design/Building concept of custom home building takes the stress and guesswork out of the project and delivers outstanding results.
Customer Service: Sabatello Customer Service is unmatched in our local industry. Our computerized Customer Service department is dedicated to customer satisfaction, response, guidance and assistance for all of our clients. Our Customer Service vehicles and technicians are dispatched to warranty service calls and to assist our clients.
Licensed and Insured, Minimization of Risk: We are General Contractors, licensed by the State of Florida, and carry General Liability, Workman’s Compensation, Auto and Umbrella insurance policies that exceed minimum requirements for our industry. We only employ licensed and fully insured subcontractors, which is a critical issue for the customer. Many contractors are not eligible for insurance themselves due to poor claims history, or weak financial statements, and very few require that their subcontractors carry proper insurance.
SABATELLO is a drug-free workplace, which is just another step that we take to ensure the lease amount of risk to our clients during the home building process.
The State of Florida, Palm Beach County and each individual Municipality requires contractors to be licensed and registered. SABATELLO can supply copies of all current documents when requested.
Full Service and Multiple Services: We offer a wide range of services based upon our three decades of service and experience to the residents of Palm Beach County. Valuable experience that is needed in the Design/Build concept offers our customer a complete design capability, a truly one-stop shopping to accommodate any size custom home project.
Budgeting, Estimating and Pricing: Every step in our budgeting process is designed to help our customers move through the design and build process with as much control and understanding as possible. Surprise costs are rarely appreciated so we do everything we can to avoid them.
SABATELLO’s first step in developing a budget is meeting to have an in-depth conversation about the scope of work, specific needs you wish to incorporate and what budget you may have already established. We will involve our construction experts, a team member and one of our estimators to assist in developing budget information. This collaborative approach allows us to get a tighter handle on the unique issues that we need to take into consideration for your project.
Fixed Construction Price:Once a conceptual architectural drawing is developed, we put together a construction price and a detailed scope of work. During our presentation, you will be thoroughly informed as to what is included and what is NOT included. This would be the time for us to discuss any unknowns that could come up during the project as well so that you can have all the facts before making your decision.What You Get With Sabatello: The construction industry has witnessed many changes over the past few years. And, change brings even more change- in construction technique, technology, building code and laws, insurance regulation, alternative and sustainable materials, energy conservation, storm protection, indoor air quality, moisture, humidity and water intrusion, new lead paint laws, aging-in-place- the list goes on.
