Their hands on management style insures their team will build a home that fits your family's needs exactly. They will create YOUR dream home.
Safety
Holigan routinely uses 2x6 studs for the walls in its homes instead of the standard 2x4s used by most builders in the under $500,000 price range. In addition, the builder uses half inch sheathing instead of paper thin sheathing for its exterior walls.
Moreover, Holigan uses hurricane straps, which attach the roof to the exterior walls. Engineers, after examining the rubble of Hurricane Andrew, believe most of those homes would have been able to withstand the storm if they had had hurricane straps. Holigan is the only builder of the 650 home builders in the Dallas region in this price range installing hurricane straps.
These extra safety features are important to the Holigans, who believe safety is paramount to today's buyers.
Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is a hot button at Holigan Homes. The Holigans, believing homeowners are tired of paying high utility bills, use R-19 insulation for walls and R-38 insulation for ceilings in all its homes - materials that are common in homes with $1 million price tag. All windows are double pane insulated glass. So are the glass doors on the fireplace. Holigan uses 12.0 SEER rated heat pumps.
These materials translate into significant savings for Holigan buyers - between $30 and $80 per month depending on the size of the home. They also provide better noise protection.
