🏗️ Plan This Winter, Build This Spring: Why Now Is the Time to Start Your Home Project

As the weather cools down across Northeast Iowa, most people start thinking about winter prep — not construction. But here’s the thing: winter is actually the best time to start planning your new home build or addition.

At Knights Construction Co., Inc., we use this time of year to help homeowners design, plan, and prepare for their upcoming projects. By the time spring rolls around, our clients are ready to break ground — while everyone else is just getting started.

❄️ 1. Planning in Winter = Priority in Spring

Construction schedules fill up fast once the snow melts. By starting now, you’ll:

• ✅ Secure your spot on our spring or early-summer build schedule.

• ✅ Have time to finalize your layout, budget, and design preferences.

• ✅ Get smoother project timelines — no rush, no surprises.

Planning ahead means you’ll be first in line when the weather breaks.

🧱 2. Additions and Expansions: Grow Your Home Without Moving

If you’ve outgrown your space but love your neighborhood, an addition might be the perfect answer. Whether it’s a new garage, master suite, or second-story expansion, our team designs additions that look and feel like part of your home — not an afterthought.

And if you’ve been dreaming of more outdoor space, this is also the ideal time to plan deck and porch additions so they’re ready to enjoy by summer.

🏡 3. Thinking About Building New? Consider ICF Construction

When it comes to new homes, more and more families are choosing ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) builds for durability and energy savings.

Here’s why:

• 🧱 Strength: ICF walls are made of reinforced concrete, built to withstand Midwest weather.

• ❄️ Efficiency: The built-in insulation helps lower heating costs in winter and cooling costs in summer.

• 🔇 Comfort: ICF homes are quieter and hold temperature better — meaning fewer drafts and less outside noise.

Knights Construction is proud to offer ICF home construction for families who want comfort, strength, and long-term value.
