subject: Topsider Homes specializes in online designs [print this page] Topsider Homes, which has been shipping prefabricated, custom-designed homes worldwide, specializes in making online designs keeping with the tastes and interests of the customers. Of course it was not always like that. Way back in 1968, when Topsider Homes began operations by building a mountainside house near Boone, North Carolina, it was all conventional. The designing and the execution of the plans all went on in the usual, conventional mode. People had enough time to spare and discussed at their leisure with the designers and others working for the company. The situation was almost the same in the 1970's too. But things started changing in the 1980's. Lifestyles changed and people had not that much time to spare. Everyone was busy and things were beginning to get faster, in everything relating to life. These changes were bound to reflect in the building and construction industry too. When customers desirous of getting things done in a short time seemed to be bent on giving priority to companies who respected them and their time-constraints, the companies too changed their mode of working. Topsider Homes, as a company has always kept abreast of changing times; and hence when life gained in pace, the necessary changes were brought about in the company's style of working. At present, when people prefer to do it all online, remaining in touch through the Internet and phone, the company too provides comprehensive online solutions, right from the planning stage onwards. In the planning stage, the customers get to have a careful look at the various designs provided online by the company and then make their choices based on their tastes and interests. The designs themselves are so varied and flexible that tastes and interests of all kinds of customers are accommodated. Beginning with the selection of the design, Topsider Homes' in-house design and architectural staff works closely with the customers to help their dream homes come true.
