Trusted advisor

Anthony Almeida

A great reputation isn’t built overnight. Anthony has been building at the Jersey Shore for 20+ years. Many of his trade partners have worked with him for just as long. All of our business comes from clients and their neighbors, or members of the communities in the areas we serve. They all know Anthony personally. He does not hand off the oversight of your build to project managers, designers, or field specialists like many builders do. He remains hands-on from start to finish. High-quality construction is his standard, as are clean and professional job sites, and having respect for the surroundings in which we’re building. When you build a home with Bayfront, you’ll know he doesn’t compromise on standards to make the numbers work. He delivers solid homes that are constructed for longevity.

put your mind at ease & leave the rest to Anthony

As your design comes to life, Anthony simultaneously works to prepare your site for building. He manages your survey, planning, and installation of drainage and septic, clearing, and permits. You’ll benefit from his relationships with the local trades and knowledge of the specific requirements and regulations for your property.

As your selections and specification choices are made, he integrates them into your design and meets with the construction team to review every detail. This ensures that issues are uncovered on paper and fixed during planning—eliminating costly surprises and delays once construction begins. With advice and insight along the way, you can put your mind at ease and have fun, rather than worrying that every choice may have unforeseen consequences.

Final accountability

In the end, one item stays constant – the client, YOU, remains the center of the project. Anthony will be direct in his communications about price, deadlines, workflow, what’s working and what isn’t. He is all about accountability. You will get what you’re expecting and more.

At Bayfront Properties Custom Homes, the journey to your custom home is as extraordinary as the destination. Here, luxury isn't just built; it's lived. If our vision aligns with yours, we invite you to initiate a conversation with us. Your dream home awaits.

FAQ

Ask Anthony

  • If you haven’t already purchased a lot, get in touch with us. We have found that the best results come from partnering with realtors we TRUST, along with us before you start looking for land. The right team will ensure that the land you choose is suitable for the type of home you want to build. Many of our customers however, already have land or own a home they need to demo first. We will meet you at your site to review your plans and help you design what’s possible.

  • We are building your home, so we always welcome you to come stop by and view the progress. We will schedule regular checkpoints and whole house walk throughs with you, your designer and any tradespeople necessary to make decisions throughout the process.

To make the process easier, we will be communicating with you & your designer constantly regarding when there are selection deadlines so you can stay organized and stress-free.

  • When you’re starting a custom home project you want to get the most value for your money. A cost-plus estimate may provide an attractive number, but there is no incentive for the builder to ensure that cost is what you pay. As you make your selections and design your plan, costs can quickly inflate to far more than your target budget. Some custom builders charge for all of those changes! At Bayfront, we don’t work that way. Our fee is a fixed cost. You control your selections and those costs may go up or down. With multiple budget updates throughout the design process and a guaranteed fixed cost management fee, you’re in the driver’s seat. We hope that gives you peace of mind and creates a drama free custom home.

  • Before we do anything, we send your entire set of approved plans and specifications out to all of our preferred contractors in a rigorous bidding process. The trade contractors respond, we review each and every proposal and your construction budget is created. We provide you estimates based on years of experience building homes with different finishes so you have a baseline to work with. As you make actual selections and we order product, there shouldn’t be any surprises as you will receiving cost updates throughout the design phase of your project. You manage 100% the cost of your selections. We introduce you to industry professionals we know and trust to give you the best products at fair prices and the entire process is completely transparent to you.

  • On average, projects take approximately 12-14 months to complete. Of course, each project is unique, and the timing of your individual project will be dependent on factors like: footprint, construction start date (weather/seasonal factors), township guideline, zoning approval & variance needs.

  • We apply for all necessary permits required to complete your project. This process is critical to ensure no delays or unforeseen complications with local regulations. We know township ordinances and take the time to ensure that our drawings and paperwork are complete and accurate by the time we turn them in to the township. We have long standing relationships. We have worked hard to earn the trust of local townships and they know that they can count on us to know their requirements and meet/exceed their regulations.

  • While waiting for approval of permits, you use this time to make selections of items such as roofing colors, flooring, paint colors, etc. – which allows us to keep the overall construction process moving forward upon approval of the necessary permits.

  • Post Construction: While we hope that you are enjoying the quality of your new home, we understand that minor items arise or you just have questions about how your home functions. When you need us most, we are an email or phone call away. You will have my personal cell phone number. Your question will never go unanswered.
