FAQs

Below are a few of the most frequently asked questions we get when building a custom home.

How long does it take to build a custom home?

The timeline varies based on the size, foundation type, complexity, and scope of customization of your home. On average, most custom homes take 8-12 months from design approval to completion.

What is the cost of building a custom home?

Costs depend on factors like square footage, design complexity, materials, and finishes. We will provide a detailed estimate after your initial consultation to ensure transparency. For more about pricing, see our “Price Per Square Foot” section under the Our Services.

Do you help with lot selection?

Yes! If you do not already have your own lot, we can assist clients in finding the perfect lot and can handle the process of zoning, planning, permitting, and site preparation requirements.

Can I make changes during construction?

Absolutely! We understand that ideas evolve, especially as the home progresses. We’ll work with you to accommodate changes, though adjustments may affect the timeline and budget.

Do you offer design services or work with architects?

We collaborate with trusted drafters and architects to bring your vision to life.  We will be with you during the entire process.  Even if you already have your own plans, we will perform a comprehensive plan review to make sure the proper expectations are set.
