Your budget, up front
Before we build, we make sure we understand what you need and what you want to spend.
How building a custom home goes
- Lot and feasibility: what can be built where, and what utilities and access are needed.
- Design and plans, based on how you live and what you want to spend.
- Permits: plans go to your city or county for review.
- Construction: foundation, framing, the work inside the walls, inspections, then finishes.
- Final walkthrough and move-in.
Before you buy a lot
It’s worth checking zoning, setbacks, access, utilities (water, sewer or septic, power) and the ground itself before you buy. Your city or county planning department can tell you what’s allowed on a parcel.
What affects the cost
- The size and design of the house.
- The lot: slope, soil, access and utilities.
- Materials and finishes.
- Plans, engineering, permits and fees.
After the on-site visit you get a written estimate, so you can see the scope and cost before you decide.

Common questions
What affects the cost of building a custom home?
Mainly size and design, the lot (slope, soil, access, utilities), materials and finishes, and plans, engineering and permit fees. You get a written estimate after we understand what you want to build.
Do I need to own land before I talk to a builder?

Lot and feasibility, design and plans, permit review, construction with inspections along the way, then a final walkthrough and move-in.

It depends on design, permit review time, size, weather and material lead times. We can talk through timing once we know what you want to build.
Can I see homes you’ve built?
See our projects page for recent work, including a new home from framing to finished.
Do you build in any style?
Yes. We design and build custom homes in any architectural style.
