How Long Does It Take to Build a Custom Home?
Each home is as unique as the family it’s built for, so there isn’t a definitive answer to this question. Timelines vary, but the average custom home takes 9-15 months from creating the design to move-in.

What Should I Know Before Getting Started?
A successful custom home starts with thoughtful planning. Before construction begins, we recommend taking the time to consider your family’s current and future needs, your budget, and how flexible your timeline can be. Important factors that should be taken into consideration include:
Lifestyle: Consider your family’s current needs and how those needs might change in the future. Bedrooms, bathrooms, storage, workspaces, and common areas should all reflect your family’s lifestyle.
Budget: Determine which features and elements are essential and which are optional, so your budget can be focused on what matters most.
Timeline: While we work hard to stay on schedule, some factors can impact the timeline, such as weather, materials, and permitting, so it’s important to have some flexibility.
