FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to own a lot before we schedule a consultation?
Not necessarily. If you’re still shopping for land, consulting with us early can actually help you evaluate site conditions and avoid lots with hidden prep costs.
Do I need to have architectural plans first?
No, you don’t need plans to get started. We can work with you from a blank slate to create a custom design, or we can build from architectural plans you already have.
How does pricing work, and what are the typical ranges?
Custom homes in Central Florida typically range from $200 to $400+ per square foot, depending on site conditions, design complexity, and finishes. We provide a detailed, line-item estimate before we break ground so there is zero guesswork.
How long does a custom build take?
A typical custom build takes 10 to 16 months from our first design meeting to move-in day (2 to 4 months for design and permitting, and 8 to 12 months for construction). We’ll provide a specific timeline during your consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
We offer a turnkey approach. We handle everything from design and local permitting to expert construction and the final walkthrough. You get dedicated project management without having to juggle multiple vendors.
We start with a transparent, fixed scope of work. If anything changes during the build—like a material upgrade you request—we communicate the cost immediately. You must give written approval before we move forward, meaning zero surprise invoices.
We provide proactive updates, photos, and progress notes throughout your build. Our standard is simple: we call you with an update before you ever have to call us.
We build in Clermont, FL, and nearby Central Florida communities, including Groveland, Minneola, Winter Garden, Windermere, Mascotte, and greater Lake County.
