A house built from the ground up on a lot you own, with a builder matched to the scale of that project.
Building a custom home is where the design-then-bid versus design-build question matters most. Design-then-bid means finishing a complete design before pricing it with builders, which gives you the most control over the design but means the final cost is a surprise until bidding happens. Design-build means the builder is involved from early design, which usually gives you a more realistic running cost estimate as decisions are made but means you're committed to that builder earlier in the process.
Neither approach is wrong, and which one suits you depends on how much you value cost certainty early versus design flexibility early. What we do is make sure you understand the tradeoff before you pick, and match you with a builder whose typical project size and process fits what you're planning to build, rather than one who mostly does additions taking on something much larger.
Describe the project and we'll match you with a builder who works your city's process and your project's scale.
