FAQs

 

What is your square foot price to build?

All homes are unique and are a sum of their various parts and individual finishes.  Homes of an identical square footage can vary greatly in price depending upon a number of factors such as:  interior finishes, land development cost, floor plan design and a number of other factors.  Consequently, we do not list a standard square foot price for our homes.  We can however provide a general “range” as to home pricing per square foot depending upon a client’s personal wishes.

How long does it take to build a new home?

The time required to build a new home can vary based upon a number of factors.  Size of a home, weather and site conditions as well as scheduling all are determining factors in the overall time it takes to bring a new home from a vacant piece of land to full completion.  However, most new homes can be built in 5 to 12 months.
