​

• I want to build a custom home but don't have land or architectural plans yet. How do I start?

  • Building a custom home is an exciting journey, but construction cannot begin or be accurately estimated without two foundational pieces: secured land and a completed set of architectural plans.

  • If you are just starting out, the correct order of steps is:

  • Financing: Secure a pre-approval for a construction loan (unless paying cash).

  • Land: Find and purchase your lot (we can assist with up to 4 basic desktop evaluations to check building feasibility before you buy. Which is a quick look at lot shape, access, and any obvious issues that would prevent construction.) However buying decision should not be based on a desktop review.

  • Design: Work with an architect or drafter to create your blueprint.

  • Once you have your land and your blueprints in hand, that is the exact moment to contact us. We will take your plans, analyze your lot, and provide an accurate structural estimate to bring your home to life.

​

​

• Is it okay to purchase pre-made house plans online?

  • While online plans are tempting, they are generic and do not account for the unique slope, soil, or orientation of your specific lot, nor do they reflect local Georgia building codes.

  • We highly recommend having plans designed to fit your unique terrain and financial goals rather than buying pre-made plans. Our design partners can create a custom home tailored explicitly to your budget and your lot, saving you thousands in unexpected structural modification fees down the road.

​

​

• Do you help with architectural plans and design?

  • Yes. We work hand-in-hand with a trusted network of local architects and drafters who can design and customize architectural plans to bring your exact vision to life.

​

​

• What does it cost to build per square foot?

  • We are asked this a lot, but there is no single, set cost to build per square foot. The actual cost is determined by several critical variables, including your foundation type (slab, basement, or crawlspace), the ease of access to your lot, the complexity of the architectural design, and your choice of structural materials and final finishes. Once we have your architectural plans and know the specific lot you are building on, we can provide you with a preliminary estimated range that is tailored to your project, rather than solely relying on square footage.

​

​

• Do you assist with land evaluation?

  • Yes. We offer up to 4 complimentary desktop land evaluations to help you assess potential lots. For a physical site visit to determine building feasibility, our fee is $375, which is highly recommended before purchasing.

​

​

• Do you work with construction loans?

  • Yes. We frequently work with bank construction loans and are fully prepared to provide the builder credentials, itemized budgets, and documentation your lender requires. We also accept cash contracts and FHA Standard 203K loans.
