The home-building process typically follows these key steps: Planning, Design, Permits, Construction, Move-In. Each phase is important in bringing your dream home to life. For a more detailed breakdown of each step, check out our full guide here: Home Building Process & Timeline

The cost of building a custom home can widely vary. There are three main factors to consider:

1. The House: The design, size, and finishes you select will influence the cost.
2. The Land: The price of the property itself.
3. Homesite Allowances: The expenses required to prepare the land and connect the home to utilities.

Because every home and property is unique, we work with you to estimate these costs upfront. If you choose to finance your home and land together, we can also help you bundle these expenses into one loan.

We partner with WesBanco to help you explore financing options tailored to your needs. One popular option is a construction loan, which works a bit differently than a traditional mortgage.

With a construction loan, you pay interest only on the amount that has been drawn to cover construction costs — meaning your payments start lower and gradually increase as your home progresses. Once construction is complete, the loan typically converts into a traditional mortgage, covering the full cost of your completed home.

Since every financial situation is unique, we’ll work closely with you and your lender to find the best financing solution for your custom home.

On average, building a custom home takes about 10 to 12 months from start to finish. This timeline can vary based on the size and complexity of the home, weather conditions, and the speed of approvals and permits.

Absolutely! As a custom on-your-lot builder, this is our specialty. Before purchasing land, there are a few important things to consider:

• Check for any deed restrictions that could affect your build.
• Review easements that may limit where you can build on the property.
• Consider having the land surveyed, especially if boundaries are unclear.
• Find out what utilities are available and how far they may need to be extended to your home.
• Confirm whether the property is located in a floodplain, as this could impact construction and insurance costs.

We’re happy to guide you through this process to ensure your land is ready for your dream home.
