Custom home construction typically takes 8-12 months from groundbreaking to move-in, depending on your home's size, complexity, and selected finishes.

• Design & Planning: 2-4 months for plans, permits, and selections
• Construction Phase: 6-8 months from foundation to finishes
• Final Walkthrough: 2-3 weeks for completion details

We provide weekly updates through our JobTread client portal so you're always informed about progress.

No, you don't need to own land first. We help clients find perfect building sites and guide you through the entire land acquisition process.

• Site Selection: Identifying lots that match your budget and vision
• Due Diligence: Soil testing, surveys, and feasibility assessments
• Zoning Research: Ensuring your design is permitted
• Local Connections: Trusted real estate professional relationships

If you already have land, we conduct comprehensive site evaluations to optimize your home's placement and design.

Our comprehensive custom home building service covers every aspect from initial concept to final walkthrough:

• Design Consultation: Collaborative planning and architectural coordination
• Preconstruction Services: Detailed estimating and timeline development
• Complete Construction: Foundation through final finishes with quality materials
• Project Communication: Weekly updates via JobTread client portal
• Permit Management: Complete handling of permits and inspections

Limited changes are possible during construction, but we strongly recommend finalizing all decisions during our design phase to avoid delays and additional costs.

Our process minimizes change orders through detailed design reviews, dedicated material selection sessions, and clear allowance planning for cabinetry, flooring, lighting, and fixtures.

When changes are necessary, we provide complete transparency on cost impacts and timeline adjustments before proceeding.

We proudly serve homeowners throughout the greater Fredericksburg region and surrounding counties:

Custom home construction requires specialized financing different from traditional mortgages. We work with several local lenders experienced in construction-to-permanent loans.

• Construction-to-Permanent Loans: Single closing that converts to permanent mortgage
• Traditional Construction Loans: Short-term financing during build phase
• Cash Construction: Pay during construction, then obtain permanent financing

Our preconstruction agreement process helps lenders understand exactly what they're financing.

As a family-owned boutique builder, we offer personalized attention and craftsmanship that volume builders simply can't match:

• Award-Winning Craftsmanship: Recognition from FABA

• Superior Communication: Weekly updates via JobTread client portal
• Local Expertise: Deep knowledge of Fredericksburg-area building requirements
• Versatile Capabilities: From modern custom builds to historic renovations

We believe true homes don't grow overnight - they're crafted with intention, quality materials, and attention to how you actually live.
