Build your custom home from
$250/sqft —
your land or ours.

It means the construction cost starts at $250 per square foot for a Level 1 Custom Build. This covers the physical build — foundation, framing, MEP, finishes, and everything needed to complete the home. Land, permits, architectural plans, and site work are separate costs that vary by project and location.

Because they vary enormously. A lot in Folsom might cost $150K. The same size lot in Granite Bay can be $800K or more. Permits in El Dorado County can exceed $100K depending on the scope. Separating these costs gives you an honest picture of what construction itself costs — and lets us quote your specific project accurately.

Level 1 builds typically take 12–15 months. Premium builds run 14–18 months. Estate-level projects take 18–24 months. The permitting phase alone — before any ground is broken — typically takes 3–6 months in the Sacramento area. We account for this in your project timeline from day one.

No. We work three ways — you bring the land, we help you find land, or you choose from our ready-to-build projects where plans and permits are already approved. Many of our clients come to us before they have a lot. The earlier you involve us, the more we can help you avoid costly mistakes in site selection.

Our primary market is the Sacramento area — Granite Bay, El Dorado Hills, Folsom, Loomis, Roseville, Rocklin, and Lincoln. We have also completed projects in Texas and Illinois. Contact us to discuss your specific location.

We handle permitting as part of the build process. We manage Title 24 energy compliance, CalGreen, city and county plan checks, and all inspections. You don't need to hire a separate permit expediter — we take care of it.

Level 1 (Custom Build from $250/sqft) uses quality materials and standard finishes — well-built, code-compliant, energy efficient. Level 2 (Premium Build from $400/sqft) adds architect coordination, premium materials, custom millwork, and smart home systems. Level 3 (Estate Build from $600/sqft) uses imported and bespoke materials, full automation, top-tier systems, and includes guest house and ADU. The structure and process are the same across all three — the difference is materials, systems, and finish level.

Yes — but we do everything possible to minimize change orders before breaking ground. During the Specifications phase (step 4 of our process), we document every material, finish, and system choice in writing. Changes after construction starts are possible but will affect both cost and timeline.
