Yes, our Build On Your Land in Winterville process starts once you have closed on your property. In the meantime, we are happy to refer you to local agents to help in your land search. Once you’ve purchased your land, come see us.

No, the base price is fixed cost construction! After we review your site specific requirements, you will be given a fixed cost proposal inclusive of land development, utility infrastructure, permitting, construction, and everything in between. You can take it to the bank… literally. Unlike other builders, you can have confidence in the final cost of your project.

From contract signing to move-in, our process usually takes 6 months. Pre-construction and permitting typically takes 60 days and construction typically takes 120 days.

Our plans have been thoughtfully engineered and drafted to be structurally efficient and functionally suitable for your living enjoyment. These refined plans allow us to build better homes faster and more financially efficient than a traditional custom home builder. Because of that, we do not allow significant structural changes to the floor plans.
