Answers to common questions about Diamond Homes Construction and our custom home building process.

About Diamond Homes

What areas does Diamond Homes serve?

Diamond Homes is based in Midland and considers projects in Odessa and nearby Permian Basin communities when the location, lot, schedule, and project scope are a good fit.

Yes. Diamond Homes is a family-owned and operated business founded by Elia and Armando Sanchez in Midland in 2003.

How can I contact Diamond Homes?

You can reach Diamond Homes Construction by phone at (432) 279-0342. You can also visit our contact page to send us a message. We welcome the opportunity to discuss your custom home project and answer any questions you may have.

Where can I see examples of your work?

The Projects page lists portfolio homes with the photos and published details available for each property. Use those examples to compare layouts, materials, and exterior styles.

Does Diamond Homes have customer reviews?

Yes. Read selected homeowner reviews on our Testimonials page, with links to Google, Facebook and Yelp for current ratings and reviews.

Custom Homes

What is the difference between custom and semi-custom homes?

A fully custom home is designed from scratch to your specifications: unique floor plan, finishes, and features. Semi-custom homes start with an existing plan that you can modify. We specialize in fully custom homes where every detail reflects your vision.

Do I need to own land before contacting you?

No, you do not need to have land yet. We can help you evaluate lots, understand site conditions, and determine what can be built on different properties. Many clients start the conversation before purchasing land.

Can you build from my own architectural plans?

We can review plans you bring to us and coordinate with your architect or designer to confirm buildability, scope, and local code requirements.

Building Process

How long does it take to build a custom home?

The construction schedule depends on size, complexity, design, permitting, site conditions, selections, and material availability. We can discuss a project-specific timeline once those details are known.

What is included in a construction contract?

Ask what the construction agreement covers, including specifications, material selections, project scope, payment schedules, and warranty information. Those details should be clear before work begins.

Can I make changes during construction?

Yes, changes can often be accommodated depending on the construction phase. Early changes are easier to implement. We will discuss how any changes affect timeline and budget before proceeding.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

We coordinate permitting, inspections, and code-related documentation for the project.

Costs & Pricing

How much does it cost to build a custom home?

Our cost guide publishes January 2026 planning tiers for Midland custom construction. The range is an estimate, not a bid; final cost depends on size, plans, finishes, lot conditions, and scope.

How much does land cost in Midland, TX?

Land prices in Midland vary widely based on location, lot size, and neighborhood. We can help you evaluate lots and understand how land costs factor into your total project budget.

Why is custom more expensive than production homes?

Custom homes use a buyer-specific plan, selections, and scope. That added design and decision work can cost more than a production plan, so compare estimates using the same scope and allowances.

Can you build to my budget?

Share your construction budget early. We can discuss the size, plan, lot conditions, finish level, and scope that fit it; a project estimate still requires those details.

What financing options are available?

Construction-to-permanent financing is one option buyers discuss with lenders. Ask a lender about qualification, draw schedules, interest during construction, and the transition to a permanent loan.

Building in Midland

What Midland neighborhoods do you build in?

The Neighborhoods page lists the Midland subdivisions represented in our portfolio, with links to documented project pages. A past project does not mean a lot is currently available.

Can you help me find a lot in Midland?

We are not a real estate brokerage, but we can discuss lot considerations such as access, utilities, restrictions, and site conditions before you commit to a build.

What is unique about building in West Texas?

West Texas projects can involve heat, wind, dust, variable soils, drainage, and utility access. Ask how those conditions will be evaluated for your parcel and reflected in the plan and estimate.

Do you build in Odessa or other nearby cities?

Yes. Diamond Homes is based in Midland and serves Midland, Odessa, and nearby Permian Basin communities. Project fit depends on location, lot conditions, schedule, and scope, so contact us to discuss your address or land.
