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?

Yes, we can build from plans you bring to us, or we can help you develop plans from scratch. We work with architects and designers to ensure your plans are buildable and meet local codes.

Building Process

How long does it take to build a custom home?

Custom home construction timelines vary based on size, complexity, and design. A typical custom home takes several months to over a year from groundbreaking to move-in. During our initial consultation, we can provide a more specific timeline based on your project.

What is included in a construction contract?

Our construction agreements include detailed specifications, material selections, project scope, payment schedules, and warranty information. We believe in transparency, so you'll understand exactly what's included before we break ground.

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?

Yes, we manage all permitting, inspections, and code compliance. Our team handles the paperwork so you can focus on the exciting parts of building your home.

Costs & Pricing

How much does it cost to build a custom home?

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 are built specifically for you. Unique floor plans, hand-selected materials, and attention to details that production builders can't provide. You're not paying for a model home or marketing. You're paying for craftsmanship and personalization.

Can you build to my budget?

Absolutely. We work with clients across a range of budgets. The key is being upfront about your budget from the start so we can design a home that delivers the most value within your parameters.

What financing options are available?

Most clients use construction-to-permanent loans. We work with local lenders who understand custom home building and can guide you through the financing process.

Building in Midland

What Midland neighborhoods do you build in?

We build throughout Midland County including Grassland Estates, Greathouse, Saddle Club, Fairway Estates, Polo Estates, Green Tree, and surrounding areas. We are familiar with lot availability and building requirements across Midland.

Can you help me find a lot in Midland?

While we are not a real estate brokerage, we can provide guidance on neighborhoods, lot considerations, and what to look for when purchasing land for a custom home. We have built throughout Midland and know the area well.

What is unique about building in West Texas?

West Texas presents specific considerations: the climate demands proper insulation and HVAC sizing, soil conditions vary across the region affecting foundation design, and wind and occasional sandstorms require durable exterior materials. Our experience in this region means we design and build for these conditions.

Do you build in Odessa or other nearby cities?

Our primary focus is Midland, but we consider projects in surrounding areas on a case-by-case basis. Contact us to discuss your location.
