  • Finishing: Interior and exterior finishes, landscaping, and final inspections.

4. How much does it cost to build a custom home?

Costs vary widely based on location, materials, design complexity, and size. It's essential to establish a realistic budget early in the process, considering both construction costs and additional expenses like permits, landscaping, and interior furnishings.

5. Do I need to own land before starting the building process?

Yes, owning a suitable plot of land is a prerequisite for custom home construction. It's advisable to consult with your builder before purchasing land to ensure it's appropriate for your intended design and complies with local zoning regulations.

Property taxes for new homes are calculated based on the assessed value determined by local tax authorities after construction is complete. It's important to factor in these taxes when budgeting for your new home.
