How long does it take to build a custom home?

The timeline for a custom home depends on the size, scope, and complexity of the project. On average, a full custom home build takes approximately 8–10 months from the time we break ground. We’ll provide you with a project schedule and keep you updated on progress every step of the way.

How long does it take to build a custom home? Do you handle all permits and zoning requirements?

Yes. Permitting and zoning requirements vary by county and municipality, but rest assured—we handle the entire permitting process for you. Whether your project is in Iredell, Lincoln, Rowan, or Catawba County, we’ll work with local officials to obtain all necessary permits and ensure everything is built up to code.

How do you handle budgeting and financing?

We work directly with you and your financial institution of choice to help fund your project. We’ve partnered with several local banks and are happy to coordinate with your lender. Throughout the build, we’ll request draws based on the project timeline and keep you fully informed on your budget status, costs, and any changes along the way.

What common issues might delay the project?

Weather is one of the most common external factors that can cause delays—especially for outdoor work. However, we stay on top of our scheduling by maintaining close communication with our subcontractors and vendors, adjusting timelines proactively to keep your build moving forward.

What happens if there are supply chain issues or material shortages?

We work with a wide network of trusted vendors, which gives us flexibility when it comes to sourcing materials. If one vendor is unable to deliver on time, we have backup suppliers ready to step in so we can avoid unnecessary delays and keep the project on track.

Can I make changes during the build?

Absolutely. We understand that sometimes your vision evolves as the project progresses. While we encourage finalizing your design before construction begins, we’re flexible and happy to accommodate changes where possible. We’ll walk you through the potential impact on cost and timeline before proceeding with any revisions.
