Frequently Asked Questions

The cost to build a custom home in Texas varies greatly depending on size, complexity and finishes. We are often asked, ‘What is the cost per square foot to build a custom home’? The majority of our new home builds will range between $180 – $220 per square foot, not including land. It is important to clarify what is included in the cost to build a custom home. Is landscaping included? Is water, electricity, and septic included? How far off the road will the home be set back? Factors like these, along with unknown site conditions can all make a significant impact on the total cost to build.
Building timelines vary depending on site conditions, weather, and the complexity and size of the project. Most of our homes are completed within 6 – 9 months after the ground breaking. The timeline for larger, more complex projects can extend beyond this.
Yes. You should always have a clear understanding of the cost to build on any piece of land before purchasing the land. The site conditions and availability of utilities can play a significant role in the cost to build your home on any given property.
Unfortunately, no. Due to licensing and permit requirements, schedule implications, warranty, and liability concerns, we do not allow homeowners to perform work on their home. Trust us, we will make sure it’s done right, on time, and on budget. You can spend time with your family and enjoy the process without getting your hands dirty!
Absolutely! Your home is covered for a full 12 month material and worksmanship warranty. We take a proactive approach to addressing any items that may need to be addressed after you move in. We schedule a 30 day post move in walk through as well as an 11 month inspection to ensure that your home is performing the way it was intended to.

If you choose to finance your project, there may be up to 3 different loans involved in building a custom home:

  • Land Purchase Financing
  • Construction Financing
  • Permanent Financing

There are also loan programs that combine your construction loan and permanent loan into one process. We highly recommend that you consider a “construction to permanent” financing option.

The benefit of using a construction to permanent loan is that there is only one application, one set of closing costs, and one appraisal. Also, your interest rate is set when you close on the construction loan, which means that you eliminate the risk of rates increasing during construction.

Lastly, when doing a construction to permanent loan, the appraisal is completed pre-construction, which means that you don’t have the risk of the home not appraising after construction is complete.

Yes, all of our projects outside of our “ShowCaseHomes” are customer financed. We will help guide you to great local lenders who can make the financing of your new custom home simple and easy. We will handle all the financial administration and accounting for your project and work directly with your bank to request project draws on a monthly basis, with your approval.

Our Founder, David Dickens has been building in the DFW and Colorado Springs markets since 2014. He has collectively built and managed a team to construct over 700+ homes.

David went above and beyond during this journey. We had no idea of the experience we would be getting. He blew our minds! I’m not sure how that guy can be smiling all the time when he is meeting crazy deadlines, making schedules, and meeting our demands. Seriously, David is not just good, he is the best. If I were to build a home again I would pay thousands more for the home if I had David as my builder. He is that valuable!
