Q: How high can you build?
A: How high can we go? The long answer: It depends on a variety of factors such as the layout and design of your home. The short answer: It’s based on the engineering.
Q: Can I make customizations to my home?
You can make whatever changes you desire. There are no rules.
We put you with an architect that will determine a plan that fits your lifestyle, budget, deed restriction, lot size, etc. We will help you create a custom floor plan that is current, new, attractive and consistent with your personal style. Your floor plan can then be applied to any exterior styling, from traditional to modern and everything in-between. And unlike other custom home builders, the cost of your home will not vary — your home will stay at a static price of $179/square foot.
