We currently have a build time of 365 days from receipt of county permits. It typically takes about 2-3 weeks for Onslow county permits and 30 days approximately in Pender county.

Please keep in mind that if you are financing your build project to add 45 days for your construction loan closing.

We do offer spec homes where we own the land and build the home and you buy it directly from us once it has been completed. The second option is that you can buy the land or contract land for sale and obtain a construction loan to build on that lot.

You do not need to own the land out right in order to build with a construction loan. It is very common to purchase a lot under contract while you are working with us to build. Contact our new homes consultant, Kristen Downing at 910-650-6174 or our preferred construction lender Jordan Warren at Intercoastal Mortgage at 910-591-6157 for more details !

Yes, we are a full-scale custom build which allows you to make modifications to the floorplans, or create an entirely new floorplan without our design team.

We do not operate on a standard price per square foot because we are a custom builder. Our price per square foot depends on the size of the home and the custom features our clients request in addition to neighbor ARC requirements.

But where do you start? Let us handle your new home build and provide a turnkey product without having to hire multiple contractors, worry about site planning, or do any of the construction yourself. We take care of all the technical details such as site planning, permits, clearing, and labor, so you can focus on the fun part—designing your home.

We offer the best in-house 1 Year Builder Warranty with a 10 year structure warranty.
