A letter from The Builder's Wife

Hello There,

If you’ve found yourself on our Landmark Building website, chances are you’re considering a new home, a custom garage, or maybe even a unique project you’ve been dreaming about. Whatever brings you here, let me say—welcome! My name is Cassie, also known as The Builder’s Wife, and I’m excited to personally introduce you to our team and the people who make Landmark what it is.

We’re a family-run company, and that means when you work with us, you’re not just a transaction—you’re part of our family. Let me share a bit about the wonderful folks you’ll get to know when you build with Landmark.

Meet Mark Higgins—Our Builder and My Husband

Mark is not one to sing his own praises, so I’ll happily do it for him. With over 35 years of experience in building homes, garages, and more, Mark has been honing his craft since he was a kid. Building and creating is in his DNA. Whether he’s solving complex design problems or ensuring the work gets done right, Mark’s commitment to excellence is unmatched.

But what really sets Mark apart isn’t just his talent—it’s his character. He’s a man who genuinely cares about doing the right thing every single time. His no-quit attitude and focus on making sure our clients are taken care of is what makes him not just a great builder, but a great person. (And yes, his humor is… unique. It’ll either leave you laughing uncontrollably or questioning why you’re laughing—but either way, it’s unforgettable!)

Rob Compton—Mark’s Right-Hand Man

Rob is Mark’s longtime friend and partner in construction for over 35 years. Together, they’ve tackled just about every challenge the industry can throw at them.

FAQs

Your Building Questions, Answered Expertly Here.

What is the average timeline for building a new construction home?

The timeline for building a new home can vary widely based on factors like the complexity of the design, weather conditions, permitting processes, and material availability. On average, a custom home build typically takes 6-12 months from the time permits are approved, though larger or highly detailed projects may take longer. At Landmark, we prioritize clear communication and realistic timelines. By limiting the number of projects we take on, we ensure your build receives the focus and attention it deserves. From the initial design phase to the final walkthrough, we keep you informed at every step so you always know what to expect.

What should I consider when choosing a builder for my custom home?

Look for experience, transparency, and a collaborative process. A good builder should prioritize your vision, work within your budget, and handle challenges proactively.

Can I customize the design of my new home?

Absolutely! We specialize in creating fully customized homes, working with you to tailor every detail to fit your style, needs, and budget.

What is included in the cost of building a new home?

Building costs typically include materials, labor, permits, site preparation, and finishes, but it's crucial to understand what is not included in some builder quotes. Often, additional costs for hooking up utilities, sewer, water, and gas are not factored into the initial price you’re given. These essential expenses can quickly escalate and disrupt your budget if not anticipated. At Landmark, we believe in transparency. That's why we recommend taking our Custom Home Build Master Class to thoroughly explore all cost considerations. It’s designed to help you navigate these unknowns and ensure your build stays on track and within budget. Know before you build!

Do I need to own land before starting the construction process?

While owning land beforehand is an option, it’s not always necessary or the best first step. Many builders, including Landmark, can help guide you through the entire process, from selecting the right plot to finalizing your dream home design.When the builder is involved early on, the entire project often comes together more seamlessly. We can assist with assessing the land for build readiness, zoning considerations, and even budgeting for things like utilities and site preparation. By collaborating from the start, you can avoid common pitfalls and ensure every step aligns with your vision. If you're exploring your options, reach out to Landmark to discuss how we can help guide you from land to keys!

How do changes work during a project?

Changes during a project, often called "change orders," can be a source of stress and added cost with many builders. Some builders have rigid processes that make adjustments difficult or expensive, which can leave homeowners feeling stuck with decisions they made early on. At Landmark, we’ve designed our process to be highly collaborative to ensure your home truly reflects your vision—not just what you thought you wanted at the start. We understand that seeing your home take shape might inspire new ideas, and we work closely with you to adapt as necessary. Our flexible approach keeps you in control while managing changes efficiently and thoughtfully, so your dream home comes to life exactly as you envisioned.
