Build Custom — Your Way

That’s why we offer three custom home pathways designed around different levels of involvement, customization, lifestyle needs, and life circumstances.

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.
Financing New Construction Projects
Myth: You Must Own the Lot Before You Build
Many people think they need to purchase land outright before starting construction, but that’s not always the case. In fact, financing the land and the build together can often streamline the process and save money in the long run. Lenders specializing in new construction frequently offer "lot-and-build" loan packages that allow you to finance both in one transaction. This not only simplifies paperwork but also gives you better terms than financing them separately.
Know Before You Buy
Rushing to finance land separately can sometimes backfire. If you secure a land loan before consulting a builder or lender about your construction plans, you may limit your options for combining financing later. Starting with a lender who understands construction and lot purchases ensures you’re set up for success from the beginning.
Flexible Financing Options
There are several pathways to finance your build, depending on your needs and current situation:
New Construction Loans are tailored specifically for building a home. These loans cover both the lot and construction costs, often converting into a traditional mortgage once the build is complete.
Lot and Build Packages
offer a streamlined solution, combining land and construction costs into one loan. This can simplify the process and may provide better terms than financing them separately.
If you already own a home, Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOCs)
allow you to tap into your home’s equity to fund your lot purchase or construction costs. These can often provide competitive rates and added flexibility.
For those looking to secure land first, Land Loans can finance the initial purchase. Later, the land’s value can often serve as equity when transitioning to a construction loan.
Each option has its advantages, and choosing the right one depends on your specific goals and financial situation.
