Whether you own your land already or are still weighing a lot, we start by looking at the property — then shape a floor plan that fits it. Plan creation, plan modification, and the build itself stay with one accountable team.
Projects range from focused improvements to multimillion-dollar construction. We begin with the site, scope, rough budget, and timing, then give you a straight answer about fit and next steps.
A plan that looks right on paper can be expensive or impossible on the wrong lot. Slope, access, drainage, utilities, septic or sewer, and setbacks all shape what can be built and what it costs. We evaluate the property first — before land is purchased, if you involve us early enough — so the plan is drawn against real site conditions rather than assumptions.
Some clients arrive with a clear picture, some with a plan from a catalogue or another designer, and some with nothing but a lot and a rough budget. All three are workable. We help create a floor plan from the ground up or adjust an existing one around the property, your priorities, and what the budget will carry.
Because Fonseca Builders handles planning and construction, plan decisions get tested against build reality as they are made rather than after a contract is signed. David and Preston stay involved from the first conversation about the lot through permits, site work, construction, and handover.
Useful starting points before we discuss your property and plans.
Yes. We help clients create a custom floor plan around their lot, budget, and how they want to live, then coordinate permits, site preparation, utilities, and the complete build.
Yes. We regularly adjust existing plans — whether from a catalogue, another designer, or a previous project — so they work with your specific property and budget.
No. We can work from a lot you already own, or evaluate a property you are considering before you buy it. Involving a builder before purchase often identifies site conditions that would change the design, the budget, or whether the lot is worth buying at all.
We look at the property and talk through access, slope, drainage, utilities, septic or sewer needs, setbacks, and what those conditions mean for the kind of home you have in mind. You get a straight answer about fit and what the next step would cost. There is no obligation to build with us.
We work throughout Southern Indiana and the Louisville Metro, including New Albany, Sellersburg, Clarksville, Jeffersonville, Floyds Knobs, Georgetown, and Corydon.
Fonseca Builders uses a cost-plus pricing model. Scope, allowances, selections, and fee structure are reviewed with you before construction moves forward, so the plan and the budget stay connected.
Tell us where the property is and what you are thinking of building. David or Preston will review it and come back with a straight answer about what the site will support — whether or not you end up building with us.
