What to expect

Built around the
project in front of us

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.

01

One team for the land, plans, and build

A successful custom home starts well before framing. We can evaluate potential land before purchase, work with a lot you already own, and help create or modify a floor plan around the property, budget, and way you want to live. Once the direction is set, we coordinate permits, site preparation, utilities, septic, wells, and construction so the major pieces stay under one point of accountability.

02

Clear communication through construction

Custom homes are priced on a cost-plus basis, giving the project a clear structure as scope and selections develop. A typical home takes about seven months to build, although land conditions, design decisions, permitting, weather, and material availability can affect the schedule. David and Preston keep clients informed throughout the process and address issues as they arise.

03

Protection after handover

New-construction homes include a four-year America’s Preferred Home Warranty, two years of coverage for qualifying construction defects, and an additional RWC warranty with ten-year foundation coverage. Specific coverage, exclusions, and claim requirements are governed by the applicable warranty documents.

Custom Homes FAQ

Useful starting points before we discuss your property and plans.

Yes. We build on customer-owned land and can evaluate the site, access, utilities, septic or sewer needs, and other early considerations before construction begins.

Can you evaluate land before I buy it?

Yes. Involving the builder before purchase can help identify site conditions and development needs that may affect the design, budget, or feasibility of the project.

Do you help with floor plans and permits?

Yes. We help clients create or modify floor plans and coordinate permitting as part of the overall project.

How long does a custom home take to build?

A typical custom home takes about seven months to build. The final schedule depends on the site, plans, permitting, selections, weather, and material availability.

How are custom homes priced?

Fonseca Builders uses a cost-plus pricing model. The project scope, allowances, selections, and fee structure are reviewed with the client before construction moves forward.
