Custom home builder for Seattle and the Eastside
Most people who call us about a custom home are worried about two things: the budget growing after they sign, and a schedule that keeps sliding. We price the house once the drawings are done, put the schedule in the contract, and give you one person who answers for both.
Who this is for
- Families relocating to the Eastside who want to build rather than compromise
- Downsizers replacing a large house with one that fits how they live now
- Multigenerational households who need two kitchens or a separate suite
- Owners of a teardown lot in Seattle, Kirkland or Bellevue
What sets the price
The contract lists every line item and allowance. These are the things that move it:
- Size and number of storeys
- Site work: slope, soil, trees, access for equipment
- Foundation type and drainage
- Window package, exterior cladding and roof
- Kitchen, bath and finish selections
Starting price for this service (slot, set by the owner). See plans and pricing.
How it goes
Feasibility
We look at the lot, the parcel records and what the rules allow, then give you a budget range in writing.
Design
From our plan set or drawn for you, with selections made before pricing so the price means something.
Fixed-price contract
Line items, allowances and the schedule, in one document you can read in an evening.
Build and warranty
One site lead, photos every week, a final walk-through and a one-year check-in.
Questions
What do custom homes cost with you?
Typical custom homes start at a price the owner sets here (slot). The feasibility call gives you a range for your lot before you pay for drawings.
Can you build from my architect's plans?
Yes. We price from their drawings, give feedback on cost during design, and build what they drew.
Do you buy land?
No. We help you look at a lot before you buy it so you know what it can hold and what site work it needs.
Permit rules change. For Seattle, see SDCI's ADU guide.
