Designed for homeowners wanting a high degree of architectural customization, distinct interior details, and premium building materials. This level emphasizes custom spatial flow, specialized finishes, and high-performing building envelopes.

• Architecture & Layout: Fully customized architectural design tailored specifically to your land’s topography, featuring open-concept layouts, vaulted ceilings, and complex rooflines.

• Framing & Building Envelope: Advanced spray-foam insulation, sound-dampening interior wall framing, high-performance clad-wood or aluminum windows, and 10 ft. ceiling heights.

• Exterior: High-end masonry (full stone, brick, or stucco), real wood or composite exterior accents, and covered outdoor living spaces.

• Interior Finishes: Extensive custom trim, built-in cabinetry, site-finished hardwood flooring, and statement fireplace surrounds.

• Kitchen & Baths: High-end semi-custom or custom cabinetry, premium quartz or quartzite countertops, walk-in tile showers with frameless glass, and professional-style appliances (e.g., GE Café or KitchenAid).

• Construction-to-Permanent Loan (Single-Close): The most popular choice for custom home builds. It provides short-term financing to cover construction draws as work progresses, then automatically converts into a conventional, long-term mortgage once the home is finished. You only apply once and pay closing costs one time.

• Construction-Only Loan (Two-Close): A short-term loan (usually 12–18 months) that covers only the building phase. Once the home is complete, you take out a separate traditional mortgage (“end loan”) to pay off the construction balance.

• Using Your Land Equity: If you already own your lot, its appraised market value can often count directly toward your required loan down payment (which typically ranges from 15% to 25%).
