"We've used K&B several times over the years, and we're so grateful to have found contractors we trust. These guys are honest, communicative, show up when they say they will, and thoughtful. They not only do amazing work, they're just good people. Most recently, they did major repairs on our home after damage from Hurricane Helene. One deck was completely destroyed, the other had extensive damage, the roof needed repairs, and our fence. It was a lot of work. I'll never forget their care and concern, and their meticulous work on our home. We knew we were in good hands during one of the most stressful times of our lives. Thank you, K&B!!"

"My experience with Big Hills Construction has been excellent. Everyone knows that building a home is very complicated and there?s a lot of moving parts. There?s always going to be issues and fixes when you build a new home. Big Hills construction has got five or six homes under construction and the new neighborhood that I live in, but they still have time to get to my punch list and take care of any little issues that pop up. I can?t tell you how nice their crew is. Even though most of them do not speak the language I speak. It?s amazing how easy it is to communicate with them. All in all I give it an A+."

"My wife and I were completely satisfied with the work that was done and also the time period that it took considering the complexity of the job. Daniel was on the job and guiding the workmen in the most efficient use of their time. Since that time, we have had Daniel and his crew come back to do other minor jobs at both of the houses. He has delivered on all of these jobs in a timely manner."

"Loay Jabbar provided the information I needed quickly and clearly. I immediately signed up for full coverages for our two homes because of the discounts offered and because of the quality of service that Loay is saying and promising Choice Home Warranty provides to its customers. I have bad experiences with other home warranty companies so I am hoping I found the best company that would deliver the best service."

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

On average, the cost of a home builder is about $150 per square foot, but that price can range from around $100 to $400 per square foot or more. That puts the typical price range of a standard, 2,000-square-foot house between $200,000 and $800,000. Some factors that affect the price of hiring a home builder include the following:

  • Location of your home and the living cost in the area

  • Type of foundation and framing you choose

  • Quality of the building materials

  • Footprint and layout of the house

  • Number of stories

  • Builder’s experience

Yes, you can finance new construction, though the process often requires a different type of loan than one for an existing property. There are several financing options available:

  • Construction-to-Permanent Loan: This is a common option where a single loan covers the building costs and then converts into a traditional mortgage once construction is complete and you move in.

  • Construction Loan (Stand-Alone): This type of loan provides funding only for the duration of the construction project. Once the house is built, you will need to pay the loan in full, typically by securing a separate, standard mortgage.

  • Builder Financing: Some custom homebuilders offer their own financing options, which may only require a down payment to begin the building process.

  • Bridge Loan: This can be a useful short-term loan to fund your new construction while you are in the process of selling your old home.

  • Home Equity Options: If you are building a second home, you might be able to use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance on your current property.

It's also important to be aware that some lenders may have restrictions on financing for DIY house builds, so be sure to verify that you can secure financing before starting your project.

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.

Framing is often the most expensive phase of building a house because it’s time-consuming and requires a lot of materials. It costs between $20,000 and $50,000 on average, depending on materials and labor costs. Before construction begins, it’s possible that purchasing land is the priciest step in the process. Some plots of land sell for $3,000, while others cost upwards of $150,000.

A contractor can install your shipping container home in as little as 90 days. This is notably quick compared to a traditional home build, which can take more than a year (providing there aren’t permitting or construction delays that make the wait even longer). For the quickest installation, choose a prefab container home.
