"Brent and his team did all of the finish work on our high end custom build in Sioux Falls. Brent did great work and his team carried themselves with professionalism. He did everything from custom walls, custom shelving, cabinets, doors, trim work, custom beams, tray ceilings, etc. The few changes on our end we asked for he was quick and accommodating to make it exactly how we wanted it. He communicated very well and did the job in a timely manner! Highly recommended."

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Construction typically takes 3-6 months, including site preparation and assembly.

The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a homebuilding budget and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

Buying a house is easier than building one from scratch. Buying an existing home is almost always faster, even if you need to make renovations once you move in. When you hire the right team to build a home, they will simplify the design and build phases so that there is little guesswork throughout the process, but building new construction will almost always take longer than buying an existing home.

It’s typically more cost-effective to move a building along with its accessories than to demolish and rebuild it from scratch. However, that’s only if you can move the accessories without damaging them. However, if you plan to demolish the accessories anyway, it is advisable to do so before the move to save costs.
