FAQ
Custom Homes questions.
How long does a custom home take to build on Cape Cod?
It depends on size and finishes. Permitting alone can take several weeks to a few months, longer when a lot sits near wetlands or inside a historic district. We give you a written schedule before construction starts.
Can you build from my architect’s drawings?
Yes. We build from your architect’s set, flag anything that will be harder to build than it looks, and build it as drawn.
Will you look at a lot before I buy it?
Yes, and we recommend it. We review the survey, septic options, flood zone and setbacks so you know what the site involves before you commit to the land.
