Spec homes,
built to schedule.
Finished to sell.

There is no single number, because the two largest inputs are outside the building itself: what the lot cost, and what the neighbourhood supports. What we can do on a first call is tell you whether the plan and finish tier you are considering are aligned with recent comparable sales, and give you an itemised estimate for the construction once we have walked the lot.

It depends on size, foundation type and how much site work the lot needs, and we will give you a construction sequence with real durations for your project. We will not put a total on it before we have seen the lot. Municipal review and inspection timelines sit on top of that and are set by the building department, not by us.

CBS exterior walls with a stucco finish, impact-rated windows and doors throughout rather than as an upgrade, right-sized HVAC selected for the Florida cooling and humidity load, and a mid-to-upper-grade finish package — quartz or porcelain worktops, porcelain tile, and fixtures chosen for resale rather than for a specification sheet.

A custom home starts with a family. A spec home starts with the comps. We look at recent sales in the target neighbourhood first and let those set the size, the plan and the finish tier. Over-personalising a spec home is the most common and most expensive mistake — a house built for one imagined buyer sits longer than one built to appeal broadly within its price bracket.

We do. Submission, tracking and any corrections are ours, and where an HOA has architectural review that submission runs in parallel. Review durations are set by each municipality and vary with jurisdiction and workload, so we plan the schedule around them rather than promising a date.

Every required inspection for the trades on your permit, scheduled in sequence so a missed call does not stall the crews behind it — through to the final inspections and Certificate of Occupancy.

Yes — presale is common. Depending on how far along the build is, a buyer can still make some finish selections within the standard package: flooring, cabinet colour, tile. The floor plan and the structural decisions are locked well before that point.

On a spec build, the builder carries the construction loan and the holding costs from groundbreaking to closing — the opposite of a custom project, where the owner usually carries them. That is exactly why schedule discipline matters more here than anywhere else.

Workmanship coverage from us, plus the manufacturers’ own warranties on the products installed. All of it is documented and transferred to the buyer at completion.

Have the lot address or folio number, anything already drawn or surveyed, and the price bracket you are aiming the finished home at. That is enough for a useful first call.

Wind load and flood elevation drive the engineering; humidity and salt drive the material choices; and infill lots often carry an existing structure or an elevation deficit that has to be resolved before the foundation goes in. All of it is normal here and all of it is planned for, but none of it is optional.
