Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to build in Asheville, NC?
A

The cost of building a home depends on various factors, including size, design, materials, and finishes. We uphold the highest quality standards, exceeding code requirements and using only trusted vendors and subcontractors. Your home’s final price is driven by your choices—architectural style, selections, and design features all impact the budget. Smaller homes can still have high costs due to the need for the same major systems as larger homes. We’ll work with you to develop a realistic budget and let you know if your expectations don’t align with your budget early on.

Do you have lots for sale or do I need to buy land?
A

We currently don’t have land for sale, but our in-house Realtor, Lauren Reinhardt, a Residential Broker with Allen Tate/Beverly-Hanks, can help you find the perfect property. Lauren has extensive experience assisting our clients in locating land that suits their needs, and she can guide you through the process of selecting the right lot. We can also provide you with an estimate of the costs to build on the land, helping you plan your budget accordingly.

When considering land in Western North Carolina, keep in mind that many properties may require significant grading or excavation before construction can begin. Additionally, if well and septic systems are needed, those costs will need to be factored into your budget. It’s important to work with a builder who is upfront and realistic about the costs, especially if you’re looking at a lot with a steep slope. We’ll ensure you’re well-informed and ready to make the best decisions for your new home.
