      Custom Home Pricing

      How much does it cost to build a custom home on your lot?

      It depends on your parcel, your plan, and your preferences. At Travars Built Homes, pricing is transparent, builder-led, and tailored to your vision — starting with a detailed turnkey quote that includes typical site work like well, septic, clearing, and more.


      How Do I Get Pricing?

      Have a plan in mind? Send it to us.

      Still exploring? Tell us what you want in your home — and your build budget. We’ll suggest floor plans that can align with your goals.

      Your initial consultation includes in depth information for a complete build package. Your turnkey quote will include the build, typical site work allowances, and custom flexibilities. After a homesite evaluation with the builder, we’ll add site-specific considerations.


      What Makes Travars Built Different?

      • Customizable Floor Plans – Browse our extensive online catalog, bring your own, or describe your wish list. We can customize nearly any plan — with in-house design support.
      • Beyond-Standard Features – Hardwood floors, premium cabinetry, extensive stone surfaces, energy efficiency, and more are already built in — with a “forever home” mentality.
      • Transparent Pricing – Your custom home quote is turnkey, with detailed specifications, generous customization choices, and transparent allowances — to help you make informed decisions.

      What Impacts Custom Build Costs?

      Every custom home is a unique project, shaped by your choices and your land.  Total build costs can be further influenced by:

      • Architectural Design – Porches, rooflines, footprint and layout all play a role in the complexity of your build.
      • Selections & Finishes – The depth of detail in your quote will reflect what’s special about our upscale “standards.” Our design/build capability can further enhance the possibilities — such as expanded outdoor living areas, additional built-ins, or luxury elements.
      • Lot Conditions – Well, septic, slope, tree clearing, and driveway length are just the start of what we take into consideration as we evaluate your homesite together.
      • Permitting & Local Impact Fees – These vary by county and are factored into your site-specific estimate

      You’ll work one-on-one with the builder — for guidance you can trust and decisions you can feel confident about.
