FAQ Friday 🏡

“What costs more: a rambler or a two-story?”

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer in custom home building, but in many cases, ramblers cost more per square foot to build.

Why?
Because they typically require:
✔️ A larger foundation
✔️ More concrete
✔️ More roof area
✔️ A larger footprint overall

Two-story homes can often be more cost efficient per square foot because they stack living space vertically instead of spreading it out horizontally.

That said — every lot, floor plan, finish package, and design choice impacts the final budget. That’s why we build budgets around your home instead of relying on generic square foot pricing.

Bold. Dramatic. Unapologetically custom. 🖤

Just completed in Corcoran, this nearly 9,000 finished square foot home was designed to make a statement — from the striking black-and-white palette to the soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and custom built-ins throughout.

Features include:
▪️ 8,977 finished sq ft
▪️ 5 bedrooms
▪️ 7 bathrooms
▪️ 3 office spaces
▪️ Sport court
▪️ Exercise room + sauna
▪️ 5-car garage (4 front load + 1 tucked side load stall)
▪️ Expansive indoor/outdoor entertaining spaces

This home isn’t trying to blend in — and that’s exactly what makes it unforgettable.

Built for Life.

FAQ Friday 🏡

“What’s your average cost per square foot?”

This is one of the most common questions we get — and honestly, it’s also one of the hardest to answer accurately for a fully custom home.

Not all square footage costs the same to build.

A slab-on-grade home, a rambler, and a two-story with an unfinished basement can all have completely different costs per square foot. Add in differences in lots, window packages, cabinetry, ceiling details, kitchens, bathrooms, site work, and finish selections, and the range can vary significantly.

That’s why we prefer to start with:
✔️ Your lot
✔️ Your floor plan goals
✔️ Your style/preferences
✔️ Your overall investment range

From there, we can help build a realistic budget that’s tailored specifically to your home — not just a generic square foot number.

Our next projects to update are these two beautiful homes located in Independence and Rogers!

Both homes are really starting to take shape as we wrap up framing and move into electrical and plumbing rough-ins.

Fun fact about these two projects… both will feature some incredible extended living spaces. One home includes a fully finished garage space that is designed as a true extension of the home (complete with AC)! The other will soon be starting on an amazing pool house.

We are definitely overdue for a project update… so today we’re sharing the Corcoran homes!
