812-989-4814Building a custom home is an exciting journey. We guide you through each step of planning, budgeting, and construction with clear communication and direct involvement at every step.
Before You Build
Whether you already own land and have completed blueprints or are just beginning to explore the possibilities, we're here to help.
The right property is the foundation of a successful build. If you're still searching for land, we can connect you with local real estate professionals and help evaluate potential building sites. From grading and driveway access to utilities and site preparation, we'll help you understand factors that could impact your plans and overall budget.
Not sure where to begin with blueprints or financing? We can connect you with experienced lenders and drafting professionals to help move your project forward. Throughout the planning process, we provide practical construction insight to help align your home's design, features, and budget before construction begins.
Planning & Budgeting
We carefully review your plans to identify cost savings, improve functionality, and address important construction considerations. From mechanical equipment locations and driveway access to site conditions and building placement, we identify any potential adjustments before finalizing the plans for bidding.
We work with you to outline the materials, features, and finishes that will be included in your home. These specifications establish a consistent scope for subcontractor pricing and help ensure your preliminary budget reflects your expectations, priorities, and desired level of finishes.
With completed plans and established specifications, we begin gathering detailed bids from our subcontractors and suppliers. We evaluate construction costs, account for applicable engineering and project requirements, and prepare a comprehensive budget for your review. This process typically takes approximately 3–4 weeks.
Once your budget is prepared, we'll review the details together, discuss potential adjustments, and make revisions as needed to align the project with your goals. When you're comfortable with the scope and pricing, we'll prepare the construction agreement and coordinate the necessary steps before construction begins.
After the construction agreement is finalized, we'll guide you through selecting the materials and finishes that make your home uniquely yours. We'll connect you with trusted suppliers, explain the allowances included in your budget, and keep you informed of any pricing adjustments resulting from your selections.
Build Costs
At Isaac Construction, custom homes with entry-level custom finishes currently start around $180 per square foot of finished living space. This provides a general starting point for construction costs and does not include land, site preparation, utilities, driveways, or other property-specific expenses.
Every home is unique, and actual construction costs depend on the size and complexity of the design, architectural features, material selections, finishes, and site conditions.
Square-foot pricing is intended as an early planning guide, not a formal estimate or guaranteed price. Once your plans and project specifications are established, we develop a detailed, project-specific construction budget based on your home's requirements.
Construction
STEP 01
We coordinate the permitting process, required inspections, and site preparation to get your project ready for construction. From excavation and utilities to driveway access and site logistics, we oversee the details necessary to move your project forward.
STEP 02
We oversee day-to-day construction, coordinate skilled subcontractors, manage scheduling, and monitor project costs and progress. With direct access to Cody throughout the build, you'll have a consistent point of contact to answer questions, discuss decisions, and keep you informed as your home takes shape.
STEP 03
As construction nears completion, we coordinate final inspections, review remaining details, and walk through your completed home with you. Our commitment continues beyond move-in with a workmanship warranty and ongoing support for warranty-related questions.
Not at all! Whether you're just beginning to explore building a home or already have property and completed plans, we're happy to help. We can walk you through the process, connect you with trusted real estate, financing, and drafting professionals, and help you understand the steps needed to move your project forward.
Absolutely. At Isaac Construction, we specialize in building custom homes and barndominiums tailored to your vision, lifestyle, and budget. You're not limited to a selection of predetermined floor plans or finishes. We'll work with you to evaluate your plans, materials, and design preferences while considering construction requirements and overall costs.
We work with homeowners using both construction financing and cash funding. Construction payments are typically structured through a series of draws as your project progresses. The payment schedule is established in your construction agreement and coordinated with your lender's requirements when applicable.
Every project is different. Once we receive completed plans and establish the project specifications, preparing a detailed construction budget typically takes approximately 3–4 weeks. The overall timeline for planning, permitting, and construction depends on your home's size, complexity, site conditions, and material selections. We'll discuss an anticipated construction schedule specific to your project before work begins.
We stand behind our work with an extended workmanship warranty covering qualifying construction-related issues. Homeowners also have the option to purchase additional coverage through a 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty program. Specific coverage, exclusions, and warranty terms are outlined in the applicable warranty documents and construction agreement.
