How long does it take to build a custom home?
The timeline to build a custom home can vary depending on the lot, design complexity, and materials selected. Most clients spend 6–12 months in the pre-construction phases, finalizing design, engineering, selections, budgets & contract details followed by another 8–12 months of construction. In total, most Radford homes take 18–24 months from concept to completion.
Our structured process keeps every phase organized and transparent so you always know where things stand.
How much does it cost to build a custom home?
Custom home pricing depends on many factors such as design, site conditions, and finish level. In our market, most new homes range from $300 to $500 per square foot.
This is why we emphasize the pre-construction process — through our Concept Agreement and Preliminary Building Agreement — so that every detail, selection, and scope item is clearly defined. This ensures your budget is accurate and you know the costs well before construction begins.
