Most 1,600–3,000 sq ft homes run ~8–10 months from signed contract to move‑in. Starting from an idea (design + selections + plans), add ~6 months, so ~14–16 months total. Weather, selections, and site work can affect schedule.
Recent Elev8 customs near Calamus have landed from the low‑$300s to $1M+, driven by size, selections (cabinetry/countertops, appliance package), site work, rural utilities, and lot conditions. We establish a fixed price after design and vendor/trade quotes.
Not necessarily. Finished barndominiums are often comparable to custom homes on a per‑finished‑sf basis once interior finishes, shop size, and rural utility work are included. Expect ~8–10 months of construction after design; full idea‑to‑keys can run ~12–18 months depending on design depth.
Begin design/pre‑construction in fall/winter. We typically open ~four build slots starting in April, staggered about every two months through early fall. Design runs year‑round.
Scope we’re carrying, lot improvements (grading, well, utilities), selections (cabinetry, countertops, appliances), and site conditions. Locking selections early and coordinating utilities protects price and schedule.
Yes. We draft in‑house (Chief Architect) and bring in engineers for spans, wind, and concrete/decks as needed. We also collaborate with outside architects for highly bespoke designs.
