How much does it cost to build a custom home in Tampa Bay?
Custom home construction across Treasure Island, St. Petersburg and Pinellas County typically runs $300–$600+ per square foot. Coastal and waterfront builds land at the higher end. A 2,500 sq ft luxury coastal home generally totals $750,000–$1.5M+. We provide a detailed written estimate after reviewing your lot — call (727) 349-5715.
What's the difference between buying a new construction home and building custom?
A new construction (spec or production) home is pre-designed and built by a national builder on land they own — you choose from a few floor plans and finish packages, and it's often move-in ready. Building custom means the home is designed around you: your lot or chosen neighborhood, your layout, your finishes, approved on a 3D rendering before we build. New construction is usually faster and lower upfront; custom gives you exactly what you want where you want it. Not sure which fits? Call (727) 349-5715 and we'll walk you through it free.
Can you build a new home in the Treasure Island neighborhood I want?
Yes — that's the biggest advantage of building over buying a spec home. Spec homes only exist where a builder bought land. We build throughout Isle of Capri, Paradise Island, Sunset Beach, plus St. Petersburg and the beaches — so you get a brand-new home in the area you actually want to live. Tell us the neighborhood and we'll talk through what's possible.
I already own a lot, or want to tear down and rebuild — can you help?
Absolutely. Build-on-your-lot and tear-down-and-rebuild are two of our most-requested projects, especially after recent storms. We start with a free feasibility review — zoning, setbacks, elevation, soil, and flood-zone/hurricane compliance — before any design begins. Call (727) 349-5715 to get your lot evaluated.
Is it cheaper to buy new construction or build custom?
It depends. National builders can offer a lower sticker price thanks to bulk materials and repeated floor plans. Custom typically costs more, but you control every dollar — you choose where to invest and where to save, you're not paying for features you don't want, and you get the exact home, lot, and neighborhood you're after. We give you a detailed, itemized written estimate up front so you can compare honestly.
Do you handle both design and construction?
Yes — we're a full design-build firm. Architectural design, 3D rendering, permitting and construction under one contract, with one point of contact. No gaps between designer and builder, and a tighter budget and timeline.
What areas do you serve?
Treasure Island, St. Petersburg, Madeira Beach, St. Pete Beach, Tierra Verde, Gulfport, South Pasadena, Pass-a-Grille and the greater Pinellas County / Tampa Bay area.
Can you do a whole-home renovation as well as new construction?
Absolutely. We take on complete whole-home renovations, luxury kitchen and bath remodels, additions and second-story pop-ups — as well as ground-up custom homes.
Are you licensed and insured in Florida?
Yes — a licensed Florida General Contractor (CBC) with full general liability insurance and workers' compensation. You're protected from first shovel to final walkthrough.
What makes coastal construction different?
Barrier-island builds involve FEMA flood-zone compliance, elevated foundations, coastal setbacks, impact-rated windows and hurricane-strapped framing. We've navigated these requirements on projects across Treasure Island and Pinellas County.
