Custom builds — Custom Home Builder — Central Valley & Sierra Foothills
A custom home is the longest project we take on — the design phase alone is measured in months, and the build in seasons. It's a commitment we make selectively, because a ground-up build deserves the same one-team accountability as our remodels: the people who design it, engineer it, and build it answer to each other inside one company.
What custom means to us is not a floor plan from a catalog with upgraded counters. It's a house designed for one site and one household, carried by the same design-build process you can see across our remodel portfolio — one contract, one team, from the first site walk to the final fixture, under CSLB license #1070537.
How much does it cost to build a custom home in the Central Valley?
Custom builds at KHB start around $350 per square foot for a fully finished home, excluding land and landscape. Specification level — stone, millwork, appliances, and site work — drives the final number, and the design phase locks that cost before construction begins.
How long does a custom home take to build?
Measured in seasons, not weeks: design alone runs months, and the build itself typically spans a year or more depending on site and complexity. The design phase locks scope, selections, and cost before ground breaks — which is what keeps the construction phase on schedule.
