Design-build means you’re working with one team for both design and construction.

Instead of coordinating separate designers and contractors, everything is handled under one roof, which helps keep communication clear and decisions aligned as the project moves forward.

Project costs can vary based on the scope of work, the condition of the existing home, and the level of customization. That said, most projects fall within general ranges that can help set expectations early on.

Here’s a look at typical starting ranges:

• Bathroom Remodels: $35,000 to $100,000+
  
  
• Kitchen Remodels: $70,000 to $200,000+
  
  
• ADUs (Attached or Detached): $100,000 to $300,000+
  
  
• Custom Homes: $220 to $320+ per square foot

Keep in mind that factors like layout changes, structural updates, site conditions, and material selections can all influence where your project falls within these ranges.

The clearest way to understand what your project may cost is to talk through your home, your goals, and your options with a team that can provide a realistic starting point.

Building a custom home gives you full control over how your home is planned and built, but it also requires more upfront decision-making than buying or remodeling.

Before getting started, it helps to understand a few key factors:

• Your property or lot: Site conditions, utilities, and access can affect both design and cost
• Budget expectations: Custom homes in Gainesville typically start around $220 to $320+ per square foot, depending on design and materials
• Timeline: The process includes design, permitting, and construction, which can take several months to over a year depending on scope
• Level of customization: Layout changes, architectural details, and finish selections all influence the final result

A clear plan at the beginning makes a big difference. Working with a design-build team helps keep decisions, budget, and construction aligned from the start, which leads to a smoother process overall.

If you’re considering building a custom home, starting with a conversation about your property and priorities is usually the best next step.

In some cases, yes, but it depends on the scope of the project and how much of your home is being affected.

Here’s a general way to think about it:

• You may be able to stay if:
  The work is limited to one area, like a single bathroom or a portion of the home, and utilities can remain in use
• It may be difficult to stay if:
  The project involves multiple rooms, major layout changes, or essential spaces like the kitchen are out of service
• You’ll likely need to relocate if:
  It’s a whole-home remodel or a project that impacts plumbing, electrical, or overall livability for an extended period

Beyond logistics, it’s also worth considering noise, dust, and the day-to-day disruption that comes with construction.

During the planning phase, we’ll talk through what to expect and help you decide what makes the most sense for your situation, whether that means staying in place or planning for temporary housing.
