FAQ'S

HOW LONG DOES IT TYPICALLY TAKE TO BUILD A NEW HOME?

The timeline for building a new home can vary depending on the size, complexity, weather, permitting, and design choices—but on average, most custom home builds take 6 to 12 months from start to finish.

​

Here’s a general breakdown of what that includes:

​

  • Design & Planning: 1–3 months (including blueprints, permits, and material selections)

  • Site Prep & Foundation: 1–2 months

  • Framing, Systems & Inspections: 2–4 months

  • Interior Finishes & Final Touches: 2–3 months

​

At Sage Homes, we prioritize both quality and efficiency, and we’ll keep you informed at every step of the process. We create a clear timeline at the beginning of your project so you always know what to expect—and when.

WHAT SHOULD I TAKE INTO ACCOUNT FOR MY NEW HOME BUILD?

Building a new home is an exciting journey, and there are several key factors to keep in mind to ensure a smooth and successful experience:

​

  • Budget: Know your financial limits from the start, and factor in both expected costs and a cushion for the unexpected. We can help you prioritize your wishlist to stay within budget without sacrificing quality.

  • Lifestyle & Needs: Think about how you live now—and how you want to live in the future. Consider layout, number of rooms, storage, entertaining spaces, aging in place, or growing family needs.

  • Location & Lot Features: The shape, size, slope, and orientation of your lot can influence your home’s design. We'll help you maximize the space and views.

  • Style & Aesthetic: Modern, rustic, farmhouse, coastal—whatever your style, our team will help you translate it into a cohesive design that reflects your personality.

  • Energy Efficiency & Sustainability: Consider smart systems, insulation, windows, and roofing that will keep your home comfortable and lower your long-term utility costs.

  • Builder Relationship: Choose a team you trust. At Sage Homes, we prioritize clear communication, attention to detail, and a personalized approach from start to finish.
