There are plenty of reasons why people want a new construction home, ranging from the peace of mind that comes from warranties and new materials to the opportunity to have a home that most closely aligns with your personal wants and needs. As a new home builder in Portland OR, we build quality homes in attractive and ideally located communities, but we will also work with clients who want to build on their own land.

Whether you’ve inherited land or bought land specifically to build your dream home, turn to Garrette Custom Homes when you want to start construction. From permits and site development to creating and customizing your dream floor plan, we have the skills and experience to help you every step of the journey. In fact, we can even help you find your own lot if you want a new home, but don’t want to live in an organized community.

One of the biggest issues people have when trying to build on their own lot is getting the appropriate permits and preparing the land to be able to start construction. We can help you through these processes, streamlining and simplifying it for you. By turning to us, we will discuss your vision for your home and where you’d like it built on your land. We can make sure the chosen spot is buildable or suggest another arrangement that may be a better spot, while still giving you the home you want.

From site development to designing and building your dream home, we work with you through every step of the process, keeping you informed and up to date, so there are no surprises. Right from the start, we will provide you with an honest assessment of what it will cost, from the first preparation of the land to the final construction of your home. After all, this isn’t just an investment, this is your home, and we want to meet or surpass your expectations.

In addition, when you’re considering building a home on your own land, we invite you to attend one of our educational New Home Building seminars to gain more insight into what goes into building a home. The more you know, the easier it is to determine your needs and make sure the final home is what you truly want.

If you’re ready to choose a home builder in Portland OR, we invite you to reach out today and start learning about how our experience, customer care, and transparency can make this important project a positive experience that results in a home you’ll love for years to come.
