New construction guidance, builder introductions, and lot selection for clients who want to start fresh.
Building new comes with its own rules — builder contracts, lot premiums, and upgrade decisions that quietly add up. You need someone in your corner who isn't on the builder's payroll.
I help you evaluate lots and builders clearly, negotiate where there's room to, and avoid the upgrade traps that don't add real value.

Not an exhaustive list — just a starting point for who's actively building across Hamilton, Boone, and Hendricks County right now, grouped by the kind of build they typically offer.
A ground-up build isn't the only path to a brand-new home, either. Depending on the neighborhood, many of these builders also offer spec homes — move-in-ready or nearly-finished new construction, often with some choice still available on finishes. If your timeline or preference leans toward new without the full custom process, it's worth asking what's already underway.
Most production and semi-custom builders in Indiana follow some version of an industry-standard "1-2-10" structure: one year covering workmanship and materials, two years covering major mechanical systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical), and ten years covering major structural defects. Exact terms, exclusions, and what's covered vary by builder and should always be confirmed in writing in your purchase agreement — I'll walk through the specific warranty documents with you before you sign anything.
This list is provided for informational purposes as a starting point and is not an endorsement, guarantee, or recommendation of any builder's workmanship, pricing, or reliability. Always complete your own due diligence and have any builder contract reviewed by an attorney before signing.
Lot price and the builder's base price are just the start — upgrades and options are where new-build budgets usually grow. Adjust the numbers to see a fuller picture to budget accordingly.
These figures are estimates for planning purposes only and are not a quote or guarantee of actual costs. Final pricing depends on your builder's contract, lot, and selections.
