Call us, and let’s talk about building your dream home.

We Use a “Cost-Plus” Contract

Our mission is to be as transparent as possible throughout the home-building process. From timelines to finances, it’s important that we’re all on the same page.

That is why, when building out the budget for your home, we use a Cost-Plus Contract.

A cost-plus contract is a flexible agreement where the homeowner covers the actual costs of construction, including materials and labor, plus an agreed-upon fee for the builder’s management and expertise. This type of contract provides transparency throughout the building process, allowing you to make informed decisions and adjust specifications as needed to meet your unique vision and budget.

We review these costs in our initial meetings and throughout the entire process of building your home.

Testimonials

Haley Covel
Huffman Custom Homes just finished building our home in November '23 and we have nothing but wonderful things to say about the entire building process! The team is easy to work with, offers great ideas, and builds a quality product in a timely manner. We are already thinking about reaching out to them again to build a pool in our backyard!

Huffman Custom Homes made my dream home become a reality. Travis was easy to work and was professional. He offered great ideas and followed through each phase. He is very detailed and precise. I highly recommend Huffman Custom Homes.
Suong Nguyen
We cannot rave enough about the Huffmans and the quality work that they do. Their attention-to-detail and honest work ethic made building our forever home a stress-free experience! Anissa's eye for design along with Travis's mentality to get things done right the first time allowed us to be relaxed and comfortable in being hands-off on the build of our home.(which is the dream!) Although we were hands-off, they still took our inputs and any of our concerns very seriously. Finding the right builder is a hard task, but you will not be disappointed by giving the Huffmans a shot!
Jessica Hilterbran
As a couple who has never built a home before, Huffman Custom Homes spoiled us with such a pleasant and easy experience. From start to finish, Travis and his team were available and supportive. Our home was completely custom—from drawing our own blueprints to choosing every finish. One of the many wonderful things is that their team includes an interior designer. Anissa was truly invaluable in helping us achieve the aesthetic we wanted. We appreciated the transparency throughout—Erika kept us informed with updated invoices and price breakdowns. If you’re thinking of building a home, 10/10 would recommend Huffman Custom Homes. Their integrity, quality, and unmatched craftsmanship made this project as low-stress as I could imagine. We can’t wait to enjoy our forever home!

He was always willing to work with us to find any solutions to any problem we encountered in a timely and efficient manner. We were happy with our build from start to finish, and 5 years later we couldn’t be happier in our home. I highly recommend Huffman Custom Homes!!!

Home-Building Process FAQs

We sign a 12-month contract with homes under 4,000 sq/ft and an 18-month contract for homes over that size.

We work on a cost-plus contract, so the price varies depending on the materials of your home.

After we create the initial plans, we provide a detailed budget estimate based on the design and selected materials. This gives a close approximation, though final costs may adjust based on any additional preferences or upgrades.

With a cost-plus contract, we maintain transparency with you for all costs, including any unexpected expenses. You’ll receive regular updates to help manage your budget and make any necessary adjustments.

First, we’ll chat over the phone to see if we align with your project. Afterward, we’ll meet in person to dive deeper into the details before we sign a contract and get to work!

While we encourage finalizing most details during the planning stage, we understand adjustments may be needed. We’ll discuss any change requests to determine what’s possible within the project’s scope.

Your level of involvement is up to you. Whether you want to be hands-on or prefer to step back, we’ll work together to establish an approach that matches your preferences.
