New Home Construction in Athens, GA

Yes. We build on available lots throughout Athens-Clarke County, including in-fill lots in established neighborhoods.

Most new homes in Athens take 10 to 16 months from groundbreaking to completion.

Financing for Athens clients runs through Payzer, RenoFi, and Service Finance Company. Each partner fits a different project size and term length, and we will help you compare monthly payment options before you sign. On the project itself, payment is structured as an initial deposit, installment payments as we reach major stages, and a final payment on walkthrough. We send written invoices for every draw so you have a clear record of what is being paid when.

No hidden fees. Every new home build estimate for a Athens homeowner is an itemized document showing labor, materials, permits, inspections, demolition, and cleanup separately. site prep, foundation, framing, systems, interior, and landscaping coordination each get their own line so you see exactly where the budget goes. Allowances for finishes are listed explicitly, so if you pick a higher-end tile or fixture, the delta is transparent. Change orders only happen in writing and only after you approve them, and there is no "miscellaneous" line absorbing unexpected costs.

We travel to your Athens home, walk the space, take measurements and photos, and go through your goals and budget. For a new home build the conversation covers site prep, foundation, framing, systems, interior, and landscaping coordination, existing condition notes, and any permit or code items we will have to address. We do not write a price on the spot — we follow up with a detailed written estimate. You are free to shop it, sit on it, or come back with questions. There is no deposit required until you sign a contract, and no fee for the consultation itself.
