Make This Day 1 Of Your Dream Home Project
Many of our homeowners choose a semi-custom approach when building on privately owned land. Starting with a proven floor plan allows families to personalize the features that matter most while maintaining a streamlined building experience.

Semi-Custom Homes Building FAQs
On average, custom home builders are slightly more expensive per square foot than purchasing an older or existing home. That said, it may cost less to build your dream home than you think. Typically, down payments for home construction financing range from 20% to 25%, depending on whether you already own the lot or need to purchase one.
At Michael’s Homes, we use dozens of floor plans as a launching point for construction. This allows us to expand and contract your project to fit any budget. With near-endless opportunities for customization, you can fill in the details however you’d like. Splurge on exquisite fixtures and flooring or conserve your funds for the most critical information—the decision is yours!
The price of a custom home can vary wildly, from the average cost of an existing home to the sky-high fees associated with mansions and cutting-edge design.
At Michael’s Homes, you’ll discover that most of our floorplans fit your budget. With four distinct floor plan tiers, you can collaborate with our architects and builders to create a unique living space that reflects your desires. Depending on the details, costs range between $ 300K and $800K.
Custom homes can be any shape, size, floor plan, and style. Semi-custom homes, meanwhile, are customizable to a point. They will not resemble every other house on the block.
At Michael’s Homes, you’ll start with one of our spacious and efficient floor plans. Beyond that, the choices are nearly limitless. From tiles and flooring to cladding, fixtures, and more, semi-custom homes offer plenty of options while fitting better into your budget.
