FAQ
Where does David Leite Custom Homes build?
We build homes in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and surrounding regions, in both urban infill and rural settings.
Must I provide the lot in order for you to build me a home?
We can certainly build on land you already own, or we can build on one of our own available Showcase lots. We can also assist you through our local Realtor network to find a lot suited to your specific needs.
How long will it take to build my home?
The completion date for your particular home is discussed during your initial consultations. Since every home is unique and tailored to each client’s needs, an estimated completion date depends on the extent of the lot development needed, the home’s design, your structural and finish-out options, as well as seasonal weather patterns.
What does it cost to build custom?
What is your fee structure?
With fluctuating raw goods markets, an ever-changing labor force, and constant advancements in construction technology, it can be difficult for the average person to know what to expect when building custom. We are always happy to have an honest conversation about recent builds to give our clients perspective, help create budgets, and set realistic expectations of what it costs to build custom.
We offer two fee structures:
Fixed Price: Under this format, our professional fee is a fixed price per square foot that is calculated once all design selections and structural features have been finalized, including garages, porches, outdoor living areas, and landscaping design.
Cost-Plus: A cost-plus format may be selected where our professional fee is a percentage of all the development and construction costs. This percentage will vary from one home to the next based upon several factors including but not limited to: lot location and topography, size of the home, structural and finish-out detail complexity.
Does David Leite Custom Homes do additions?
