The most accurate estimate begins with a conversation and a site visit. Because every project is unique, we set a clear estimate before the contract is signed, ensuring we’ve accounted for your specific lot constraints and your “must-have” design features.
? While material and design choices drive the final numbers, our builds typically range from $500 to $1,000 per square foot. This range reflects our commitment to “beyond code” quality, high-performance systems, and the “wow factor” finishes that define a legacy estate at Reynolds Lake Oconee.
Our quotes are focused on the design and construction of your residence. However, as local experts, we help you evaluate your lot’s feasibility including site clearing, footings, and foundation requirements so you understand the total investment required to bring your vision to life on that specific piece of land.
We use allowances to give you flexibility while keeping the budget grounded in reality. We set realistic numbers for items like lighting, plumbing fixtures, and appliances based on your stated style and budget, ensuring you have a clear roadmap before you start making final selections.
Our “Simple Plan” is built on clarity. We provide an initial estimate during the design phase, but once Step 2 (Make Key Choices) is complete and the ARB/County submittals are ready, we finalize the contract price so you can move into construction with total peace of mind.
For projects ranging from $2 million to $20 million, financial transparency is non-negotiable. We send weekly accounting updates directly to you, so you always know exactly where your investment is going and can make informed decisions in real-time.
While we aim to lock in your vision during Step 2, we know that great ideas can happen during construction. We handle change orders with total honesty; we discuss the price and schedule impacts with you immediately and only proceed once we have your formal approval.

Many buyers are surprised by the technical requirements of lakefront construction. Our quotes proactively address “unseen” necessities like shoreline stabilization, specialized moisture-controlled foundations, and the administrative work of ARB and permit submittals.
We believe in “Clarity first”. By providing an in-house designer to guide your selections and maintaining a strict rhythm of weekly budget updates, we remove the “overwhelm” and help you stay disciplined to your financial goals without sacrificing the “wow factor”.
