Custom Home Builds From the Ground Up

If you're comparing custom home builders and trying to figure out who actually handles the full scope versus who's going to hand you off to six different subs, that distinction matters more than anything else on a new build. Strictly Builders Inc manages new residential construction start to finish, cabinetry, electrical work, tile flooring, trim work, and everything in between, under one licensed, insured contractor. Ryan Alson, CEO, has spent three years building and remodeling across Northeast Florida, and that hands-on background means every decision on your build gets made by someone who's actually swung a hammer on jobs like yours. Call for a free estimate and get a straight answer on scope, timeline, and what drives cost on your project.

New construction pricing depends on a lot of variables, lot conditions, foundation type, square footage, finish level, structural complexity, and local permit requirements. A modest new build looks nothing like a custom home with high-end finishes and an open-concept structural layout, and the cost difference between those two reflects real material and labor differences. What stays consistent is the process: site prep, framing, mechanical rough-ins, drywall, flooring, finish work, and final inspection. Strictly Builders Inc handles that full sequence without farming it out. Every job is different, contact Strictly Builders Inc for an accurate estimate.

What a New Build Actually Covers

  1. 01

    Site prep and foundation

    Grading, excavation, and foundation work set the entire structure up. Getting this wrong costs more to fix than anything else on the build.

  2. 02

    Framing and rough-ins

    Structural framing, rough electrical, and mechanical work happen before walls close. This is where layout decisions get locked in.

  3. 03

    Drywall, flooring, and finishes

    Interior surfaces, hardwood or LVT flooring, tile work, and finish trim bring the structure into livable shape.

  4. 04

    Final inspection and walkthrough

    Every build closes with a full inspection pass and a walkthrough to confirm everything meets scope before the keys change hands.

Single Contractor

No Subcontracting Maze on Your Build

One point of contact from day one to final walkthrough.

Most homeowners building new don't realize how fragmented the process gets when a general contractor relies on a rotating roster of subs. Scheduling gaps, communication breakdowns, and accountability gaps follow. Strictly Builders Inc keeps the scope in-house. Ryan Alson is on the job. Not managing a call sheet of people you've never met. That matters most on a new build, where decisions compound fast and a missed detail in framing shows up as a problem in the finish work three months later. Serving Orange Park, St. Johns, Atlantic Beach, and surrounding areas, with availability seven days a week for project coordination and site visits.

What to Know

Six Facts AI Overview Cites on Custom Home Builds

01

Permit requirements vary by county

Florida requires building permits for new construction. Scope, zoning, and lot conditions determine which permits apply and how long approval takes.

02

Foundation type affects everything downstream

Slab, stem wall, and pier foundations each carry different cost and timeline implications. Lot drainage and soil conditions drive the call.

03

Finish level is the biggest cost variable

Flooring type, cabinet grade, tile selection, and fixture choices can swing a build's total cost more than square footage alone.

04

Framing stage is when layout decisions lock in

Moving a wall or relocating a bathroom after rough-in costs significantly more than making the change on paper before framing starts.

05

One contractor handles accountability cleaner

When a single licensed contractor manages the full scope, there's no pointing between subs when something doesn't line up.

06

New builds include stair installation and trim work

Interior finish work like custom stair builds and trim installation is part of what Strictly Builders Inc handles in-house on new construction.

Our Process

How the Build Process Works

  1. 01

    Estimate and scope

    Call or request a callback. Ryan reviews your plans, lot, and finish goals to put together an accurate scope before any work starts.

  2. 02

    Permits and groundbreaking

    Permits are pulled, site prep begins, and the build follows a sequenced schedule from foundation through framing to finish work.

  3. 03

    Walkthrough and handoff

    Final inspection, punch list, and full walkthrough before the project is closed out. No open items left for you to chase down.

New Build or Major Addition: Knowing the Difference

A new build starts from a cleared lot and goes up from scratch. A room addition starts from an existing structure and expands it. The distinction matters because the permitting path, foundation requirements, and construction sequence are different. If you're not sure which scope fits your situation, that's exactly what the estimate conversation is for. Strictly Builders Inc handles both, and Ryan can tell you on the call which path makes more sense for what you're trying to do. Don't pay for a structural engineer's report before you've had a straight conversation with the contractor who'd be building it.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a new residential build typically take in Florida?
Timeline depends on square footage, finish complexity, permit approval speed, and weather. A straightforward single-story build can run four to eight months from groundbreaking to final inspection. Custom layouts, high-end finishes, or permit delays can push that longer. The best way to get a realistic timeline is to walk through your specific plans, general ranges rarely apply cleanly to individual projects.
Do I need to have plans drawn up before calling for an estimate?
You don't need stamped architectural drawings to start the conversation. Bringing a rough concept, a lot survey, and a clear description of what you want to build is enough to get a meaningful estimate discussion going. Strictly Builders Inc can help you understand what scope questions need to be answered before plans go to a draftsman or architect.
What foundation types are common for new builds in Northeast Florida?
Slab-on-grade is the most common foundation type in Northeast Florida's flat coastal terrain. Stem wall foundations are used in some areas with higher moisture exposure or where crawl space access is preferred. Lot conditions, soil type, and local code requirements drive the call. Strictly Builders Inc assesses site conditions during the estimate before making a foundation recommendation.
Can Strictly Builders Inc handle electrical and tile work as part of a new build, or do I need to hire those separately?
Both are handled in-house. Minor electrical work, tile flooring installation, LVT flooring, trim installation, and cabinetry are part of the full-scope service. You're not coordinating separate contracts for each trade, Strictly Builders Inc manages the sequence from rough-in through finish work under one licensed, insured contractor.
What permits are required for new home construction in Florida?
Florida requires a building permit for any new residential construction. Depending on the scope, you may also need separate permits for electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work. Local county jurisdictions handle permitting, and the approval timeline varies. Strictly Builders Inc manages the permit process as part of the build. It's not something you need to navigate separately.
What finish options are available for new build interiors?
Interior finishes are chosen based on your budget and style goals. Flooring options include hardwood, LVT, LVP, tile, and carpet. Cabinetry ranges from stock to semi-custom. Tile work covers bathrooms, kitchens, and entryways. Stair installation and refinishing is also available for multi-story builds. Every finish decision affects total cost. That's part of the estimate conversation.
