A custom home from Harris Home Builders starts at $450 per square foot and goes up with size, complexity, and the finishes you choose. A modest home lands near $850,000. Most land well above it. We say this early because it saves everyone time.
We draw your house in 2D and 3D with you before an engineer signs it off. You see it before you pay to build it.
Forty to sixty hours of pre-construction work produces a line-item budget with current market pricing from every trade and vendor.
The budget becomes a ceiling. Savings are yours. Overruns are ours.
Solid wood, real masonry, copper and standing seam where it matters, and finishes you select yourself from any supplier you like.
Seth manages every trade on your project and has worked every one of them with his own hands.
An appraisal measures what the market pays for square footage. It does not measure the roof that lasts sixty years instead of twenty, the framing that stays straight, or the air you breathe inside. Those show up as the repairs you never make and the replacements you never buy. Our clients are the ones who do that math.
For clients with chemical sensitivities, autoimmune conditions, or simply a low tolerance for off-gassing plywood and spray foam, we build to Building Biology standards with a consultant on the team.
For clients who want a home designed under Maharishi Vastu principles, we build from plans by certified Vastu architects and coordinate the consultants, the town, and the engineer.
Harris Home Builders has not yet completed a ground-up custom home. We say that plainly because you will find it out anyway. What Seth brings instead is twelve years of self-performed remodeling across every trade, a Building Science certification, and a long record of repairing houses that were built fast. The pre-construction phase exists so you can judge our work on paper before trusting us with a foundation.
Granby, Simsbury, Avon, Farmington, Canton, and the surrounding towns of Hartford County. Madison, Guilford, Old Saybrook, Essex, and Westport on the shoreline.
Fourteen questions, then a phone call from Seth if the project is a fit.
