Frequently Asked Questions

Is building a custom home in Tyler more expensive than the alternatives?

The total cost of your East Texas custom home depends entirely on the choices you make for its design. The more artistic flourishes, high quality finishing elements, square footage, and other inclusions you desire, the higher the total cost. However, because you have direct control over the costs of materials, a custom home’s cost is far more flexible than that of traditional home options for homebuyers in East Texas.

How much does it typically cost to build a custom home?

A wide range of factors go into the custom homebuilding process that can affect pricing. From square footage to specific finish materials, physical lot conditions, and your budget. At Isaac Design & Construction, we’ll work closely with you to determine your budget requirements and provide a ballpark price, along with a detailed bid after you decide on the design elements you want to include in your custom home. Whether you want a high-end luxury home or simply a nice home that fits the needs of your family, our team of house experts can accommodate design requests at a great price.

How involved will I be in the design and construction of my new custom home?

From the very beginning of your new home's construction process, you can be as involved as you see fit. Your main point of contact, Keith Isaac, is available to you at all times over the duration of the design and building process, making the experience as much a partnership as you wish it to be. It is always okay to visit your new home during construction to oversee its progress.

WHAT ARE SOME EXTERNAL FACTORS TO CONSIDER BEFORE THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS BEGINS?

When building any home near Tyler, Texas it’s important to keep in mind certain additional costs and hurdles to cross. The major set of these are the home's utilities, like water, electric, sewer, home internet, etc.

• Will your home be connected to city water or will you need access to a water well?
• Will you have to run electricity to your new property or is it already available?
• Will you need a residential septic system installed or can you tap into the city sewer?

Determining the answers to these questions before the home construction process begins is key to understanding your total custom home costs.
