Build On Your Lot Process
- 1
Build Your Team
A dedicated ensemble of independent professionals working together will help to protect your investment, vision and timeline.

Make sure your interview focuses on how unanticipated situations are resolved and the systems the builder uses to keep a consistent and clear line of communication open to your entire team through the entire build and warranty cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What areas do you cover for Build On Your Lot?
My primary focus area is the 84 corridor in Western and Central Connecticut, but I have had the diverse experience of participating in real estate transactions in Litchfield, Hartford, Fairfield, New Haven, Middlesex and New London counties. Conveniently located in between Boston and Manhattan, Connecticut offers charming shoreline communities to private equestrian retreats to energetic urban environments.
How long does the typical build take from contract to close?
Anticipate a Delivery Timeline of 2 - 3 years from Initial Consultation to Move In Day for a Custom Luxury New Construction Home. 6 months for planning, 6 months to 1 year for permits, site prep and infrastructure (horizontal construction) followed by 12-24 months of structural and finishes (vertical construction) completed with the Certificate of Occupancy inspection.
What financing options work best for build-on-your-lot?
There are a variety of financing options for new construction projects including Construction-to-Permanent and Builder Financed. If you are planning on going into contract on a true Custom build created with your personalized design selections, come prepared to invest more than you would on a traditional resale home. Seek guidance from your Real Estate Attorney, Financial Advisor and a lender that specializes in new construction loan options.
What if I don't own a lot yet — can you help me find one?
Yes, we source home sites! You may have already fallen in love with a specific location or function that you are willing to accept potential environmental constraints. (Examples: sloping shoreline of a certain body of water that you want access to or minimum land required to build an equestrian stable or helipad) If not, we would suggest that you may want to consider the Architectural plans first and then locate the site that best accomodates your design.
Why might a single family home on a large homesite have an annual HOA fee?
Often, new construction single family homes are built on roads that are private. If it is not a town road, there may be a shared responsibility for road maintenance and snow removal. If it is a public road, there may still be a small shared financial responsibility for maintaining a neighborhood entrance monument, cluster mailboxes and landscaping or a detention/retention basin required by the municipality for stormwater control.
