FAQ

Building in Durango

Do you actually offer fixed-price builds in Durango?

Yes — we're the only fixed-price custom builder currently taking projects in Durango. For highly-custom luxury estates where the scope is still evolving, we also offer transparent cost-plus.

How long does a custom home take in Durango?

Typical timelines are 10–14 months from groundbreaking, depending on lot conditions, La Plata County permitting, and finish complexity.

Can you build on my mountain lot?

Yes. We regularly evaluate sloped, forested, and off-grid-adjacent lots and will give you a candid feasibility review before any contract.
