Build a Custom Home
on Your Property in Virginia.
Sapphire Construction coordinates your build from pre-construction planning through completion, with straightforward communication about costs, scheduling, and progress.
A plan grounded in your property
The land comes first.
A floor plan is only one part of a successful custom build. Access, topography, soil, utilities, setbacks, drainage, and local requirements can all influence where the home sits and what it costs to build.
We start by learning what you know about the property, what still needs to be confirmed, and what kind of home you want. From there, we can outline the next practical steps.
- Home planning shaped around the site
- Clear discussion of site-development needs
- Selections and scope aligned with your priorities
- One point of contact through construction
Before design is finalized
What we look at on your homesite.
Not every item will apply to every property. Available documents and site information help identify what should be verified before final pricing and construction.
Access & placement
Driveway location, construction access, home orientation, grading, and how the house fits the property.
Water, sewer & power
Public utility availability or well and septic needs, plus the distance and route of service connections.
Soil & drainage
Known soil conditions, septic evaluations when applicable, drainage, clearing, and potential earthwork.
Straightforward builder pricing
12%builder fee when we build on your land
Know how your builder’s fee is calculated.
When Sapphire Construction builds a custom home on property you own, our builder fee is 12% of the approved construction cost. The project scope, allowances, and anticipated site work are developed before the construction agreement is finalized.
Because every property is different, final pricing depends on completed plans, selections, engineering, site information, permits, and the agreed scope. Any owner-requested changes or unforeseen conditions are addressed through written change documentation.
