A concept elevation drawn from your selections. It isn't construction drawings or a final design.

Elliot and Noor, thank you for spending the afternoon with us on the lot and in the design center.

Below are three build series for the Larkin plan, a 2,850 sq ft, four-bedroom home. Each price is the contract price for the plan and specifications listed, including the allowances shown for items you'll choose later. Exterior selections and upgrades update the total as you go, and anything that depends on what we find in the ground is listed separately so it never hides in a number.

Sending a request doesn't commit you to anything. It starts the conversation about a contract.

Hannah VossOwner and builder, Kestrel Ridge Custom Homes

The home

Every series builds the same Larkin floor plan on Lot 14 with the same structure: engineered foundation, framed walls and roof trusses, and mechanical systems sized by our engineers. The series differ in ceiling heights, exterior materials, windows, the front porch and the allowances for finishes you'll choose in the design center.

Hannah recommends Signature series. The vaulted great room and front porch are the two things you kept coming back to, and the allowances fit the finishes you liked in the design center.

Please note

This estimate isn't a construction contract. The contract, plans and specifications will govern. Prices assume the lot conditions described here.

The drawing on this page is a concept elevation, not construction drawings or a final design.

How allowances work

An allowance is a budget included in your price for items you'll choose later. If your selection costs less, the difference is credited to you. If it costs more, the difference is a change order you approve before we order it.

This isn't a contract

Requesting to proceed starts the contract conversation. Nothing is binding until a construction contract with plans and specifications is signed, and every later change requires a written change order.
