What does a custom home cost in Livingston County?

A custom home is priced to its design — which is exactly why we design first. Through the Design Agreement and Plans & Selections stages, your home is fully designed and every selection made, then One True Price fixes the complete construction cost before we break ground. You never carry an open-ended budget.

The One True Price difference on a custom home

Most custom-home contracts are riddled with allowances — placeholder numbers that turn into overruns at the worst possible time. Because every selection in a Lux Builders home is made before construction, the price you sign is the price you pay. Twenty years of building luxury homes in Livingston County stand behind it.

Our process: One True Price

Four stages. One fixed price before construction begins. No allowances, no surprises.

Design Agreement

We start with design, not a rough guess. A modest design fee gets you a real plan built around your home and budget.

Plans & Selections

Complete construction plans and every selection — cabinetry, tile, fixtures, hardware — chosen and priced before we build.

One True Price

One fixed price before construction begins. No allowances, no change-order roulette, no surprise costs.

Build with Confidence

Hands-on construction management to the agreed plan and price, with a schedule you can hold us to.
