If you’re thinking about building a custom home in Lewisville or Winston-Salem, one of the first questions is always: what is this actually going to cost?

The honest answer is — it depends — but we can give you a realistic range based on what we’re seeing right now in the Triad.

For most custom homes in our area, you can expect to fall somewhere between $250–$300+ per square foot, depending on selections, layout, and site conditions. A more straightforward build with standard finishes will land on the lower end, while fully custom homes with upgraded kitchens, trim work, and outdoor living spaces will push toward the higher end.

One of the biggest factors people don’t initially consider is the lot itself. If you’re building in Lewisville or Winston-Salem, your lot can significantly impact cost depending on grading, tree clearing, and whether you’re on septic or sewer. Basement homes, which are common in this area, also add to the overall investment but can provide valuable living space and resale value.

Selections play a major role as well. Items like cabinetry, appliances, flooring, and lighting can quickly move the needle. For example, choosing custom cabinetry or a high-end appliance package can add tens of thousands, while simpler selections can help keep things closer to budget.

Another piece to consider is what’s not always included in the base number. Things like driveways, landscaping, and site improvements are often separate and should be planned for early.

The best way to get an accurate number is to go through a pre-construction process where we look at your plans, your lot, and your goals. That allows us to give you real numbers — not just a rough guess.
