The Four Components of A Dream Home On Your Land
Every Dream Home has four components that create the overall Investment or Budget for your Dream Home.
Land Development
Land Cost
The price you pay for the land. You can include this in your loan, or if you already own land, you can use it as part of your down payment.
Land Improvements
These items can also be added to your loan. They cover things like permits, utilities, and clearing the land. Each piece of land is different, and our free evaluation will help you plan your budget.
Your Dream Home
Dream Home Base Price
The starting cost in your area for the floorplan you've selected. This price includes a fully finished home.
Personal Choices
Any personalization, custom choices or changes you have added to your home. You get to choose where and how you spend your budget, whether it's a little or a lot, or somewhere in between.
It's all up to you.
Land Cost - Your Location
YOU CHOOSE
When you're planning to build your Dream Home, the right location is everything. Some of our clients come in with a parcel of family land and others are still searching, in any case you choose, the Dream Location that is right for you and your family. If you need assistance finding land we can likely help you with that too!
Land Improvements
NECESSARY LAND DEVELOPMENT
Every piece of property is different, sometimes it is a piece of a cornfield and other times it is a wooded parcel right where you want to build your Dream Home. No matter the location the site needs to be made buildable and it needs to have the ability to accommodate both fresh water and wastewater. Sometimes it is in a municipality with the ability to hook to water and sewer services and sometimes it will need a septic system and a well for water. Even combinations of the two. In any event Red Door Homes has likely encountered something similar and is prepared to help. The cool thing is that we take on the burden of developing your land and we do it all for cost, dollar for dollar. Others in our industry charge exorbitant set fees or even management fees as a percentage of the expenses. Here we just want to help you get it done so that we can build your Dream Home.

We’ve created the most functional, attractive floorplans, and have chosen the best quality materials, so you’re able to build your dream home, on your lot, without the hassle.

Transparent “Envision to Enjoy” Pricing
While building a home can be one of the most financially rewarding and impactful lifestyle experiences in a person’s life, it can also be very complex. Red Door Homes works hard to provide all-inclusive pricing that helps our customers understand the total investment needed for their DREAM Home.
The earliest stages of searching for a DREAM Home are where soon-to-be homeowners feel most worried and vulnerable. Many decisions are there to be made and you need a trusted partner to guide you through the Journey. Making that decision is likely the most stressful and time-consuming part of the buying process. At this stage, a lot more sentences seem to end with question marks than with periods or exclamation points. Will I even be allowed to build on my property? How much will ‘site prep’ cost me? What does site development actually involve?
We alleviate the stress and worry of the pre-construction process by offering a complimentary Pre-Land Evaluation to prospective Red Door Homes customers. While we are not a feasibility company or a soils engineer, and our job is not to deem property “buildable” or “unbuildable,” our qualified staff can help you in the initial steps of this Dream Home journey by offering a Professional Assessment of what is entailed in developing your land to be ready to build and further to make your home your DREAM Home on your Dream location.
Because we believe education is key to a homeowner’s peace of mind and happiness with their forever home, we offer this Complimentary Pre-Land Evaluation prior to signing any agreement to Purchase and to better estimate total costs with our Investment Snapshot!
We know each piece of property is unique. To schedule a visit with one of our Dream Home Consultants to discuss your needs and goals, reach out today to get the Journey started!
‘ENVISION TO ENJOY—WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
These are the bookends of our Just 3 Simple Steps Journey, essentially it means that we are a Turn-Key Builder. When you see the phrase “turn-key” floating around, you might dismiss it as industry lingo and wonder what it really means. Put simply, it means we manage each phase of the Dream Home Journey, so your biggest concern is showing up on move-in day to turn the key in the lock.
“Envision to Enjoy,” however, doesn’t mean you’re not involved! This is your home, your dream, and our job is to help you realize it. We carefully work with you during each step of development to make sure your home and your vision are one and the same.
WHAT IS INVOLVED?
This collaborative begins now, as soon as you walk in our doors and we guide you to your Next Step, and isn’t complete until we fulfill our exclusive Dream Home Demonstration and turn over your keys.

Custom Home Builder Upfront Pricing
You’ve done your research. You’ve heard sales pitch after sales pitch. You’ve spent months on the web, weighing your options and shopping builders. You know what you want, and now you’re ready to build your forever home. You also know customization means cost, and the last thing you want is to be taken by surprise at any stage of your building journey. As a home builder with upfront pricing, we understand an accurate estimate is essential.
Red Door Homes Investment Snapshot home pricing is all about transparency, honesty, and forethought. Estimation is a key component at the earliest stages of converting your vision into a reality, and it’s important to us that those first steps be exhilarating, not stressful!
A STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS TO UPFRONT PRICING
Other builders will give you a “bare-bones” cost at the beginning, intending to make an extra buck in unanticipated costs after you sign a purchase agreement. We don’t do that. Just do these three things;
- Visit our Model Home Center and take a Discovery Tour
- Discuss your Dreams and Your Needs
- Complete an Investment Snapshot and schedule a Pre-Land Evaluation
Simple, right? Just like that, with an Investment Snapshot price in hand, you are ready to begin your building journey! For a detailed walkthrough of each step of that journey, click here.
EXPLORING YOUR OPTIONS? LET US BE YOUR SECOND OPINION
Many builders bank on their customers’ lack of knowledge in the building process. As a home builder with transparent and upfront pricing, Red Door Homes believes education is key. We offer Dream Home Workshops, Financing Workshops, Land Workshops as well as both Muddy Boots and Dusty Boots Home Tours of our homes currently under construction. We understand building your home may be the biggest investment you make for the rest of your life. So even if you’re pricing out your home with other builders, let our qualified staff “fact check” your estimate for quality and transparency.
