Our Custom Home Build Process. 

We build custom homes in Fairfield County, including locations such as Southport, Greenfield Hill, Fairfield Beach, and Westport.

Your home should be a perfect fit. Like a tailored suit or your favorite pair of shoes, your home should feel like it was made for you. And, with a custom home, it can be! 

Imagine entering the front door of your Fairfield home to a welcoming sensation of peace. Everything is in order because every element — from the layout to the style choices — reflects your needs and tastes. The kitchen is your ideal mix of beautiful and functional; the bathroom feels like a spa, with luxury features of your choice; the mudroom has built-in custom storage space for every family member’s coats, shoes, and bags. These details are just the beginning when you design a custom home with Raymond Design Builders.  

With our client-centered designers, your dream home has never been more in reach. We work with you from concept to completion to create a bespoke home for your life. We even have an in-house mill shop, where you can get vanities, kitchen storage, and other custom cabinetry made to your exact specifications.

How much does it cost to build a custom home in Connecticut?

The average cost to build a custom home in Fairfield County, Connecticut, is $350,000-$700,000. The final cost of your custom home will depend on numerous factors. The size, location, grade of finishes, and scope of the project are some of the most influential factors.

At Raymond Design Builders, the pillars of our business are honesty and transparency. We know that offering a lower estimate than what’s realistic will only lead to disappointment. That’s why we strive to get as much information about your design goals as possible, so you can go into the custom home building process with the best, most accurate knowledge. 

What is the first step in building a custom home?

There are actually multiple first steps you could undertake simultaneously: finding out your budget, interviewing design-builders for your project; and looking for the perfect lot for your custom home in Fairfield County. This might sound like a lot to juggle at once, but the benefit of getting all of these tasks underway is that you will be able to hire your design-build team and start the design process sooner rather than later. 

Not sure where to look for land in Fairfield County? The design-build team you hire will likely have a network of realtors to put you in touch with to help you find your site.
