What is a Custom Home Build?
A custom home build is so much more than just another residential construction project. It’s a chance to build a home that’s entirely your own. Unlike the all too common production homes, which only offer limited floor plans and design choices, working with a solid team allows you to personalize nearly every aspect of a home down to the finest details.
Some of the features that mark a true custom home may include:
- Being able to choose your lot and home placement to ensure the best lighting and views.
- Collaborating with designers to create a home layout that complements your unique lifestyle.
- Selecting finishes, fixtures, and materials that align with your specific style and preferences.
- Adding specialized spaces, such as home offices, entertainment rooms, or custom guest suites.
By partnering with our expert team of residential custom home builders, you won’t be buying just any old house. You’ll be making a long-term investment that’s meticulously designed to meet your family’s exact wants and needs for decades to come.
Our Custom Home Building Process
We understand just how stressful and overwhelming building a new home can be. That’s why we’ve spent decades perfecting a proven construction process that’s specifically designed to guide our clients comfortably from the very first discussions all the way through the final walkthrough. Our reputation as the top custom home builders in the region is built on making this journey as simple, transparent, and seamless as possible, and we’ll always do everything we can to ensure we live up to those expectations.
Here is what you can expect from the process:
Step 1: Initial Consultation and Vision
Every new custom home starts with an initial consultation. During this step, we’ll take the time to try to understand the unique vision you have for your home. We’ll ask you about your wants and needs, your stylistic preferences, and the goals you want to achieve, while also learning more about your everyday lifestyle. By the end of the meeting, we’ll have a solid foundation for the rest of the project to build off of.
Step 2: Planning and Design
Up next, our design team will get to work creating something that takes everything we learned from the initial consultation and turns it into a realistic design that we can bring to life. We’ll work closely with you through the entire design process to create detailed plans for everything from floor layouts and interior features to exterior architecture. Regardless of how clear your vision is, you’ll be able to trust that you’ll be a part of every decision, no matter how big or small.
Step 3: Budgeting and Timeline
Transparency is always key with any home-building project. We understand this better than anyone, which is why we always provide clear estimates, realistic timelines, and plenty of guidance on how to maximize your budget without compromising quality. We’ve been building homes for decades, and we know how fast we work and where problems are most likely to arise, so you’ll never have to worry too much about missed budgets and delayed timelines.
Step 4: Construction
Once you’ve approved all of our designs, our construction team will move in and start building. Our construction team is one of the best in the business, combining unmatched homebuilding experience, meticulous attention to detail, and the highest-quality materials to bring your designs to life. Construction times vary depending on the size and scope of the project, but we promise to always keep you well-informed throughout every step of the construction process.
Step 5: Final Walkthrough and Support
Once construction is complete, we’ll conduct a final walkthrough where we ensure that every detail of the home meets your highest expectations, but that’s not all. Our relationship doesn’t end when we finish building. We’ll also offer ongoing support and warranties to guarantee you get the home and the ongoing peace of mind you and your family deserve.
Customization Options and Features
Easily one of the most exciting parts of working with our team of residential custom home builders is the freedom you have to design unique features that match your family’s goals and lifestyle. While the possibilities are nearly endless, here are just a few of the wide range of customization options we offer:
- Interiors: Gourmet kitchens, luxury spa-inspired bathrooms, open floor plans, and smart home technology integration
- Energy Efficiency: Eco-friendly building materials, energy-efficient windows, and advanced insulation.
- Outdoor Living: Custom decks, patios, pools, barbecues, and landscapes
- Luxury Touches: Wine cellars, home theaters, bars, fitness rooms, and private studies
The whole point of building a custom home is so that you can have complete design control over every aspect of your new home. These options allow you to do just that, ensuring that your home is every bit an expression of who you are and the life you live. No matter what ideas you have for your home, you can trust that we can bring those ideas to life.

Why build a custom home when you can buy an existing home?
While building a custom home is generally more expensive than buying an existing one, there are still plenty of reasons why people continue to choose to build new homes. Some of the biggest reasons include:
- Having complete control over every aspect of the new home’s design
- No time-consuming and costly remodels are necessary when you move in
- More eco-friendly and efficient
- Fewer repairs and maintenance needs
- Location flexibility
How much does a custom home cost?
Every home is different, so there is no one-size-fits-all cost range for custom homes. That being said, the most significant factors that affect price include the size of the home, the types of materials, and the complexity of the design.
How long does it take to build a custom home?
Again, every home is different, so some homes may take quite a bit longer to build than others. Regardless of all the details, when you choose Megill Homes, we’ll ensure that you have an accurate timeline that takes everything into consideration long before construction starts.
What is the first step of the custom home construction process?
The first step in the custom home construction process is always an initial consultation. During this step, we’ll discuss everything from the vision that you have for your new home to your ideal budget and timeline. This step is arguably the most important as it lays the foundation for everything else that is to come.
Can you make design changes during the construction process?
Yes, although it is best to finalize all decisions before construction starts. Changing designs can create delays and increase costs significantly, so it’s always best to make a design decision and stick with it.
What areas do you serve?
We proudly serve prospective homeowners all over the southeastern Pennsylvania, northeast Maryland, and Delaware areas.
Can Megill Homes also remodel existing homes?
Yes, we can. In addition to building custom homes, we’re also some of the best custom home remodelers in the business. If you have an idea for a remodel, we’ll happily bring the vision you have to life.
