At Soli Deo Homes and Total Build Advisors, we offer different levels of construction support depending on how involved you want to be in your project.

Whether you want a turnkey custom home, professional project management, or experienced consulting and guidance, our goal is to give you the right level of support while keeping the process transparent, organized, and efficient.

1. Custom Home Building

Soli Deo Homes — General Contractor

Typical Pricing: $100–$110 per square foot*

Pricing varies based on design complexity, location, site conditions, materials, finishes, and overall project scope.

Scope

A complete design-to-build solution for clients who want a turnkey experience. Soli Deo Homes manages the construction process from planning and permitting through construction and final completion.

What You Get

• Full-service construction management under one building agreement

• Coordination of architects, engineers, subcontractors, suppliers, and inspectors

• Scheduling and quality-control oversight throughout construction

• Material and trade coordination

• Progress updates and milestone communication

• Assistance coordinating construction financing, appraisals, draws, and the transition to permanent financing

• One point of contact responsible for coordinating the overall build

What This Means for You

Turnkey: You focus on your home and design selections while we manage the construction process.

Accountability: One builder coordinates the moving parts of your project.

Convenience: We handle the day-to-day construction details so you don't have to manage individual trades.

Your Level of Involvement

Low to Moderate — You remain involved in major design, finish, and budget decisions while our team manages the construction process.

Why It Costs This Way

Your fee covers the professional management and administration required to coordinate the project, including scheduling, supervision, communication, construction coordination, and builder responsibilities associated with the project.

2. Cost-Plus Construction

Soli Deo Homes — Cost-Plus Building

Typical Pricing: $87-$97 per Square foot* 

Cost of the Work + Agreed Builder's Fee*

Final pricing depends on project scope, location, selections, site conditions, and the specific terms of the construction agreement.

Scope

Our cost-plus option is designed for homeowners who want greater transparency and a more hands-on role in the construction process.

Rather than paying a traditional fixed construction price, the Owner pays the actual allowable project costs as defined in the construction agreement, plus the agreed-upon builder's fee.

What You Get

• Greater visibility into project costs

• Access to actual project and subcontractor costs as defined by the agreement

• Professional construction management and coordination

• Coordination of subcontractors, suppliers, inspections, and scheduling

• Assistance with budgeting, draws, and construction financing

• Flexibility to make informed decisions throughout the project

• Professional guidance while maintaining greater control over project spending

What This Means for You

Transparency: You have greater visibility into where project funds are being spent.

Flexibility: You can make decisions throughout construction based on your budget and priorities.

Hands-On Experience: You can be more involved in selections, costs, and project decisions while we manage the construction process.

Your Level of Involvement

Moderate to High — You participate more actively in budgeting, selections, and project decisions while Soli Deo Homes coordinates the construction.

Why Choose Cost-Plus?

Cost-plus construction can be a good option for clients who want more transparency and involvement rather than paying for a traditional fixed-price turnkey build. It allows the Owner and Builder to work together throughout the project while clearly defining costs, responsibilities, and the Builder's fee.

Total Build Advisors — Construction & Development Consulting

Typical Pricing:

• Hourly Consulting: $150–$250 per hour

• Flat-Rate Packages: Based on project scope

• Development Consulting: Custom pricing

Your Level of Involvement

High — You manage the project directly while Total Build Advisors provides guidance, expertise, and accountability.

Why It Costs This Way
