Cost and timeline
Home design and plan cost in the Treasure Valley
Typical timeline
A complete permit-ready set typically takes 8 to 16 weeks depending on home size and how quickly design decisions are made. County plan review adds a further 3 to 8 weeks.
As of 2026, a permit-ready custom home drawing set with structural engineering and energy compliance runs roughly $9,000 to $35,000 in the Treasure Valley, or about 5 to 12 percent of construction cost. Simple single-level homes sit near the bottom of that range and large or complex designs above it.
These are planning ranges, not bids. Home size, structural complexity, and the number of design revision rounds drive the final figure, which we fix in writing after a programming session.

Why design-build for your home design & plans
As a design-build home builder, we bring architectural design, engineering, estimating, permitting, and construction under one contract and one accountable team. That removes the handoffs and finger-pointing that happen when the architect, the plan reviewer, and the general contractor all answer to someone different - and it keeps your home design & plans on a single, coordinated schedule.
You get a written, fixed price before we break ground and a published draw schedule through the build.
