We use the phrase ‘on-your-lot’ quite a bit around Adair Homes. Why? Well, it’s exactly what we do. At Adair Homes, we build your house on your lot. We aren’t buying large tracts of land and developing neighborhoods as you might see in expanding suburban areas. Instead, our business is focused on helping our clients build homes on land that they choose. Through our unique home building process, our clients acquire strong equity positions in their improved properties—not to mention their dream custom home come true.

When beginning down the path to your dream custom home, it's essential to find the right property. The characteristics of the land will influence the overall design of your home. The size of the lot will impact the size of your home, and which of our plans are the best options. If the lot is sloped, you may consider a daylight basement, or additional foundation. Are the utilities already connected, or do you need to account for those during site development? All of these considerations will be important during your search for the perfect parcel of land.

But how do you find that place?
