Great rep and a great builder!

If you're not in an extreme hurry, there are usually a decent number of high end builders in the local Parade of Homes events. Bay County's runs May 9-16 if you can get down this weekend:

Bay County Home Builders

Okaloosa-Walton is June 12-20 and they usually have a couple different St. Joe premium developments homes in the Parade.

Hello,
Thinking about building a home in the Watersound/Seagrove Beach area. Looking to find a good home builder to get some idea on pricing/costs. If anyone can recommend a good builder please advise...Thanks.

Cerengeti - I would highly recommend Norman Mclean with Highland Builders. His number is 615-830-5142.

He has built homes for several of my clients on and around CR-30A in the high end range and all have been very pleased with his workmanship. Not only does he do quality work but his pricing has been very appealing to my clients, and he seems to complete these homes in about half the time of other builders that I have observed.

Good luck - the areas you are considering are top rate!

You should definitely speak with Allen at
Velvet Sun Builders, Inc.

Great builder and very profesional.

Ralph Gage Contracting is an approved St Joe builder. You can reach him at 850-585-4616 and his website is Gage Contracting - custom homes of distinction on Scenic 30-A. He has built several custom homes in Watercolor which you can view on his website. Thanks!

There are a lot of great builders in Sowal, but there are also some not so great.

I found this blog to be very informative on how to go about picking a builder and checking up on them:

If you have a set of plans and a chosen building lot, then select several GCs and submit for a preliminary cost estimate. Choose GCs that have had success in the subdivision you are building if possible.

Asking for endorsements from a forum is inherently problematic. You have no idea what the responders hidden interests might be.

If you have not selected a lot, then the cost of the rough and fine grade preparation, including fill, and utilities delivery will vary widely depending on your chosen lot and home. Keep this in mind.

Regardless the best way to choose a GC is by viewing several o their completed homes, talk to the people who hired them and ask, if they had something to do differently, what would they do?

Good luck.

We've met with a gentleman by the name of Scott Brooks. He lives and builds within Watercolor. He's a true craftsman, but what really impressed us was his openness to our ideas and budget. You can visit his website at the following link: Welcome To Borges Brooks Builders. He's building at least one home right now in WC and I'm sure he'd be happy to have you walk through the home and meet him. I feel confident you'd be impressed with the work as well as Scott himself.

I would strongly suggest you look into building an ICF home. Energy efficiency, safe as can be, discount on insurance. You just can not go wrong. We used Logix and our house contractor was Chris Ritchie.

I have tons of info if you need it.
