Luxury custom home with white stone, dark roofs and three garage doors in Cleveland, TN, built by VMH Construction

Designed and built by one company

A custom home should be designed around how you live, not adapted from someone else's plan.

We handle both design and construction, so you work with one company from the first sketch to the finished home. Every home is built with high-quality materials and detailed craftsmanship, and we measure three times before making a single cut.

Before construction, for qualifying projects we show you visuals of your design so you see the finished home first. And we stand behind our estimate with a fixed price.

We also build spec homes and take on subdivision development.

Custom home questions

How much does it cost to build a custom home?

Every home is different: size, design, finishes, location and site conditions all affect the price. After an initial consultation we prepare your estimate. Our article Why building a new home is so expensive walks through the main cost drivers.

Will the price change once construction starts?

We stand behind our estimate and guarantee a fixed price, so you can plan your finances and avoid unexpected costs or budget overruns.

Can I see my home before it's built?

Yes. For qualifying projects, we show you visuals of your design before we build. Whether they're included depends on project size and design scope.

Can you build an energy-efficient home?

Yes. Our 1,854 sq ft Chattanooga home, for example, has Energy Star rated appliances, a high-efficiency HVAC system and a tankless gas water heater. Our guide Energy efficiency: what to ask your builder covers the questions worth asking.

Where do you build custom homes?

We're based in Cleveland, TN and build throughout Southeast Tennessee, including Chattanooga, Ooltewah, Apison, Athens, Benton, Harrison and McDonald.

Do you build spec homes?

Yes. Along with custom homes, we build spec homes and take on subdivision development.
