Why custom homes works the way it does in Lavonia
About Lavonia, GA. Lavonia is a small Franklin County, Georgia town near the southern end of Lake Hartwell, sitting close to I-85 and serving as a feeder community for the lake's GA-side cove neighborhoods and the Currahee Club golf community in nearby Toccoa. The local economy mixes long-standing agriculture with steady lake-driven residential demand.
What it means for custom homes. Franklin County permitting governs outlying parcels, with the City of Lavonia handling its own jurisdictional builds. Lake-adjacent work falls under USACE Lake Hartwell shoreline rules. Typical projects are custom homes on lake-cove lots, additions and remodels of older homes near downtown, and acreage builds on parcels carved out of family land.

What Affects the Price
Every job is different. Here's what we look at when we put together your estimate — so there are no surprises on job day.
Square footage and number of stories — single biggest cost driver
Fully custom plans vs. semi-custom from America's Best House Plans
Lot conditions: slope, soil, view orientation, shoreline classification
Interior finish tier — Shaw / Pelican / Armstrong selections range widely
Mechanical complexity: smart-home, geothermal, solar, or standard systems
Site work and septic if outside Greenville city utility coverage
We don't quote over the phone. Every estimate is done on-site because that's the only way to give you a number you can count on. No ballparks, no surprises.
Our Process
How We Approach
Custom Homes
Design Consult & Plan Lock-In
Sit down with our in-house design team — or bring an architect of your own. We pair with America's Best House Plans for proven semi-custom shells, or take your raw ideas to a fully bespoke set of plans before a single permit is pulled.
Lot Read & Build-Ready Prep
We walk your lot — Lake Keowee shoreline, Cliffs slope, Augusta Road infill, or new acreage in Travelers Rest — and engineer for what's actually there. Foundation, drainage, and orientation are decided on-site, not in an office.
Build, Punch, Hand Over the Keys
One named project manager. Weekly written updates. Premium suppliers — Shaw, Armstrong, Pelican, Builder's First Source — locked in at contract. We hand over the keys when the punch list is clean, not when we want to move on.
