Yes. We typically have available lot inventory, and if none are a fit, we are well-connected with local developers and real estate agents throughout the Treasure Valley.

Yes to both. Maybon Homes is a full-service design-build firm, capable of designing your home from a napkin sketch using the latest design technology—including renderings, VR walkthroughs, and clash detection—so you can visualize your home before construction begins.

We also offer a curated library of award-winning floorplans that can be built as-is or customized to fit your needs. Many clients choose this option to save time while still achieving a truly custom result.

Our core focus is luxury custom homes with high-end finishes and thoughtful design. That said, we always start by listening. Some clients prefer a more semi-custom approach, and we tailor the process to meet your design goals, budget, and timeline—delivering exactly what you need.

We guide design decisions using historical pricing data early on. Once the design is complete, we conduct a rigorous bidding process with our trade partners. All vendors sign purchase orders, giving us firm cost control.

While the national average budget variance for builders is around 7%, Maybon Homes operates at under 1% variance from the original budget to final audit.

As involved as you want to be. Our systems are designed to keep you informed without overwhelming you. Through our client portal, you’ll have real-time access to schedules, budgets, selections, and daily updates. You’ll also work with a dedicated project manager who guides you every step of the way.

Our typical design-build timeline averages 12 months when starting from scratch:

  • ~3 months for design and estimating
  • ~1.5 months for permitting
  • ~7–8 months for construction

This timeline can vary depending on scope and complexity. Some designs are completed in just a few weeks, while highly detailed custom homes may take longer. If you already have plans—or start with one of our pre-designed floorplans—we can move directly into permitting and construction, shortening the overall timeline.

The cost to build a custom home varies greatly depending on design, size, and finishes. Most of our custom homes fall between $250–$350 per square foot, not including the cost of the lot.

What sets Maybon Homes apart is our structured and efficient pre-construction process. Once your home is designed and priced, we are extremely disciplined at controlling the budget. Our clients know exactly where they will land financially before we ever break ground, eliminating surprises and uncertainty.
