Whether on the water, in the countryside, or in a premier residential neighborhood, Templar Homes builds with strength, style, and lasting value.

Yes. Templar Homes proudly builds on your lot or property anywhere within our service area. Whether it’s a coastal waterfront site, inland acreage, or a lot in a developed neighborhood, our team will evaluate your property for site conditions, flood zones, utilities, and permitting requirements before construction begins.

We’ll guide you through every step—from site assessment and engineering to permitting and final build—ensuring your home is designed specifically for your lot’s unique features. If you haven’t purchased land yet, we can also assist in reviewing potential properties to confirm buildability and help you make an informed decision.

At Templar Homes, we don’t just build homes—we build the foundation for your vision.

Yes. At Templar Homes, we offer a complete design-build process, meaning your home is designed and constructed by the same team from start to finish. Our in-house professionals work alongside trusted architects, engineers, and designers to bring your vision to life with meticulous precision and clear communication at every stage.

Whether you have a set of plans or are starting with a blank canvas, we’ll design a home that reflects your lifestyle, your property’s features, and your personal style. Every Templar home is custom—no stock plans, no shortcuts, no cut and paste plans together, and no compromises.

Yes. At Templar Homes, we can build directly from your existing architectural or engineered plans. Our team will carefully review your drawings for structural integrity, code compliance, and cost efficiency before construction begins.

We frequently work with homeowners who already have plans and want a trusted builder to bring them to life with precision and craftsmanship. If your plans need adjustments for flood zones, structural engineering, or design refinements, our in-house team and partners can handle that too—ensuring your home meets both your vision and Florida Building Code requirements.

Whether you start with a full plan set or just an idea, Templar Homes will guide you from concept to completion with integrity behind every detail.

At Templar Homes, we believe in clear, upfront pricing with no surprises. Your proposal will outline exactly what is included and what is not—so you always know where every dollar is going.

Typically, impact fees, site preparation, and permit fees are itemized separately since they vary by county, lot conditions, and utility requirements. Costs for wells, septic systems, and utility connections are also detailed based on site-specific needs and engineering reports.

We’ll review these items with you early in the design phase to ensure your budget reflects the true cost to build on your property. Transparency and precision are at the core of every Templar Homes project.

The average timeline for building a Templar Home typically ranges from 8 to 14 months after the foundation is poured. The exact duration depends on the size, complexity, and location of the project, as well as municipal permitting and material lead times.

From start to finish, our team creates a detailed project schedule and keeps you informed through every stage—from design and permitting to framing, finishes, and final walkthrough. Our goal is to ensure your home is completed on time, built to the highest standards, and crafted with meticulous attention to detail.

 At Templar Homes, communication is key. We provide regular updates throughout every phase of your build so you’re always informed and confident about progress.

You’ll receive:

• Progress photos and milestone reports through our builder software
   
• Group text updates and email communication directly from your Templar team
   
• Scheduled onsite meetings to review selections, details, and next steps
   

From the foundation to the finishing touches, we make sure you know exactly what’s happening and when—because transparency and trust are the foundation of every Templar home.

Every Templar home is personally managed by a licensed contractor, ownership, and a dedicated project supervisor who oversee all aspects of your build—from site preparation and permitting to final inspections and client walkthroughs.

Our leadership team is actively involved in every decision, trade coordination, and quality check, ensuring your home is built with the same level of care and precision we would demand for our own. You’ll always know who to contact and can expect direct communication with your Templar team throughout the entire process.

At Templar Homes, your project isn’t just another build—it’s a reflection of our integrity behind the shield.

Every Templar home is backed by a comprehensive warranty package for your peace of mind. In addition to all manufacturer warranties on materials and products, Templar Homes provides a one-year builder warranty covering workmanship and materials.

You’ll also receive an additional structural warranty through the 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty program, purchased on your behalf at closing. This coverage protects your investment well beyond the first year and ensures lasting confidence in the quality and craftsmanship of your Templar home.
