The timeline for building a custom home in Colorado typically ranges from 6 to 12 months, depending on the size and complexity of the project. Several factors can affect your timeline, including the permitting process in your county, weather conditions, site preparation needs, and the level of customization in your design.
Building in mountainous areas can sometimes add time to the process. Steep lots may require additional site work, and winter weather can slow down certain phases of construction. Our team plans for these factors from the start so there are fewer surprises along the way.
Here is a general breakdown of the custom home building process. Design and planning typically takes 4 to 8 weeks. Permitting and approvals usually take 4 to 6 weeks depending on the county. Site preparation and foundation work takes 3 to 6 weeks. Framing, roofing, and exterior work takes 6 to 10 weeks. Interior finishes, mechanical systems, and final details take 8 to 12 weeks.
At True North Construction Company, we keep you informed throughout every phase of the build. We provide regular updates and work closely with you to stay on schedule and within budget. Contact us for a project estimate and we can give you a more specific timeline based on your project.

Initial Consultation
We start with a conversation about your vision, your budget, and your land. If you already have plans or a design in mind, we review them together. If you are still in the early stages, we can help guide you through your options and connect you with resources to get started.
Design and Planning
Once we understand your goals, we work with you to finalize the design and floor plan. We review every detail, from the layout and materials to energy-efficient features and finishes. This is where your home starts to take shape on paper.
Permitting and Approvals
We handle the permitting process with your local county. Building in Colorado’s mountain communities often involves specific requirements for snow loads, setbacks, and septic systems. Our team knows these requirements and manages the process for you.
Site Preparation and Foundation
Before construction begins, we prepare your site. This may include grading, excavation, utility connections, and foundation work. For mountain lots, this phase may also involve managing access, drainage, and soil conditions unique to your property.
Construction
With the foundation in place, we move into framing, roofing, and exterior work, followed by mechanical systems, insulation, interior finishes, and final details. We provide regular updates throughout construction and welcome your input along the way.
Final Walkthrough and Handoff
Before we hand you the keys, we walk through your completed home together. We review every detail to make sure everything meets your expectations and our standards. Your satisfaction is our top priority.

The cost of building a custom home in Colorado depends on several factors, and every project is different. While we do not publish standard pricing, we can give you a clear and detailed estimate based on the specifics of your project.
Some of the factors that affect the cost of a custom home include the size and layout of the home, the type of materials and finishes you choose, the complexity of your floor plan and design features, site conditions such as slope, access, soil type, and utility availability, county-specific permitting and engineering requirements, and energy-efficient features and systems.
Building on a mountain lot in Colorado can also affect costs. Steep grades may require additional foundation work, and remote locations may involve longer utility runs or road improvements. Our team evaluates these factors during the planning phase so you have an accurate picture of your total investment before construction begins.
At True North Construction Company, we are committed to transparent pricing with no hidden surprises. We work closely with you to design a home that fits your vision and your budget. We also build with energy efficiency in mind, which can save you money on utility costs for years to come.

Yes. While True North Construction Company does not offer direct financing, we regularly work with clients who are using construction loans to fund their custom home build. We are familiar with the construction lending process and can provide the documentation and draw schedules that lenders typically require.
A construction loan works differently from a traditional mortgage. It provides funds in stages as your home is being built, with the lender releasing payments at key milestones throughout the construction process. Once your home is complete, the construction loan typically converts to a standard mortgage.
We recommend starting conversations with your lender early in the planning process. Having a clear understanding of your financing before we begin design work helps us create a plan that fits both your vision and your budget.
If you need guidance on getting started with a construction loan, we are happy to share what we know and help you prepare. Contact us with any questions about the process.
Absolutely. Most of the custom homes we build are on land that our clients already own. Building on your own property gives you the freedom to choose your location, your views, and the setting for your new home.
Before construction begins, we evaluate your property to understand the site conditions and any challenges that may need to be addressed. This includes looking at the terrain and slope of the land, soil conditions and drainage, access roads and driveways, utility availability including water, electric, gas, and septic, and county-specific building codes and zoning requirements.
In our service area across Fremont, Custer, Teller, Pueblo, and El Paso counties, many properties are on mountain lots, rural acreage, or unimproved land. Our team has years of experience building on these types of properties and understands the unique requirements that come with Colorado’s terrain.
If you are still looking for land, we can also offer guidance on what to consider when choosing a building site. Factors like access, orientation, soil type, and utility distance can all affect the cost and timeline of your build.

Building a custom home on a mountain lot in Colorado is one of the most rewarding investments you can make, but it does come with unique considerations. At True North Construction Company, mountain construction is what we know best. Our team has years of experience building in the terrain and climate conditions found across Fremont, Custer, Teller, Pueblo, and El Paso counties.
Here are some of the key factors to consider when building on a mountain lot.
Snow Loads and Wind
Colorado’s mountain communities experience heavy snow and strong winds. Your home’s roof, framing, and structural systems need to be engineered to handle these conditions safely. We design every home to meet or exceed the snow load and wind requirements for your specific location.
Steep Lots and Terrain
Many mountain properties have significant slopes. Building on a steep lot requires careful site planning, specialized foundation work, and sometimes retaining walls or custom grading. Our team evaluates your lot early in the process to plan the best approach.
Access and Driveways
Getting to your building site matters. Some mountain properties require driveway construction, grading, or improvements to existing access roads. We factor these needs into your project plan from the beginning.
Utilities and Septic
Many mountain lots are not connected to municipal water or sewer systems. This means your home may need a well, a septic system, or both. We coordinate with local contractors and county requirements to make sure these systems are properly designed and installed.
County Building Codes
Each county in our service area has its own building codes and requirements. We are familiar with the regulations in Fremont, Custer, Teller, Pueblo, and El Paso counties and handle the permitting process on your behalf.
If you own a mountain lot and are thinking about building, reach out for a project estimate. We can evaluate your property and help you understand what it will take to build your home.
At True North Construction Company, we stand behind every home we build. We offer warranties on our custom home construction to give you confidence in your investment and peace of mind after you move in.
Our warranty coverage includes workmanship and materials used during the construction of your home. If something is not right, we want to know about it so we can make it right. We take pride in building homes that are meant to last, and our warranty reflects that commitment.
In addition to our builder warranty, many of the products and systems installed in your home come with their own manufacturer warranties. This includes items like roofing materials, windows, HVAC systems, appliances, and more. We can help you understand the coverage that comes with your specific selections.
We encourage all of our clients to do a thorough walkthrough of their completed home before closing. This final inspection is your opportunity to identify any items that need attention, and we address them before handing you the keys.
If you have questions about our warranty coverage or what is included, contact us and we will be happy to go over the details with you.
Yes, we understand that ideas can evolve as you see your home taking shape. At True North Construction Company, we are flexible and open to changes during the construction process. That said, we want to make sure you understand how changes work so there are no surprises.
Changes made during construction are typically handled through a change order. A change order documents what is being changed, how it affects the cost, and whether it impacts the timeline. Some changes are simple and have little effect on the schedule. Others, especially structural changes or material substitutions, may require additional time, engineering, or permitting.
The earlier a change is made, the easier and less expensive it usually is to accommodate. Changes during the design and planning phase are the simplest to manage. Once framing or mechanical systems are in place, modifications can be more involved.
We encourage our clients to take their time during the design phase to think through the details. We would rather spend extra time on planning than deal with costly changes during construction. That said, we know that building a custom home is a personal experience, and we are here to work with you if your plans need to adjust along the way.
