I am currently looking to build approx a 6,000sq ft home on a couple acres in Elk Grove.

I plan on being around 100-120/sq ft. just for the house. I would like a home more similar to homes in EDH than a track home....if that narrows it down at all. I do not have to have the best of best as far as materials go but def do not want a plain house either.

Just to give you an idea: it will be a 2 story, brick driveway on a 2 acre lot with a pool, movie theater, guest house, 5-6 car garage. I have pictures of homes which I would like to use ideas from as far as exterior, backyard and interior goes.

Any one that has built a custom home in the last couple years that can point me in the right direction? I want a builder that has experience with 5-6,000 sq + homes and has brilliant ideas.

Thank You

Craig Wichert El Dorado Hills Custom Homes | El Dorado Hills Construction | El Dorado Hills Contractor | El Dorado Hills Custom Home Builder | Granite Bay Custom Homes | Folsom Custom Homes - builds large custom homes in EDH, but you won't even touch $100-120/sq ft. Think more like $180 sq foot. And back yard landscaping/pool will be extra.

I appreciate the information.
I will give them a call and make an appt. I realize that landscaping and pool is extra.

Did he build your home?

Thank You

No he didn't build my home. But I have been in a number of his homes and they are lovely. He is still building spec custom homes ($1M plus) in Serrano and they sell very quickly. He has done some remodeling work for my clients, but I'm not sure if he is still doing that with the new home building market recovering.

I have scheduled an appointment. I also have an appointment with Lee Construction, and Landmark. Any comments on either of the 3 builders including Wichert besides what you have previously stated? Comparisons from experience?

Thank You

I'm not as familiar with the other 2. Once you narrow it down, send me a direct message and I'll ask around the office.

Check out Paul Hills Construction(Paul Hills Design & Hills Construction Inc. | Award Winning Custom Homes). We saw several houses built by him and there were beautiful. However, his rate is about $200/sqft.

I can second Paul Hills Construction. We've seen some of thier homes in the Granite Bay area and they are fantastic. In fact they are currently building one now on Sierra College road between Douglas and Rocklin Road.
