🏠 We Build Custom Homes In Key Central Florida Communities

Central Florida is unique, and your home should be too. At GRIT Custom Homes, we combine local expertise with a deep commitment to quality craftsmanship.

Our End-to-End Process: From Slab to Shingles

🔨 Our Full-Service Homebuilding Advantage: From Concept to Key Handover

Building a luxury custom home in Central Florida should be an exciting journey, not a source of stress. The GRIT “Slab to Shingles” commitment is more than a slogan—it’s a comprehensive, transparent process managed end-to-end by our expert team. We eliminate complexity, providing you with one point of contact and unwavering peace of mind.

The GRIT 5-Phase process is designed for maximum clarity, taking you seamlessly from the first consultation to the moment you turn the key:

  • Phase 1: Vision & Discovery: We begin by deeply understanding the life you want to live. This phase involves initial consultation, Budget Alignment through preliminary cost modeling, and defining your aesthetic for Custom Floor Plans.

  • Phase 2: Pre-Construction & Contracts: We lock in the details with a Comprehensive, Fixed-Price Contract. Our team handles all Permitting and Approvals with Central Florida county and city authorities, guaranteeing a clear, timely start without budget surprises.

  • Phase 3: Construction & Execution: This is where our craftsmanship shines. We manage the entire physical build, from precision Foundation/Slab pouring to the installation of high-efficiency mechanical systems and structural framing built to high Florida building codes.

  • Phase 4: Finishes & Final Touches: We transform the structure into your bespoke living space. This includes the installation of Luxury Finishes—custom cabinetry, tile work, and fixtures—all overseen by expert project managers with meticulous Quality Assurance checks.

  • Phase 5: Handover & Warranty: After the Final Walkthrough confirms complete satisfaction, you receive the keys. Your investment is protected by our Comprehensive Structural Warranty, securing your home for years to come.
One Partner. Total Accountability. Complete Peace of Mind.
