Understanding Costs & Considerations Creates a Successful “On Your Lot” Building Experience in Delaware.
With careful planning and the selection of an experienced and trustworthy homebuilder, building “On Your Lot” in Delaware can be an exciting experience. Timberlake Design/Build has been constructing beautiful homes for over 60 years. During this time, we’ve enhanced our services, broadened our capabilities, and designed a transparent and affordable process that puts our clients at ease knowing their new home will be built on time and within budget.
Numerous considerations will impact the lot you buy, the home you design, and your contract and costs for building your new home.
Getting Started – Homesite Location, Condition & Engineering
We build new homes throughout Sussex, New Castle, and Kent County Delaware. Our local team is hands-on from the moment you connect with us. We’re your partner, from concept throughcreation – personally visiting your homesite before you’veeven contracted with us!
That’s right! We don’t “Google it” and give you a best guess as to the suitability of your homesite to meet your building needs. With boots on the ground, we’re better equipped to provide you with a realistic lot finishing estimate. When we provide our knowledge and problem-solving expertise in the early days, you have more comfort in your decision-making, and we all enjoy the benefit of a highly rewarding outcome. When visiting your homesite we assess site-specific factors which will influence buildability and cost. After this review you are provided with a preliminary Lot Finishing Estimate which is unique among local builders at this early stage of collaboration.
As the Delaware Region Design/Build Sales Manager for Timberlake Homes, Iris enjoys helping homeowners turn their vision into reality. Whether a client is searching for the perfect homesite, already owns land, or is just beginning to explore the custom home process, she strives to make the experience clear and enjoyable. From evaluating land and discussing site development to selecting the right home, Iris is committed to being a trusted resource and guide from the first conversation through move-in day.

Sparing No Detail in Tracking Your Budget to Build
Timberlake Design/Build believes that an informed client is a happy client. From the start of our relationship, you’re aware of all expectations regarding the cost of building your new home. This transparency builds trust and lessens the “surprises” that may pop up. Ultimately the cost of your new home depends on your lot, engineering and permitting expenses, the home design you select and what you put into it. By removing the lack of specificity other builders may operate under, Timberlake’s process means you have the assurance of getting what you’ve paid for, and you can rest assured you’re making informed decisions from day one. Working with a builder who wants to collaborate in a transparent way from the beginning will help you get the home you’ve dreamed of within the budget you’re comfortable with!
