What you get
- Start from a proven plan and modify it — the fastest, least expensive path to a genuinely custom house.
- Or bring your own architect's drawings and we'll build them, with a real constructability review first.
- Structural changes, ceiling treatments, kitchen reconfigurations, in-law suites and 3-car garages are all on the table.
- You see the actual cost of every change before you approve it — our change orders are priced, not estimated.
- The same fixed-price discipline as our production plans, applied to a one-off house.
What the same house costs in each of our eight counties
Same plans, same specs — the difference is what each county charges in impact and tap fees. We put those fees inside the price instead of billing them to you at permit.

Straight answers
Does Brightview build custom homes in Central Florida?+
Yes. In Central Florida we build custom two ways: we modify one of our eleven floor plans to fit your lot and your life, or we build from plans you bring us after a constructability review. Brightview Homes is a licensed Florida general contractor (CRC1334100) building across eight Central Florida counties. Call (407) 543-1739.
How much does a custom home cost in Central Florida?+
Custom work in Orange County starts from our plan pricing — $284,990 to $580,990 with county fees included — and moves from there based on the changes. Structural modifications, ceiling treatments and kitchen reconfigurations all carry a real priced number before they enter the contract.
Can I bring my own architect's plans to build in Central Florida?+
Yes. We'll review them for constructability and Florida Building Code compliance, price them honestly, and tell you where a small change saves real money. If your plan set needs structural, truss or energy engineering to permit, we coordinate it.
What's the difference between custom and semi-custom in Central Florida?+
Semi-custom means starting from a proven plan and modifying it — far faster and cheaper, because the engineering already exists. Full custom means designing from scratch. Most buyers who say 'custom' actually want semi-custom, and we'll say so if that's what fits your budget.
How long does a custom build take in Central Florida?+
Design and engineering typically run 2–4 months, permitting through Orange County Building Safety, plus each city's own building department another 6–12 weeks, and construction 8–11 months for a custom house. A modified stock plan is faster on all three.
Do you build in-law suites, 3-car garages and bonus rooms in Central Florida?+
Yes — those three are the most common modifications we do. In-law suites in particular are worth designing at the start rather than adding later, because the plumbing and structural runs are much cheaper before the slab is poured.
