What building in Orlando actually involves
Orlando is thirty-plus distinct neighborhoods where infill and tear-down lots still trade — College Park, Audubon Park, Conway, SoDo and East Orlando. Every Orlando project runs through City of Orlando Permitting Services, and the county-level pieces — impact fees of about $15,000 on our smallest plan, plus Orange County's review of septic, flood and access where it applies — follow Orange County rules. Orange is fully inland. The site-cost variables that actually bite here are mature-tree protection ordinances, older utility laterals on infill blocks, and city-specific architectural review.
Brightview plan pricing in Orange County
These are our base plan prices with Orange County's impact and tap fees already in them — before land, site work and selections. Most builders quote you a base price and hand you the fee bill later; we would rather you see the county's number in the number.

Straight answers
Does Brightview build custom homes in Orlando?+
Yes. In Orlando 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 Orlando?+
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 Orlando?+
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 Orlando?+
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 Orlando?+
Design and engineering typically run 2–4 months, permitting through City of Orlando Permitting Services 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 Orlando?+
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.
