What A SwagerBuilds Custom Home Means
Full-scope custom — from feasibility to keys-in-hand.
A SwagerBuilds custom home isn’t a stock plan with finish upgrades. It’s a design-build, engineer-stamped, fully custom build coordinated end-to-end by one builder — me — from the day you call to the day I hand you keys.
I run the entire scope: lot feasibility, design coordination, structural engineering, permitting, site work, construction, finish, and warranty. You have one phone number to call and one builder personally accountable for every line item.
People find me searching for everything from “custom home builders in Idaho” to “custom house builders near me.” Same job either way: a fully custom built home, engineered for this climate, delivered by the builder whose name is on the company.
What’s included.
- Lot feasibility & siting — sun, view, snow load, septic, utilities
- Design coordination — from concept through engineer-stamped drawings
- Structural engineering — stamped, snow-load engineered for the Tetons
- Permitting — I run the city, you don’t make the call
- Full GC scope — site work through final walkthrough
- Custom millwork — cabinetry and built-ins
- Daily JobTread logs — photos, progress, what’s queued for tomorrow
- 1-year SwagerBuilds workmanship warranty — on top of standard Idaho coverage
Investment Range
$400 per square foot and up.
That’s construction cost, on interior living space. How far up it goes depends on the finishes and fixtures you choose. Once the design and selections are set, your price is fixed.
Garage, covered outdoor space, and unfinished areas price separately. Land, design, and permits sit outside the build number.
Most SwagerBuilds custom homes land between $1M and $5M total. Your real number comes out of the design agreement: plans, engineering, selections, and sub bids by cost code, then one fixed price at design lock. No guesses on a first call.
Build On Your Lot
Already own land? We build on your lot.
Plenty of clients come to me already owning ground — a lot in Rigby, acreage outside Rexburg, or a view parcel in Teton Valley. Homes built on your lot start the same place every SwagerBuilds project does: Stage 1, the lot review. Sun, views, snow load, septic, utilities, and access — checked before you spend a dollar on design.
Don’t own land yet? Bring me the parcel you’re eyeing and I’ll tell you honestly whether it pencils out — before you buy it, not after.

Select Projects
Shops, barndominiums & remodels, by invitation
Custom homes are our focus. Each year we also take on a limited number of shops, barndominiums, and whole-home remodels across Teton Valley and Eastern Idaho, when the project fits our schedule and our standard.
Those builds run on the same system as our homes: a fixed price after design lock, daily photo logs, a weekly video walkthrough, and one accountable owner. If you have one in mind, tell us about it on a 15-minute planning call and we’ll tell you straight whether it’s a fit.
Let’s see if we’re a fit.
It starts with a 15-minute planning call: your lot, your timeline, and how involved you want to be. No cost, no commitment, no sales pressure.
