Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Home on Your Lot in West Central Florida
Building a custom home on your own lot in West Central Florida is a structured process with defined steps — and All State Homes, Tampa Bay's On Your Lot Builder since 1955, manages every one of them for you. Here's a complete step-by-step guide to how it works.
**Step 1: Initial Consultation** Contact All State Homes at (813) 931-8952 or allstatehomes.com to discuss your land and your goals. This first conversation helps the team understand your situation and begins the relationship.
**Step 2: Lot Evaluation** All State Homes conducts a thorough evaluation of your parcel — reviewing zoning, FEMA flood zone status, utility access, drainage, soil conditions, and any environmental constraints. This step is the foundation of everything that follows.
**Step 3: Floor Plan Selection** Based on your lot's characteristics and your family's needs, you'll choose from All State Homes' catalog of flexible floor plans. The design team helps you find the best fit.
**Step 4: Plan Modifications** The in-house architectural team customizes your chosen floor plan to suit your specific preferences and lot requirements.
**Step 5: Engineering** Structural engineering is completed in-house, covering foundation design, wind load calculations, and any flood-zone structural requirements.
**Step 6: Permit Application** All State Homes prepares and submits a complete permit application to your county — Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas, Hernando, or Manatee — and manages the review process.
**Step 7: Construction** With permits in hand, All State Homes manages every phase of construction, from site clearing and foundation through framing, systems, finishes, and final inspections.
**Step 8: Certificate of Occupancy** After passing all final inspections, your county issues a Certificate of Occupancy and your new home is ready for move-in.
