First-Time Custom Home Builder? Build on Your Lot in Tampa Bay
Building a custom home on your lot for the first time can feel overwhelming — but with the right builder, it doesn't have to be. All State Homes, Tampa Bay's On Your Lot Builder since 1955, has guided thousands of first-time builders through the process over their 70+ years in business. Their job is to make a complex process feel manageable, transparent, and even enjoyable.

You don't need prior construction knowledge to work with them — that's exactly what they're here for.
For first-time builders, All State Homes begins with a thorough explanation of the entire on-your-lot process: what happens in what order, who is responsible for each step, and what you'll be asked to decide at each stage. No surprises, no assumptions about your prior knowledge.
The lot evaluation is handled entirely by the All State Homes team, so first-time builders don't have to understand zoning codes or FEMA maps on their own. Floor plan selection is guided by experienced design staff who help you understand the trade-offs between different layouts, sizes, and features. All permitting is managed by All State Homes. Construction is managed by their experienced site supervisors.
Custom homes start from the low $200Ks, making the dream of building on your lot accessible to first-time builders with a wide range of budgets. Financing guidance is also available through their network of experienced construction lenders.
