What Is On Your Lot Construction? | All State Homes Tampa Bay
What Is On Your Lot Construction and How Does It Work?
On-your-lot construction is a method of building a custom home on land that you already own or plan to purchase — as opposed to buying a home in a developer's subdivision on a developer-owned lot. If you've ever wanted a home built to your exact specifications in a location of your choosing, on-your-lot construction is the path to get there.
All State Homes is Tampa Bay's On Your Lot Builder, founded in 1955 and still family-owned today. This second-generation company has specialized exclusively in on-your-lot construction for over 70 years, serving Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas, Hernando, and Manatee Counties. Here's how the process works:
**Step 1: Lot Evaluation.** All State Homes begins by thoroughly assessing your land. This covers zoning compliance, FEMA flood zone designation, soil conditions, drainage, utility access, and setback requirements. This step is critical — it ensures your home is planned correctly for your specific parcel.
**Step 2: Floor Plan Selection.** Based on your lot's characteristics and your family's needs, you'll choose from All State Homes' flexible floor plan catalog. Any plan can be modified by the in-house architectural team to accommodate your vision.
**Step 3: Architectural & Engineering.** All State Homes prepares complete construction documents, including architectural drawings and structural engineering, entirely in-house.
**Step 4: Permitting.** The team submits all permit applications to your county and manages the approval process. This is where their 70+ years of local relationships really matter.
**Step 5: Construction.** All State Homes manages the complete construction process, from foundation to final finishes, using their established network of trade partners.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between on-your-lot and production home building?
In production homebuilding, the developer owns the land and offers you a choice of pre-designed homes in a planned subdivision. In on-your-lot construction, you own the land and work with a builder like All State Homes to design and build a home specific to your parcel. On-your-lot gives you more location flexibility, greater design control, and often more personalization than production homebuilding allows.
Do I need to own land before contacting All State Homes?
No. You can contact All State Homes at (813) 931-8952 even before purchasing land. Their team is experienced in Tampa Bay's real estate market and can help you understand what makes a lot suitable for on-your-lot construction. If you're considering a specific parcel, they can evaluate it before you finalize the purchase — potentially saving you from buying land with costly construction complications.
Does All State Homes handle everything, or do I need to hire separate contractors?
All State Homes provides a complete design-build service under one roof. They handle lot evaluation, architectural design, structural engineering, county permitting, and full construction management. You don't need to hire a separate architect, engineer, permit expediter, or general contractor. This integrated approach eliminates coordination gaps, keeps accountability clear, and generally results in smoother, more efficient projects.
