Building a custom home in Tampa Bay & Florida’s West Coast

A custom home starts long before the slab is poured. The lot decides more than most people expect: its flood zone sets the finished floor elevation, the soil decides how the foundation is prepared, and setbacks and HOA rules shape what can be built. That is why Zeta Construction starts every new home with a site evaluation, so the design fits the land and the budget from the first drawing.

From the plan to the keys

We coordinate the design with you and your architect, or with our drafting and engineering partners, and turn it into a complete set of construction documents. You make your selections with a clear allowance for each one, and we prepare an itemized estimate and a schedule with real milestones. Then we prepare the permit package for your county and build: foundations, structure, roof, windows, systems and finishes, with inspections passed at every stage.

Built for the Florida climate

Homes on Florida’s West Coast have to handle wind, rain, heat and humidity. We build to the current Florida Building Code with impact-rated openings, engineered connections and moisture control in the walls and roof. These choices protect the home and can also help with insurance through a wind mitigation inspection.

A home and a pool, one project

Most families who build in Florida want a pool, now or in a few years. When the pool is planned with the house, the grading, drainage, gas, plumbing and electrical are ready for it, and the pool can be built while the interior is finished. It is how Zeta Construction builds: the home and the pool as one project.

FAQ

New Custom Homes: questions we hear

Another question? Call (813) 610-9805

How long does it take to build a custom home in Tampa Bay or Sarasota?

It depends on the size of the home, the design and the county's permit review. Design and permitting come first, and construction of a single-family custom home commonly takes around 9 to 14 months after that. Before construction starts you receive a written schedule with its milestones.

Can you build on my lot?

Yes. We build on land you already own or are buying. Before design we review the survey, zoning, setbacks, flood zone and soil so there are no surprises later. If you are still choosing a lot, we can look at it with you before you buy.

Do you design the home, or can I bring my architect?

Both work. We can build from your architect's plans or coordinate the design with our drafting and engineering partners. Either way, we review the plans for cost and buildability before we price them.

How much does it cost to build a custom home in Tampa Bay or Sarasota?

The cost depends on size, finishes, site conditions and design choices. After a consultation and a site visit we prepare an itemized estimate, so you can see what drives the number and where it can be adjusted.

Can the pool be part of the same project?

Yes, and it is what Zeta Construction does best. When the pool is designed with the home, grading, drainage, plumbing and electrical are planned together, the pool is built while the house is finished, and you move in with everything ready.

Are your homes built for hurricanes?

Every home is built to the current Florida Building Code for the wind speeds of its location, with impact-rated or protected openings, engineered roof-to-wall connections and the elevation required by its flood zone.

Who will I talk to during construction?

One project manager is your contact from start to finish, in English or Spanish. You receive updates at each milestone and can walk the site with us.
