Build your custom home with a structured, design-build approach that eliminates costly surprises and delays. From feasibility planning to final walkthrough, we manage every detail with precision, transparency, and executive-level discipline so you can build with confidence.
You know what you want. What you need now is a builder you can trust to execute it accurately, transparently, and without the common problems that derail most new builds.
We built CBI Contracting to operate differently. Every custom home we build follows a documented process, a fixed-price contract, and direct communication from site meetings to move-in day.
We manage the full scope of new home construction from the first site meeting to the final walkthrough. There are no gaps in responsibility, and we don’t hand off any phases without oversight.
Here’s what’s covered under every new home contract:
Land clearing, grading, utility connections, and permit acquisition handled by our team. We know the Marion County permitting process and manage it on your behalf.
Slab or stem wall constructed to engineering specifications and inspected before we move forward.
Full structural framing by our field crew. Every project is reviewed against the approved plans before the next phase begins.
Roof system, exterior sheathing, windows, and doors installed and weatherproofed.
Climate-appropriate insulation selected and installed. Drywall hung, finished, and ready for paint.
Flooring, cabinetry, trim, fixtures, and paint per your selections. All finishes confirmed before ordering to avoid delays.
Exterior paint, lighting, and basic landscaping completed to match your approved plan.
When you’re investing in Ocala custom homes, the builder you choose determines the outcome more than any other factor.
Your agreed budget is protected by our Budget Clarity Guarantee. If unexpected costs arise, we cover them.
Your completion date is in the contract, backed by a financial credit for every week we run late.
Your foreman and construction manager are with you from the site meeting through handover.
We don’t move to the next phase until the current one passes. Our 300-point checklist keeps every build on standard.
Our approach to new home construction is built around clarity, discipline, and expert guidance. We don’t just build homes we lead the entire process from the earliest planning stages through final completion. By combining strategic planning, disciplined execution, and transparent communication, we help you make confident, informed decisions at every step. While you focus on your vision and lifestyle, our team manages the complexity behind the scenes, ensuring timelines are met, quality standards are upheld, and your home is delivered exactly as planned.
We review your goals, budget, timeline, and property details to define project expectations.
We coordinate architectural plans, layouts, materials, and structural details before construction begins.
Our team oversees scheduling, trades, inspections, and quality control throughout every building phase.
We conduct detailed walkthroughs, complete finishing work, and ensure everything meets expectations.

I have used him for multiple commercial renovations and a few small residential projects and have been incredibly happy with all of the work. It’s unusual to find someone who cares about their customer as much as they care about making money. Thanks for being a great addition to the Ocala contracting community.

Cost depends on square footage, finishes, site conditions, and scope. As new home builders in Ocala, FL, we provide a full line-item estimate after your site meeting.
Most new home builds in our market run 10–14 months from permit approval to certificate of occupancy. Size, complexity, and finish selections all affect the timeline. Your specific schedule is built into the contract before work starts, and our On-Time Completion Guarantee backs it up.
If you're building on a new lot, daily disruption is minimal, as construction happens off-site from where you're currently living.
We manage the full scope of construction site prep, permitting, foundation, framing, MEP, roofing, finishes, exterior, and final inspection. Architectural drawings and engineering are typically completed before our contract begins; we can refer you to trusted professionals if needed. Furniture is outside our scope.
If you’re ready to move from planning to building, the first step is a site meeting. We’ll review your project, walk you through our process, and provide an accurate estimate before you commit to anything.
