Common questions about custom homes and major renovations across the DMV.
Yes — BHI Construction is licensed in DC, Maryland (MHIC), and Virginia (Class A), and we file permits with each jurisdiction's authority directly. One contractor across the entire region.
Typically 12–18 months from contract signing to keys, depending on size, complexity, and jurisdiction. Permitting timelines and historic district reviews can extend that. We give a realistic schedule up front.
Custom homes in the DMV typically start around $400 per square foot for solid mid-tier finishes and run substantially higher for luxury work. Lot conditions, finish level, and jurisdiction all factor in. Our project range is $150K–$4M+.
Either. We collaborate with architects you're already engaged with, or we can recommend architects we've worked with on similar DMV projects. We're not territorial about that choice — the goal is the right team for your project.
