One Team. One Contract. From Concept to Keys.
Most builders hand you off—architect here, engineer there, contractor last. We do not. South Eastern General Contracting, Inc. brings architecture, engineering, drafting, and construction under one roof. You get one point of responsibility, one schedule, and one team that owns the outcome.
The Process, Start to Finish
DISCOVER — We sit down, walk your land—or help you evaluate it—and define your vision, needs, and budget honestly.
DESIGN — Our in-house design team produces architectural plans for a design fee of $3.00 per heated square foot, including photo-real 3D renderings and virtual walk-throughs before construction begins.
PRICE — Because the builder is in the room during design, plans are aligned to the budget from day one. Custom home construction typically runs $250–$350 per heated square foot for build cost only; land is separate.
BUILD — The same team that designed it builds it, with a dedicated superintendent and documented progress updates.
What You Avoid with Design-Build
No blame games. The designer and builder are one accountable team.
No budget shock. Plans are priced while they are drawn.
No lost months. Design and pre-construction can overlap.
See it before you build it. Make changes in a 3D walk-through, not after framing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does design/build cost?
The design fee is $3.00 per heated square foot and includes full plans, 3D renderings, and virtual walk-throughs. Construction typically runs $250–$350 per heated square foot depending on finishes and complexity; this is build cost only and land is separate.
Do you build on my land?
Yes. Most of our custom homes are built on land our clients already own within our service area. We can also help you evaluate land before you buy.
How is design/build different from hiring an architect and then a builder?
You have one contract, one team, and one point of responsibility. Plans are priced while they are drawn, which keeps design and construction aligned.
How long does the design phase take?
A typical design phase is about 6–10 weeks from kickoff to permit-ready plans, depending on complexity and revision rounds.
Do you do commercial design/build?
Yes. We provide design-build delivery for offices, retail, churches, metal buildings, and federal and DoD facilities.
