⚠ REVIEW BEFORE PUBLISHING Home size, pool, seawall and feature pricing are Lauren Homes' real PriceGuide figures. Three things still need Fred's numbers: pricing above 2,700 sq ft, the finish-level multipliers, and lot fill. Set DRAFT_PRICING to false to remove this banner.
Lauren Homes · Southwest Florida

What will your home cost to build?

About two minutes. Answer a few questions about the home you want and we'll show you a real range — built on what we actually charge in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Alva and Punta Gorda, not a national average.

Where you're building1 of 8

Where are you building?

Site conditions, hauling distance and permitting all differ by area.

Do you have a lot yet?

We build on your lot. If you don't have one, we help you find one — that's a normal place to start.

What kind of lot is it?

How big, roughly?

Living area under air — garage and lanai are counted separately.

2,400
square feet under air
1,800 sq ft5,000 sq ft
Above 2,700 sq ft we'd rather talk than guess. You'll still get a range, but a home this size deserves a real conversation about your lot and your plan.

One of our plans, or fully custom?

Our plans are proven in this market and move faster. Custom gives you exactly what you want.

Which one caught your eye? Optional.

What level of finish?

Every Lauren Homes home starts with impact windows, a metal roof and spray foam. These levels are about what goes inside.

Included in every Lauren Homes home

  • Impact-resistant windows and doors
  • Metal roof
  • Spray-foam insulation
  • Quartz countertops
  • Dovetail, soft-close cabinetry
  • 8-foot interior doors
  • Paver driveway and lanai
  • Epoxy garage floor

Pool and outdoor living

This is Florida. Pick everything you'd want — tap again to remove.

Anything else?

Pick everything that applies. Most of these are things buyers wish they'd asked about earlier.

Waterfront — seawall and dock

Last few questions

These don't change the estimate. They tell us how to help you next.

When would you like to be in the house?

How are you planning to pay for it?

We'll introduce you to Sean or Randy at Fairview. They handle construction loans in Southwest Florida and know how our draw schedule works, which saves real time later. No obligation, and you're free to use your own lender — plenty of our clients do.

Do you need to sell your current home first?

Where should we send your estimate?

Your numbers are ready. We put estimates in writing and stand behind them, so we send them to a real person rather than putting a number on a screen and hoping it was understood.

Give us the address and we'll pull the flood zone, setbacks and utility availability before we talk. That's usually where the surprises hide.

You'll see your full range and the line-by-line breakdown on the next screen. We'll follow up once. No daily emails — tell us to stop at any time and we will.

    Tips To Survive A Home Build

    From Blueprints To The Keys

    What should a quality home builder inspect before pouring a concrete slab?

In this video, the plumber working with Lauren Homes explains the underground plumbing checks completed before the slab is poured on a new custom home in Southwest Florida.

The underground plumbing inspection includes checking that:

✅ PVC connections are properly primed and glued
✅ The correct drainage fittings are installed
✅ Drain lines maintain a consistent slope without low spots
✅ Three-inch drainpipe has the required ⅛-inch-per-foot slope
✅ Two-inch drainpipe has the required ¼-inch-per-foot slope
✅ Shower drains and other plumbing locations match the home plans
✅ The shower drain has enough adjustability for minor positioning corrections
✅ The drainage system passes a five-foot water test without leaking

Once the concrete slab is poured, these pipes will be underneath the home. That is why the underground plumbing must be carefully installed, tested and inspected before it is covered.

Building a quality custom home takes more than attractive plans and finishes. It requires experienced subcontractors, clear communication and long-term relationships with plumbers, electricians, concrete crews and other tradespeople who care about doing the job correctly.

At Lauren Homes, we work closely with our trusted trade partners to catch the small details before they become expensive problems. This behind-the-scenes quality control helps us build dependable custom homes for families throughout Cape Coral and Southwest Florida.

    Plumbing Rough-In Checks on a New Home Build | SW Florida Builder
    Building a new home in Florida? The concrete slab and masonry stages are some of the most important parts of the entire home-building process—and mistakes made now can be difficult and expensive to correct later.

In this video, we explain what homeowners and builders should be checking when working with concrete and masonry contractors during new home construction. From the concrete slab and block walls to workmanship, measurements, openings, and quality-control items, knowing what to look for can help prevent problems before the project moves on to the next stage.

At Lauren Homes, we specialize in custom home building on your lot throughout Cape Coral, Fort Myers, and surrounding SWFL areas. From selecting the right floor plan to understanding construction costs and financing, we help guide you through the entire process.

    Concrete & Masonry Mistakes to Avoid When Building a House in Florida
    If you’re building a custom home, the sky is the limit for everything including the toilet! This toilet offers so many features it’s like a mini robot. If you’re building a new home, you could select anything you’d like to put in but it does come at a price. The $6000 toilet has LED lights, automatic, deodorizer lid, opening and flushing automatically and much more!

    When you're building a custom home in Southwest Florida, it's the details behind the walls that make the biggest difference.

Most builders simply tape HVAC duct joints. At Lauren Homes, we go a step further by sealing every duct connection with mastic sealant, creating a tighter air distribution system that helps reduce air leaks, improves efficiency, and delivers more consistent comfort throughout your home.

These are the hidden upgrades most homeowners never see—but they'll appreciate every month on their energy bills.

    Most homeowners never see this part of the building process—but it's one of the most important. Before drywall goes up, we verify every cabinet location, appliance opening, plumbing connection, and electrical placement to ensure your kitchen is built exactly as designed.

At Lauren Homes, attention to detail is what separates a custom home from a production home. If you're looking to build on your lot in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, North Fort Myers, Punta Gorda, or anywhere in Southwest Florida, we'd love to show you our process.

    Avoid Cabinet Mistakes on New Construction building in Cape Coral
    This slab and garage area took 10 full truckloads of concrete and was 100 yards poured in a day. The next day we will bring in and pour the back and eye which you’ll see covered in plastic and also the front lanai area. Huge custom home slab for a two-story project on golf access water in Cape Coral, Florida..
    What 100 yards of concrete gets you on a custom home #laurenhomes #newhomebuild #buildonyourlot
    Have you ever heard your builder say your home is "being trimmed out" and wondered what that actually means?

In this quick construction update, I'll explain three major milestones that happen during the trim-out phase of a custom home:

✔️ Cabinet installation
✔️ Hanging interior doors
✔️ Installing door casing and trim

These finishing details transform a house from rough construction into a home that's starting to come together. If you're building a custom home in Southwest Florida—or simply enjoy learning about the home building process—follow along as we explain each stage from foundation to final walkthrough.

At Lauren Homes, we specialize in custom home building on your lot throughout Cape Coral, Fort Myers, and surrounding SWFL areas. From selecting the right floor plan to understanding construction costs and financing, we help guide you through the entire process.
