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

    Episode 2 of our 12,000 sq ft, two-story concrete block custom home build on a gulf-access waterfront lot in Southwest Cape Coral, Florida. Today the concrete trucks are on site pouring the beam on top of the second-floor walls, which ties both levels into one solid, hurricane-strong concrete shell.

📍 Follow this build from start to finish (photos, timeline and every episode):
https://lauren-homes.com/custom-home-projects/cape-coral-waterfront-estate-custom-home/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=cape-coral-estate-build

In this episode, Fred Price of Lauren Homes covers:
• Why this home uses concrete block exterior walls on BOTH floors instead of switching to wood framing upstairs
• Checking every window and door opening before the beam is poured
• The hurricane straps set into the beam that will tie down the roof trusses
• Why the roof lumber package is staged now, but the trusses can't arrive until the pour is done
• How coordinating material and labor keeps a large custom home on schedule

    Pouring the Second-Floor Beam on a 12,000 Sq Ft Concrete Block Home | Cape Coral Build Ep. 2
    Our clients can see their building schedule online, so they always know what's happening on their home build, even from out of state. On this 12,000 sq ft two-story concrete block home in Cape Coral, the roof lumber is already on site before the second-floor beam is poured. That way the crew can start the roof the day the trusses arrive. A well-run project takes the stress out of building and makes for happy clients.

Love to entertain but don't want your guests staring at the dirty dishes? This custom kitchen we just completed has its own butler's pantry: a second work space with its own sink, counters and storage, tucked around the corner so the main kitchen stays picture-ready while the prep and cleanup happen out of sight.

What you're seeing in this kitchen:
- Butler's pantry with a prep sink, quartz countertops and under-cabinet lighting
- Oversized quartz island with seating for the whole family
- Pro-style gas rangetop with a griddle, a pot filler and a custom range hood
- Full-height quartz slab backsplash
- Built-in refrigerator and double wall ovens
- Glass-front upper cabinets, crystal chandeliers and a beamed ceiling

Is a butler's pantry worth it? If you host holidays, cook for a crowd or just like a clean kitchen when company walks in, it is one of the most-requested features in the custom homes we build. Because every Lauren Homes kitchen is designed around how you live, we can plan one into almost any floor plan, sized to fit your lot and your budget.

Lauren Homes builds custom homes on your lot in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, North Fort Myers, Alva and Punta Gorda, with fixed-price contracts and a lot evaluation before you commit. Building in Southwest Florida since 2013.

    Wow Kitchen with Butler's Pantry in Southwest Florida Custom Home
    How do floor trusses attach in a two-story concrete block home? A 2x12 ledger is bolted into the solid-poured concrete tie beam, each floor truss sits on that ledger in a steel hanger, and interior load-bearing walls carry the rest of the load. That lets the second floor be concrete block too, instead of wood frame, for a stronger hurricane-resistant shell.

    Own a vacant lot in Southwest Florida that you no longer plan to build on? Lauren Homes, a licensed Cape Coral home builder, is buying select residential lots directly from owners for future homes.

TELL FRED PRICE ABOUT YOUR LOT (owners only):
https://lauren-homes.com/sell-your-lot-southwest-florida/

The form on that page is the only way to submit a lot. Fred reviews every eligible submission personally.

WHO WE BUY FROM
- The current owner of the property, contacting us on their own behalf
- Often owners who bought a lot years ago, inherited one, or live out of state and no longer plan to build
- We do NOT accept inquiries from wholesalers, people assigning contracts, or real estate agents representing sellers

HOW IT WORKS
1. Submit your lot address or parcel ID and asking price at the link above
2. Fred Price reviews the location and lot details
3. If it may be a fit, we can make a cash offer and discuss a quick, straightforward closing through a title company

Not every property will fit what we are looking for, and submitting a lot does not guarantee an offer.

Areas: Cape Coral, North Fort Myers, Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres, Punta Gorda and Alva, Florida.
