How HiLine Homes Makes Building a Custom Home in Central Idaho Affordable
At HiLine Homes, we offer custom home builds without the custom price tag. Our process is intentionally designed to provide affordable homes with a range of custom and standard features to choose from. Together with our equity-building pathways, we help homeowners build value without sacrificing quality.
With nearly 30 years of experience in on-your-lot custom home building, HiLine Homes understands the unique needs of homeowners in Blaine, Butte, and other counties in Central Idaho. Our team is highly familiar with Idaho building codes, land development requirements, and regional home preferences.
- Multi-Point Quality Control for Every Phase of Construction
We implement a Multi-Point Quality Control system at every stage of your custom home construction to ensure consistent fine craftsmanship. This added layer of quality assurance provides confidence that your home is built right the first time. In addition, our local contractors use durable, energy-efficient materials designed to perform through Idaho’s seasons.
- Price-Lock Guarantee for Transparent Custom Home Costs
We guarantee that the quoted price for your home remains the same under two conditions: construction begins within 120 days and progress continues with consistent progress throughout. Through our guarantee, we lock in your custom home costs to protect you from volatility in Idaho construction costs.
- Equity-Building Pathways Designed for Long-Term Value
We offer a pathway to build equity. Through our unique custom home-building process, homeowners contribute their own labor during construction. By being part of the construction process, homeowners not only learn more about their home but also reduce overall costs.
- Financing Support Through Our Approved Lenders Network
We are partnered with a trusted network of approved lenders who specialize in loan programs for custom home construction. Many offer up to 100% financing to qualified homeowners, which helps reduce your upfront costs.

A Closer Look at the HiLine Homebuilding Process
At HiLine Homes, we provide a comprehensive range of services to build your home. From consultation to construction, we also offer required sweat-equity building pathways that allow homeowners to actively contribute to their home’s value. Here is the general process that you can expect when you partner with us.
- 1. Securing a Buildable Lot
If you don’t have land yet, your HiLine Homes Consultant will provide you with resources on the list of local land agents who will help you find a buildable lot that suits your needs. Once you have cleared your lot for construction, our Land Evaluation services will measure its slope to help you prepare the foundation costs.
- 2. Planning & Customization
HiLine Homes offers over 50 flexible home plans that are fully customizable to suit your lot size, lifestyle, and long-term goals. Each home plan has different perks, from outdoor patios and media rooms to garage configurations and flex rooms.
- 3. Permitting
Your HiLine Homes Consultant can provide you with a list of permitting requirements, including where to go and who to contact to obtain them. This ensures your project is fully compliant with Idaho construction codes.
- 4. Construction & Project Management
Once construction begins, your assigned Project Manager takes the lead. They will oversee each phase from foundation work to final walkthrough. This ensures that your custom home is built to exact standards and expectations. See our construction timeline for more information.
