Your Guide to Building a Custom Home in Central Idaho

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) offer homeowners a secondary housing on their primary residence’s lot.

We build your ADU along with your primary HiLine home.

Our custom home floor plans for multigenerational households are thoughtfully created to balance shared living with personal space. With common areas, dual primary suites, and multiple bathrooms, we help families stay connected without sacrificing comfort.

“We were treated great from the get-go and we started looking at pricing, options, and saw that this was something that could really happen. That HiLine could make it possible for us to build a house. The build went really well and it was actually done two months faster than projected!”

“HiLine’s level of customer service was way above what we experienced with their competitor and the floorplans really sold themselves. The first time we met HiLine, they clarified all our questions and it just felt like, “Okay, it’s meant to be!” We really liked it!”

“We looked at several home builders and ultimately we liked HiLine’s simple, open floorplans and the variety of what they had to offer. We’d heard from friends that building your own home was full of pitfalls and nightmare after nightmare but it all went very smoothly.”

“The quality of construction after going through the process of looking at HiLine’s competitors, I was convinced to go with HiLine for as much the product as the price. Any questions or problems that I head were dealt with immediately, they did a great job!”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
