FAQ
At Whitehall Building & Company, we’ve helped hundreds of clients turn their custom home dreams into reality. Below are answers to the most common questions we hear from homeowners exploring the custom home process in Anne Arundel and Montgomery Counties.
Can you build on a lot I already own?
Yes. Whether it’s raw land or a teardown, we’re happy to assess your site and guide you through the full build process with a fixed-price contract and clear milestones.
Do you help find waterfront lots, tear-downs, or in-fill sites?
Yes—we often help clients identify and evaluate land or existing homes for teardown in Anne Arundel County and Montgomery County. From off-market opportunities to zoning checks, we guide you before you buy to ensure the site fits your goals.
Do I need to hire an architect first?
No, many clients use our design-build approach, where we handle everything from concept to construction. If you already have plans, we can step in to value-engineer them—refining design and budget without compromising your vision.
Do you help with financing?
Yes. We connect clients with trusted local lenders who specialize in construction-to-perm loans and lot acquisition financing, including options for any type of buildable lot.
Can you assess a property and handle permits?
Absolutely. We offer free site assessments and manage the full permitting process in the counties we serve—including the Critical Area review—so you don’t have to navigate complex local regulations alone.
How long does the build take?
Our typical construction timeline is 9 months from permit approval through completion when using our design-build process. Thanks to our structured approach, we maintain tight schedules without sacrificing quality.
What makes Whitehall different?
We bring the scale and efficiency of a production builder together with the flexibility of a custom firm—backed by deep expertise in both waterfront and in-town construction, permitting, and design. It’s luxury without the chaos.
