Q: What's the difference between a custom home and a production home in Minnetonka?

A production builder offers a set of floor plans you choose from, with limited options. A custom home is designed from a blank page around your family, your lot, and how you actually live. The cost-per-square-foot is generally higher for custom work, but you get a home that fits — rather than one you adapt to fit you. For homeowners staying long term in Minnetonka, that difference shows up every day. Boyer Building is a custom home builder.

Q: How long does a custom home take to build in Minnetonka?

A custom home typically takes 12 to 18 months from the start of design to the day you move in. That timeline depends on the size and complexity of the home, the design decisions made along the way, lot conditions, and the permitting process in Minnetonka. We give you a realistic schedule early in the process and update it at every major milestone.

Q: Does Boyer Building build custom homes?

Yes. We design and build custom homes in the Twin Cities and the surrounding western suburbs. This includes tear-down-and-rebuild projects on existing lots, new builds on land you already own, and homes built on lots we periodically have available. Every custom home we build is designed around how the family actually intends to live in it — not pulled from a stock plan book.
