Custom home construction in Ocala and Central Florida
From your lot and your plans to the keys in your hand. Ground-up custom homes built by a licensed Florida building contractor who stays involved every day.
Your home, your plan, one accountable builder
Building custom means you get the floor plan, finishes, and site you actually want instead of the closest thing on the market. It also means you need a builder who manages engineering, permitting, trades, and inspections without dropping details.
Florida Legacy Construction builds custom homes across Marion, Sumter, and Lake Counties with the owner directly involved in the project. You get transparent scopes, a realistic schedule, and a house built to Florida code with every inspection passed and documented.

Common questions
How long does a custom home take to build?
Most custom homes run eight to fourteen months from permit to certificate of occupancy depending on size and complexity. We give you a realistic schedule up front, not a sales schedule.
Do I need to own land first?
It helps, but not always. If you are still shopping for a lot, we are glad to look at candidates with you, since site conditions affect cost.
Can you work with plans I already have?
Yes. We build from your architect's plans, plan sets you have purchased, or we can help you develop plans from scratch.
How do payments work on a custom build?
Construction is paid in draws tied to completed milestones, whether you are paying cash or through a construction loan. Everything is scheduled in the contract before we break ground.
