Every project is unique, but most new custom homes take 10–14 months from design through move-in. The exact timeline depends on factors like square footage, complexity of the floor plan, and material selections. Our team will provide you with a clear schedule at the start of your project so you know what to expect every step of the way.
Serving Corvallis, North Albany, Philomath and the Oregon Coast
Build the home you've always imagined.
Building a custom home is about more than square footage and floor plans. It’s about creating a living experience that feels uniquely yours.
At Schweitzer Design & Build, we guide you every step of the way so you don’t have to compromise on location, layout, or lifestyle. Whether you’re dreaming of a modern farmhouse, a timeless craftsman, or something entirely your own, our new home construction design team brings your vision to life.
Why Build a Custom Home?
Finding the right house in Corvallis isn’t easy. Many existing homes are outdated, don’t fit your family’s needs, or feel too cookie-cutter. With a new custom home, you no longer have to choose between location and design. You get the perfect home tailored to your lifestyle.
"A custom home represents the ultimate in choice, selection, and flexibility. But with so many decisions to make, it can also feel overwhelming. That’s why our clients appreciate that we lead them through the entire process." — Ryan Schweitzer, Owner & General Contractor
