Start with four decisions: budget, lot, layout, and builder. Mike Simon Construction Corp. brings in the builder first so the rest is grounded in real costs. From there, we help assemble your team, pull permits, and finalize plans. Call 757-575-1882 for a no-obligation consultation.

A new home in Virginia Beach typically takes 6 months to 2 years. Plan on two years for a true custom build. The timeline depends on the size of the job, permit review, and how many trades are involved. We keep our project count low so each build gets full attention.

It comes down to the condition of the existing house and your budget. If the structure is sound, a renovation or addition usually costs less per square foot. If the home is deteriorating or the layout can't support what you need, building new is often the better value. We'll price both.

Yes. Mike Simon Construction Corp. reviews lots before you buy — drainage, soil, setbacks, utility access, and flood zone — so you don't pay for land that's expensive to build on. We serve Virginia Beach and Coastal Virginia.

Talk to a builder first. A lot that looks buildable can carry costs you won't see on a listing: fill, drainage, tree removal, or utility runs. If you already own land, that's fine — we'll evaluate conditions and prepare the site for construction.

Blueprints drive the accuracy of your estimate. The more detail they carry, the tighter the number. We review plans line by line with you before pricing so you understand the design and there are no surprises in the bid.

Search for local builders, then filter by reviews, licensing, and whether they actually build the type of project you want. Book two or three consultations and ask each one how they handle scheduling, change orders, and draws. Mike Simon Construction Corp. serves Virginia Beach and Coastal Virginia.
