Question 1

Does Four Seasons build both custom and semi-custom homes in Upstate SC?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we build both. A semi-custom home starts from a proven floor plan (ours or a stock plan you bring) and lets you personalize finishes, cabinetry, and select structural options, which keeps cost and timeline more predictable. A fully custom home is designed from scratch around your lot, lifestyle, and budget. Most Upstate families land somewhere in between, and we'll help you decide which approach fits during a free consultation.

Question 2

How much does it cost to build a new home in Upstate South Carolina?

Accepted Answer

As a 2026 ballpark, semi-custom homes in the Upstate generally run about $150–$250 per finished square foot, and fully custom homes typically run $250–$400+ per square foot depending on design complexity, finish level, and site conditions. A typical 2,200–3,000 sq ft build commonly lands between $400,000 and $1,000,000+. Land, site development (clearing, septic or sewer tap, well, driveway, grading), and high-end finishes move the number the most. We provide a line-itemed, fixed-price proposal with written allowances so you know exactly what's included.

Question 3

How long does it take to build a house?

Accepted Answer

Most Upstate SC new-construction homes take about 8–14 months from signed contract to move-in, plus a pre-construction phase of roughly 1–3 months for design, engineering, permitting, and financing. Weather, custom material lead times, county permitting timelines, and change orders are the biggest variables. We give you a realistic schedule up front and a single project manager who keeps it on track.

Question 4

Can you build on land I already own?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — we're an on-your-lot builder. If you already own land in Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, or the surrounding Upstate counties, we'll evaluate the site for buildability, utilities, septic/well or sewer access, slope, and setback requirements before you commit. If you're still shopping for a lot, we're glad to walk prospective properties with you so you don't buy land that's expensive to build on.

Question 5

Do you help with home plans, design, and financing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer full design-build for custom homes and can also build from a stock or architect-provided plan for semi-custom projects. We coordinate architectural and structural engineering, handle all permits and inspections, and work alongside your construction-to-permanent lender, providing the draw schedule and documentation banks require. You get one accountable team from first sketch to final walkthrough.

Question 6

Are you licensed and insured to build new homes, and is there a warranty?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Four Seasons Building & Remodeling is a South Carolina licensed and insured general contractor (license BS24-000560). Every home we build is covered by our written workmanship warranty in addition to the manufacturer warranties on the products, systems, and appliances we install. We walk you through all warranties in writing before construction begins.
