New Homes
Ground-up custom home construction built around your lot, your lifestyle, and the way you actually want to live — from first design meeting to final walkthrough.
Intro
Building a custom home in the Sierra Foothills comes with its own set of considerations — steep lots, well and septic systems, defensible space requirements, and county permitting that varies from Auburn to Cool to Georgetown. Marksman Builders has been navigating those conditions since 1983, working alongside local architects and designers to turn a piece of property into a home that fits how you live.
We manage every phase in-house, so you have one point of contact throughout the build — not a rotating cast of subcontractors and separate project managers.
What’s Included
Our Custom Home Process
- Site & Lot Evaluation — Understanding your property’s grade, access, utilities, and any county-specific building requirements before design begins.
- Design Coordination — We work with your architect or designer (or can recommend one) to translate plans into a buildable, budget-aware home.
- Permitting — We handle the permitting process with local building departments across Placer, El Dorado, Nevada, and Sacramento counties.
- Construction — In-house project management from foundation to finish, with regular updates so you always know what’s next.
- Final Walkthrough — A detailed walkthrough before move-in to make sure every detail is right.
