Homes of consequence, built in the open.
Regal is an owner-led custom builder. One principal on every site, a cost-plus contract you can read line by line, and a build process our clients can follow from demolition to the day the keys change hands.
Most builders sell a finished house. We sell a way of building one.
A custom home at this level is a two-year relationship and an eight-figure decision. What you are really buying is judgment: who is on site, what they tell you, and whether the numbers you see are the numbers that exist. Regal was built around three commitments that most firms in this market will not put in writing.
Meet the principal
Open-book, cost-plus
Every invoice, every subcontractor bid, every change order lives in your project portal. Our fee is a fixed percentage of actual cost, agreed before we start. There is no markup hidden in an allowance and no incentive for us to spend your money badly.
Owner-led, every day
The person who signed your contract is the person walking your site. No handoff to a project manager you have never met. Decisions get made in hours, not at the next scheduled meeting.
A documented build
Two hundred-plus checkpoints from demolition to certificate of occupancy, tracked in real time. You will always know which phase you are in, what is next, and what it needs from you.
What a Regal client sees that the public does not.
Behind the login: a cost-plus estimator that shows exactly how a budget is built, a live phase tracker for your home, a feasibility desk for the next lot you are considering, and a weekly site diary from the principal. Prospective clients can request preview access.
"Most of what goes wrong on a custom build goes wrong in the dark. I run the job with the lights on."

Thinking about a lot, a teardown, or a house you have already fallen for?
The first conversation costs nothing and usually saves a great deal.
