FAQs
Do I need to own my own property?
Yes. We can assist in identifying properties available in the area you would like build.
Do you use your own people for the construction process?
Approximately 60% of construction will be with our own crews with the remainder sub-contracted out to trusted and licensed companies.
Do you only build from existing floor plans or can I use my own?
You can utilize ours, bring your own or we can create a unique design based on your needs and preferences.
How do you communicate with purchasers who reside out of the area?
We have built many homes and renovations for buyers living out of the area. We manage and communicate the status of the build through a variety of media such as phone, text, e-mails, PDF and photography.
Is price per square foot a valid way to estimate the cost of a custom home build?
A price per square foot cost is a good way to have a general estimate of a cost. The final determinate will be based on close consultation with your builder that will include plans, building materials, labor, subcontract bids, lot preparation, interior finishes etc.
How long will it take to build our home?
A normal build time is between 3-6 months but at times longer depending on the extent of the customization.

Final cost will be determined when all line items are agreed upon and priced appropriately.

All Rourke homes have 12-month warranty included in the purchase. Rourke Builders has been building homes for satisfied customers for over 40 years. We have always gone above and beyond to do what it takes to make the home purchase one that meets your every expectation.
Financing Your Project
Rourke Builders will guide you through ever step of your new home building or renovating experience, including financing. Loans and financing available to buyers includes:
- Conventional
- FHA
- VA
- USDA
- Construction to Permanent
Construction-to-Permanent Loans (C2P): converts a standard mortgage once construction is completed. The borrower only pays interest during construction.
Stand-Alone Construction Loans: A short term loan that funds a home construction project. You pay the loan off when completed or apply for a mortgage.
Once you have secured your financing for the project, the building normally starts. The loan funds are not distributed all at once but rather doled out in a series of draws as construction progresses.
