— Common Questions

Questions we get
before the first nail.

Straight answers about cost, timeline, and how we work in Augusta, Georgia.

How much does it cost to build a custom home in Augusta, Georgia?

The cost depends on the design, finish level, site conditions, and scope of work. Start with a consultation so we can discuss your plans and prepare a project-specific estimate. A square-foot allowance alone is not a construction quote.

How long does it take to build a custom home?

Your schedule depends on design readiness, permitting, site conditions, material lead times, and the scope of construction. We discuss those stages during planning and develop a project-specific schedule rather than promise a move-in date before the work is defined.

What areas does 8th Street Construction serve?

8th Street Construction builds throughout Augusta and the CSRA, including Evans, Martinez, Grovetown, North Augusta, Columbia County, and Aiken.

What is design-build, and why does it matter?

Design-build means one company is accountable for both the design and the construction of a project, instead of an architect and a builder holding separate contracts. It brings design decisions and construction planning into the same conversation, so scope, cost, and responsibilities can be reviewed together.

Does 8th Street Construction do commercial work as well as homes?

Yes. 8th Street Construction handles commercial construction and tenant buildouts alongside custom homes and residential renovations, across the Augusta and CSRA market.

Do you work on historic homes and restorations?

Yes. Historic restoration is part of the work, which in Augusta often means matching original millwork and detailing while bringing systems up to current code.

How do you handle changes once construction has started?

Changes are priced and approved as written change orders before the work happens. Each one is tied to the affected line of the project's cost plan, so the running budget reflects the change immediately rather than at the end.

Can I see where my project stands while it is being built?

Your private project portal brings together the updates, schedules, documents, and decisions your team has reviewed and shared. Your team will explain the features available for your project and help you get started.
