About Custom Homes
Building a custom home is the ultimate expression of your lifestyle and personality. It’s the journey of transforming a vision from sketches and ideas into a tangible space where your family will create memories for years to come. Unlike buying an existing house, the custom process allows every detail, from the layout of the rooms to the selection of finishes, to be tailored specifically to you. In Southeast Idaho, this means creating a home that not only fits your family but also embraces the unique landscape and four-season living our region offers.
At MDS Homes, we serve as your expert guide and partner on this exciting journey. We manage the complexities of new home construction, from initial site evaluation in Pocatello to final design choices in Idaho Falls, ensuring a process that is as well-crafted as the home itself. Our focus is on delivering a finished product that is a true reflection of your dreams, built with uncompromising quality and lasting value.

Popular questions
How much does a custom home cost in Southeast Idaho?
The cost is truly custom, just like the home itself! It varies widely based on size, location, design complexity, and material selections. The best way we determine cost is through our detailed pre-construction and proposal process, which aligns your specific vision with your budget.
How long does it take to build from start to finish?
While every project is unique, the physical construction phase typically takes between 7 to 10 months after the plans are finalized and permits are approved. The initial design and planning phase can take a few months prior to that.
Can I make changes during the build?
Yes, we have a structured change order process. While it’s most cost-effective to finalize decisions before construction, we understand things can come up. We ensure any changes are clearly documented and approved by you.
Do I need to own land before I talk to you?
Not at all! Many of our clients are still searching for the perfect piece of land when they come to us. We can help guide you on what to look for in a lot based on the type of home you want to build.
What kind of warranty do you offer on new homes?
We stand behind our craftsmanship with a comprehensive one-year warranty. We do a detailed walkthrough with you at completion and check in again after a year to address any warrantable items.
How involved can I be in the building process?
As involved as you want to be! We encourage collaboration. Through our BuilderTrend portal, you’ll have 24/7 access to schedules, progress photos, and communication with our team, keeping you connected every step of the way.
