One of the best parts of building a custom home should be the excitement, not the uncertainty! At Meritus, we believe you should feel just as confident about your investment as you do about the home itself. That’s why we’re proud to be one of the few custom home builders serving the South Carolina Upstate, the Lowcountry and western North Carolina to offer fixed-price building.

“They make you feel like you’re a part of the Meritus family.”
The advantage of working with a fixed-price builder is simple: once your contract price is established, that’s the price you’ll pay. The only time your investment changes is when you choose to make changes to your home through a written Change Order that clearly defines the scope and cost of the work. It’s a straightforward approach that provides confidence, transparency and peace of mind throughout the building process.
Fixed Price vs. Cost-Plus
Unlike cost-plus construction, where the final price can change as selections and project costs evolve, fixed-price building gives you greater certainty from the very beginning. Our responsibility is to help you maximize quality, craftsmanship and value while staying within the agreed-upon investment. We believe that’s simply a better way to build.
Together, we’ll establish an investment range that fits comfortably within your budget. Drawing on more than 50 years of combined experience, the Meritus team carefully plans every aspect of your home before construction begins. From the comfort of the Meritus Design Center, you’ll select flooring, cabinetry, lighting, fixtures, trim and finishes that reflect your personal style while keeping your project aligned with your budget.
Managing Your Investment
Once construction begins, it’s our responsibility to manage every detail with the same care we used to plan it. We continually monitor quality, scheduling and costs to ensure your home is delivered as promised, without compromising the craftsmanship and attention to detail that define every Meritus home.
With fewer financial surprises and greater confidence in every decision, you’re free to enjoy one of life’s most rewarding experiences: watching your dream home become reality. Our goal is to minimize surprises, exceed expectations and build relationships that last long after you’ve moved in. That’s the peace of mind fixed-price building was designed to provide.
