How much does it cost to build a custom coastal home in Pensacola?

Costs vary by size, design, and materials. Along the Emerald Coast, many custom homes start around $250–$300 per square foot, with hurricane-resistant upgrades and luxury finishes increasing the total. Sugar Sands provides detailed, line-item estimates during your Discovery Call.

What’s the difference between a Florida Certified Builder and a general contractor?

A Florida Certified Builder holds advanced state licensing to manage all phases of homebuilding and ensure compliance with Florida’s coastal building codes. This specialized training is especially important for hurricane readiness. Sugar Sands Construction is a Florida Certified Builder (CBC1268076).

How long does it take to build a custom home in Milton, Navarre, or Pensacola?

Most custom builds take approximately 9–14 months depending on design complexity, permitting timelines, and material lead times. Sugar Sands keeps you updated with a concierge-style process from design through final walk-through.

Are coastal homes designed differently than inland homes?

Yes. Coastal homes often include elevated foundations, hurricane-rated openings, corrosion-resistant materials for salt air, and structural systems engineered for high winds and storm surge. Sugar Sands blends these requirements with luxury design and finishes.

Can you help with permits and inspections?

Absolutely. Sugar Sands manages permitting, code compliance, and inspections so your project stays on schedule and stress-free.
