New Construction on Your Lot
A Custom Home Builder for Baton Rouge Lots and Flood Zones
A new house is the biggest thing most people ever buy. You should understand every step before it starts.
Building a house in south Louisiana starts with the ground. The lot's flood zone, how high the floor has to sit, and how the land drains shape the plan before a single board is cut. We build new homes around Baton Rouge on lots our customers already own — single-family houses, plus townhomes and duplexes for owners building to rent.
Bobby Smith has 19 years of construction experience and runs your build himself, from the foundation pour through framing to the final coat of paint. You get a written scope, a schedule, and regular updates on where things stand. New to the process? Our guide to building permits in East Baton Rouge Parish explains what gets filed and when.

Before You Build
Common Worries About Building a Custom Home in Baton Rouge
Most people have never built a house before. These are the worries we hear first, and how we handle them.
-
Going Over the Building Budget
Every allowance is written down up front, and changes are priced before the work is done.
-
Building in a Flood Zone
We check the flood map and required floor height for your lot before plans are drawn.
-
Not Knowing What Happens Next
You get a schedule at the start and a call whenever something on it moves.
-
Delays From Rain and Weather
Louisiana rain stops concrete and framing. We plan the order of work around it.
-
Choosing the Wrong Home Builder
Our Louisiana license number is public, and you can look it up with the state board.

Building in South Louisiana
Local Conditions Every Baton Rouge Home Builder Has to Plan Around
Water, soil, and wind decide a lot about how a house here should be built.
Base Flood Elevation
Lots in mapped flood zones need the floor built above a set height. We confirm it first.
Slab or Raised Foundation
Slabs cost less on high, dry lots. Raised foundations make sense where water is a concern.
Soft Clay Soil and Drainage
Soil here holds water and shifts. Proper fill, compaction, and grading keep the foundation steady.
Framing for Hurricane Wind
Straps, anchors, and nailing patterns tie the roof to the walls and the walls to the foundation.
New Construction Permits and Inspections
We handle parish filings and meet inspectors at the foundation, framing, and final stages.
Townhomes and Duplexes
Multi-family builds need fire-rated walls between units and separate meters, planned from the start.

Reviews of Our Baton Rouge Construction Work
"I was in need of someone to help bring my investment property back to life. I called around and couldn’t really find anyone to work with my budget because a lot of my money went into the properties. I was just searching and searching and I came across this company. Bobby was very understanding, great ideas, understood my problem, and we found a solution together that would make both of us happy and I am proud to say that the project is finished and will soon be working on my next investment properties and will definitely be giving Bobby a call"
"I used Precise Design Construction for my investment property. This was only the second property that I have purchased and rehabbed. The first time my experience was not good, but that was due to my contractor. This time around, I used Precise Design Construction, and they were with me step by step in this process. The best part was their communication, professionalism and of quality of work. I highly recommend them and will be using them with my next purchase again."
Home Building Questions
Custom Home Builder FAQs
Do I need to own land before I call you about building a house?
It helps, but it isn't required. If you already have a lot, we start by walking it. If you're still shopping, we can look at a lot with you before you buy and point out flood zone, drainage, and fill concerns that would add to the cost of building.
How long does it take to build a custom home in the Baton Rouge area?
Most single-family homes take several months to a year once permits are issued. Size, how custom the plan is, and weather all play a part. Rain during foundation and framing is the most common slowdown here. You'll get a schedule up front and updates as it changes.
Do you draw the house plans, or do I bring my own?
Bring your own, or bring an idea. If you have stock plans or drawings from a designer or architect, we build from those. If you're starting from a sketch, we'll point you to a drafter or architect, then review the plans for cost before they're final.
How high does my new house have to be built in a flood zone?
It depends on the lot. FEMA flood maps set a base flood elevation, and the parish requires the finished floor to sit at or above a set height tied to it. An elevation certificate from a surveyor confirms the number. We sort this out before any plans are finalized.
Do you build duplexes and townhomes for investors?
Yes. We build multi-family projects like duplexes and townhomes as well as single-family houses. Zoning decides what a lot allows, so we check that first. These builds also need fire-rated walls between units and separate utility meters, which we plan into the price from day one.
