Looking for custom homes in Clearwater? LRG Contractors Group is a licensed Florida general contractor serving Clearwater and the surrounding Pinellas County — from Countryside, Skycrest, Morningside and beyond. Ground-up custom homes and teardown rebuilds, designed and built to Florida code.
Building a custom home in Tampa Bay is the ultimate project — and the one with the most ways to go wrong. Between flood-zone and elevation requirements, wind-load engineering, the Florida Building Code, and the sheer coordination of a ground-up build, it demands a builder who manages the whole thing as one disciplined process.
For Clearwater specifically, it comes down to local realities: Clearwater's mix of inland 1950s–70s block ranches and salt-exposed beach and Island Estates waterfront means kitchen and bath remodels here have to be specified for both dated floor plans and coastal humidity. Clearwater runs its own building department under the Florida Building Code, and the beach and Island Estates fall squarely in the wind-borne-debris and coastal high-hazard zones, so window, door, and addition work carries impact and elevation requirements. Beach condos often add HOA architectural review. We design and permit your custom homes around exactly those conditions.

Custom Homes cost
Typical Tampa Bay ranges for construction cost (land separate), not a quote. Site complexity, flood-zone elevation, finish level, and design drive the number. We develop a detailed fixed-scope budget through the design phase.
Timeline
Custom homes typically run 10–18 months from design through completion, depending on size, site, and flood-zone requirements.
