I would encourage anyone interested in building a new home to research the builder they are going to use. The Rasch Family and the Benchmark team will always do what is right and fair. That can be tough to come by in the homebuilding industry! I highly recommend Benchmark as a quality and reputable builder.

We had the pleasure of working with Benchmark Custom Home Builders on a couple custom homes, and the quality of their work truly stands out. Their craftsmanship is exceptional — every detail feels intentional, refined, and completed with care. Benchmark does a beautiful job balancing classic design elements with current trends, especially in the lighting, hardware, and finish selections. The final result was stunning and photographed incredibly well. Just as importantly, the team was wonderful to work with — professional, responsive, and easy to collaborate with throughout the process. If you’re looking for a builder who delivers high-quality work and thoughtful finishes, I highly recommend Benchmark. — Melinda Christman, Olive + Opal Interiors

The team at Benchmark is incredibly easy to work with. They listen attentively, offer thoughtful suggestions without ever pushing their own agenda, are straightforward and collaborative. What truly stands out, though, is how much emphasis Benchmark places on building relationships based on trust. Working with people you genuinely trust makes all the difference. The Benchmark team earned our trust through their integrity, attention to detail, and professionalism. I wholeheartedly recommend Benchmark Custom Homes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do design and construction take?

The design phase typically takes 3–5 months, depending on the home’s complexity and how quickly decisions are made. After the foundation has been poured and backfilled, construction is expected to take eight to twelve months; weather and the home’s complexity can affect the timeline.

How does Benchmark keep clients updated during a build?

It sends weekly updates during construction and invites clients to walkthroughs at key construction milestones.

How long can the construction permit process take?

After the contract is signed, Benchmark applies to the municipality for a construction permit. The process can take approximately two to four weeks or longer, depending on the municipality.

What design support is included with finish selections?

After the architectural design is complete, the process includes up to 25 hours of support from a dedicated interior designer to guide finish selections.

Can clients make changes after construction starts?

Yes. Late-stage changes may affect the timeline and cost.
