Custom Home Builder in Huntington, NY

Building new in Huntington
Most Huntington new-builds are teardowns on established lots, which means demolition permits, tree protection and neighbours fifteen feet away. We phase the noisy work around the school run.
Ground-up single-family construction from the site survey to the certificate of occupancy, including raised, flood-compliant foundations where the map calls for them.
We take a Huntington new build from survey to certificate of occupancy: soil and sanitary, engineering, foundation, framing, envelope, full interior fit and every utility connection along the way.
- Permit filed with Town of Huntington Department of Engineering Services, and jurisdiction confirmed before drawings
- Site survey, soil, sanitary and flood-elevation coordination
- Architect and structural engineer management from concept on
- Foundation, framing, envelope and full interior fit-out
- Flood-compliant and coastal construction where the parcel requires it
- Utility service coordination, including long-lead electrical
- Certificate of occupancy, warranties and close-out documents in one package
- No flood-map complication on most Huntington parcels — we confirm it anyway
What you can
actually build
on a Huntington lot.
On a new build the buildable envelope is decided before the architect starts: by town of Huntington Department of Engineering Services, by the flood map, and by whatever Huntington specifically restricts. We establish all three in week one.
- Who approves a new build
- Town of Huntington Department of Engineering Services
Huntington hamlet is unincorporated, so the Town files it. If your address sits inside Huntington Bay, Lloyd Harbor or Asharoken, that village reviews the application instead and the calendar changes.
- What the flood map dictates
Inland Huntington is well clear of the flood maps. Anything down by the harbor or Mill Dam Road needs the elevation certificate pulled before design starts.
- What limits the envelope
Historic district review applies to a surprising number of Main Street and Park Avenue properties. Finding that out after the drawings are done costs a month.
Huntington
questions,
answered.
Can you build a new house in Huntington?
Yes, ground up. Most Huntington new-builds are teardowns on established lots, which means demolition permits, tree protection and neighbours fifteen feet away. We phase the noisy work around the school run.
Will a Huntington new build need a raised or flood-compliant foundation?
Inland Huntington is well clear of the flood maps. Anything down by the harbor or Mill Dam Road needs the elevation certificate pulled before design starts. If the parcel is mapped, the base flood elevation sets your first floor height and the entire design follows from that, not the other way round.
What limits how big I can build in Huntington?
Historic district review applies to a surprising number of Main Street and Park Avenue properties. Finding that out after the drawings are done costs a month. Lot coverage, setbacks and whatever town of Huntington Department of Engineering Services enforces locally usually cap the house well before the budget does. We calculate the real buildable envelope before an architect starts drawing.
Who handles drawings and approvals?
We do. We bring in the architect and structural engineer, coordinate the survey and sanitary design, file with Town of Huntington Department of Engineering Services, and carry the application through plan review and any variance it needs.
How long does a custom home take?
Typically ten to fourteen months on site once permits are in hand, plus the approval period, which in Huntington depends heavily on town of Huntington Department of Engineering Services and the complexity of the site. We give you a real schedule, not an optimistic one.
