Build on your lot in Vero Beach.
Own a lot, or still looking for the right one? Either way, the first questions are the same: what the lot will ask of the home, and what the home will ask of the budget. Here is how we answer both.
Start with the lot, not the floor plan
Every Builders East project begins with the Preliminary Project Evaluation - the PPE. It is an analysis of where your project currently sits and what it needs, and it ends with initial bid and scope documents you can react to. On a lot you already own, the site comes first: elevation, access, utilities, and the review requirements of the community around it.
Barrier island or mainland
Building east of the Indian River Lagoon, in the island's 32963 ZIP code, means coastal flood-zone elevations, wind-load engineering, and - in communities like John's Island, Windsor, and Orchid Island - architectural review boards that approve a design before it is permitted.
Builders East builds only on the barrier island, in the communities on our map. If you are still weighing an island lot against one on the mainland, we are candid about the trade-offs - and the evaluation names exactly which island requirements apply to your address.
Still deciding between lots
You do not need to own the land to start the conversation. The evaluation works just as well on a lot you are considering as on one you own - and a builder's read of a property, before you close, is often the least expensive diligence in the whole project.
