New Construction Homes — Acadiana

A Custom Home,
Without the Wait.

PHB new construction homes are the simplest path to PHB craftsmanship — designed, planned, and built by Ray on lots throughout the Acadiana region. The vision is already underway. The architectural decisions are already made. What remains is the chance to make the home your own.

Every PHB new construction home reflects the same commitment to quality, design, and long-term livability that defines our custom Build On Your Lot projects. The difference is timeline and clarity. With a turnkey fixed price and a defined scope, you know exactly what you’re getting and what it costs before you ever sign a contract — making this the most predictable path to owning a PHB home.

PHB builds new construction homes throughout the Acadiana region — Lafayette, Youngsville, Broussard, Maurice, New Iberia, and surrounding communities. Whether you’re searching for a move-in ready home or one still under construction with selections you can influence, our portfolio of new builds gives you a clear path to a PHB home on a timeline that works for you.

Why New Construction

The Clearest Path to a PHB Home

Custom homebuilding is rewarding — but it’s also a process that takes time, decisions, and patience. New construction homes give you a different option. The hard work of design, lot evaluation, and architectural planning is already complete. What’s left is the home itself.

For buyers who want PHB quality without the longer timeline of a fully custom build, this is the path that makes the most sense. You move into a home built to PHB’s full standard, on a defined timeline, at a fixed price you knew before you committed. There’s nothing left to figure out — only the home itself, ready to become yours.

Every PHB new construction home is built with the same craftsmanship, the same attention to detail, and the same hands-on builder involvement as our custom projects. The only difference is how you experience the journey to your front door.

The PHB Standard

What’s Always Included

A PHB new construction home is never a stripped-down version of a custom build. Every home reflects the same standard you’d find in any PHB project — because we don’t cut corners depending on who’s buying.

Quality Construction

The same framing, finishes, materials, and craftsmanship standards as PHB’s full custom homes. No compromise on what’s behind the walls.

Thoughtful Design

Floor plans designed with how families actually live — natural light, functional storage, and rooms that age gracefully alongside the home.

Builder-Direct Oversight

Ray is personally involved in every PHB project, including new construction. You’re not buying from a sales team — you’re buying from the builder.

Honest, Clear Pricing

Turnkey fixed pricing with a defined scope. You know exactly what you’re getting and exactly what it costs — no surprises, no hidden line items.

Final Walkthrough Standard

Every PHB home — custom or new construction — receives the same thorough final walkthrough, punch list, and delivery process before you receive keys.

Louisiana Warranty

Every PHB home is delivered under the protections of the Louisiana New Home Warranty Act, with full coverage for workmanship, systems, and structure.

How It Works

From First Visit to Move-In Day

Buying a PHB new construction home is more straightforward than building from scratch — but it’s still a guided experience, not a transaction. Here’s how it works.

1

Explore Available Homes

Start by reviewing our current PHB new construction homes. Each home has its own character, location, and stage of completion. Some are move-in ready, others are still under construction with selections that can still reflect your taste.

2

Schedule a Walkthrough

Once a home catches your attention, we coordinate a personal walkthrough. You see the home, the neighborhood, and meet Ray directly — who can answer every question about the build, the finishes, and what’s possible from here.

3

Understand Customization Options

Depending on the construction stage of the home you choose, varying levels of customization may be available — from finish selections and fixtures to certain design choices. Earlier in the build means more flexibility. We’ll be transparent about what’s still open and what’s already finalized.

4

Pricing & Contract

PHB new construction homes are sold under a turnkey fixed-price contract. The price is clearly stated, the scope is fully defined, and you know exactly what you’re getting before you sign. No hidden costs, no contingencies buried in fine print.

5

Final Walkthrough & Delivery

Before you receive your keys, PHB walks every inch of your home with you. Punch list items are documented and resolved. You move into a home delivered to the standard PHB is known for across Acadiana — finished, inspected, and ready for the next chapter of your life.

Choosing the Right Path

New Construction vs. Custom Build

Both paths result in a PHB-built home delivered to the same standard. The difference is in how the experience is structured. Here’s a clear comparison to help you decide which fits.

New Construction

Best For

  • Buyers wanting a defined timeline and clear path to move-in
  • Buyers who prefer turnkey fixed-price contracts
  • Buyers who don’t already own land
  • Those who want PHB quality without the full custom design phase
  • Buyers comfortable with limited customization in exchange for simplicity
Custom Build (BOYL)

Best For

  • Buyers who own land or want to find a specific lot
  • Buyers wanting full creative control over design and selections
  • Those who prefer cost-plus open-book transparency
  • Buyers willing to invest 9–12 months in a fully custom build
  • Those building a forever home with specific architectural requirements

“We weren’t ready to go through a full custom build, but we knew we wanted a PHB home. Working with Ray on a new construction home gave us the quality and craftsmanship we wanted — without the long timeline. The process was clear, the price was clear, and Ray was personally involved every step of the way.”
