Given that prefab construction can move at a pretty quick pace, attention to detail becomes all the more critical as a project progresses. Prefab builder Stillwater Dwellings says that its commitment to keeping things on track is what has kept it steadily moving along for more than a decade. Pacing is important, but its team of LEED-certified architects and a well-rounded staff also emphasize a seamless customer experience in delivering residences that "blend an updated midcentury aesthetic with the precision of a modern, systems-built home," explains the company’s marketing director, Matt Cull. Here’s what he says sets Stillwater apart from the rest.

What’s the most exciting project you’ve designed to date?

Each project Stillwater has the pleasure of partaking in is special, since every project possesses its own unique attributes and design requirements, tailored to reflect the distinct vision of our clients. Whether the home is situated on a hillside in Napa County or nestled in a suburban enclave, we ensure each client feels valued as we attentively address their specific needs with our talented design team.

This personalized approach extends to every aspect of our design process, from initial concept to final execution, ensuring that every Stillwater home is not only architecturally stunning but also a true reflection of the individual desires and lifestyle of its occupants. Our commitment to client satisfaction is unwavering, as we believe that every home we create should not only meet but exceed the expectations of those who will call it their own.

What does your base model cost and what does that pricing include?

At Stillwater Dwellings, we take a detailed and comprehensive approach to project pricing. Our focus is on providing clients with an all-encompassing total project cost, rather than offering limited or fragmentary estimates. The cost to build a Stillwater home varies significantly depending on factors such as geographic location, site conditions, and client-specific requirements.

For our Signature Series designs, the base cost typically ranges between $500 to $750 per square foot. However, the final cost is influenced by several factors: the specific design selected, the finishes chosen, the level of customization needed, and the prevailing cost of building materials at the time of construction.

Our pricing structure is also inclusive, covering various aspects of the home building process. This includes professional guidance through the site permitting process, architectural modifications tailored to your preferences, detailed structure and mechanical engineering, the prefabrication of your home, and its delivery to your site. By integrating all these elements into our pricing, we ensure that our clients have a clear and transparent understanding of the overall project costs from the outset.
