We are more than a custom home builder, we are a full-service architectural, engineering, and project management firm; all working as a single, lean, and unified team under one roof. You will have a single point of contact for building your dream home.
This helps contain construction costs, as well as reduces the risk of project delays.
When building a custom home with BuildLabs, you are eliminating the developer. Typically, the developers’ profit is twice the entire cost of development.
With BuildLabs, you’re not paying for the developer’s profit because transparency is a core part of our innovative approach to disrupting the traditional construction & real estate. You will enjoy the same advantages of buying a custom home model but with the ability to customize and incorporate luxury into the final model.
A combination of process, materials, and construction methods all contribute to determining the final price. The time and labor costs, meanwhile, will be your largest expense. BuildLabs’ innovative process in precision construction typically takes 11 months from start to finish. The standard home, meanwhile, takes an average of two years to reach completion. Because BuildLabs takes half that time, these efficiencies and savings are passed on to the customer. When the project timeline is reduced, the price drops significantly, resulting in big returns for the homeowner’s bottom line.
The biggest pro: With BuildLabs you enjoy fixed costs because there is a fixed timeline for each project that delivers high quality. Your home will also be totally tailored to your specific requests, down to the finishes.
The main disadvantage is, like with any custom home, there is no sense of instant gratification one can get with a turnkey purchase of a listed home. Although markedly shorter at 11 months, you will still need to wait for the build out of your custom home.
BuildLabs builds across the eastern end of Long Island. We have completed projects from Southampton to Montauk, and are building new properties in Westhampton, the Hampton Bays, Bellport, as well as Nassau County.

There is no project too small. Our portfolio of finished works includes small ADUs (accessory dwelling units) of 200 square-feet, to estates with homes as large as 14,000 square-feet.
As a luxury custom home builder, we believe the quality of the home starts with the materials we select and how we combine them at our off-site manufacturing center, which is driven by our machine learning process and elements. Using this technology to create the materials and foundations of your home, we can achieve the highest level of quality assurance that is physically not possible to be achieved on-location, at a job site.
We provide warranties that exceed any standard home building company provided in the US.
BuildLabs is at the forefront of the sustainability initiative in homebuilding. We are removing the toxic materials, and instead of spray foams we use sustainable cellulose insulation.
Our timber is old growth timber that has been conditioned with the right moisture content to withstand weather-driven shrinkage, which ultimately impacts the quality of the home.
We conduct absolutely no timber cuts on the job site to ensure we are not sending excess materials to landfills.
We are either able to start on a blank canvas or work with your current design brief. We also have a section called Homes for Sale, where you can browse our custom home building plans and completed projects. If one happens to inspire you, then our design team will work with you to tailor that model to fit your needs and price point. It’s a vision board that can be completely customized to your liking.
No. BuildLabs will take full accountability of every aspect of construction, so you can live, work, and actually enjoy the custom home build process. You will have access to a daily reporting dashboard that will give you real-time status updates on your project.
Yes. We work with any architect, following a digital-twin model partnership where we efficiently combine data and processes to make sure everybody is aligned and in agreement with what is being built, while reducing the risk of change-orders.
No. We can connect you with trusted expediters who have worked with us. You can pay them directly to keep the process transparent and streamlined. Typically, building permits get complex with each building department and we work with these agents and expediters so we can focus on what we do best: build homes!
No. We are anything but modular as our homes are custom-designed for each client. Our process involves off-site construction that begins at our state-of-the-art manufacturing plant. This approach gives you the same flexibility as a standard construction project, but done better, and you do not need to make the design decisions upfront.
The only decision we do need upfront is the fixed cost / overall price point to ensure the entire project remains in scope. There will be flexibility when it comes to the finishes, such as moving light fixtures and outlets.
We follow the same set of criteria required by each DOB. We consistently pass all inspections for framing, insulation, and electrical wiring with no hassle.
No, our building system complements residential, commercial, multi-family, and ADU structures, to name a few. We are custom ADU builders and architects of large, luxury residences.
We have built every style of home, from a traditional gable style roof to a modern flat roof. We can do every style of architecture because our system complements flexible design. We are not limited to a particular style or size of home.
All of our homes are designed in the US with local engineers and certifications.
Instead of trucking in building elements from Canada, we focus on sourcing timber from Germany for two reasons: 1) access to the best, sturdiest, raw materials and highest-quality wood and 2) access to cutting-edge technology that is dedicated to precision building. Our manufacturing lab in Germany is home to the world’s best Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machines for timber processing, framing, and insulation, down to the windows and doors.
We believe these two aspects result in a significantly better home.
When it comes to building elements, we rely on direct nonstop shipping methods, versus trucking routes that typically make multiple stopovers. Because of the direct and seamless route from our hub in Germany, (from harvest to distribution to local lumber yard), the cost of the transportation, as well as the overall carbon footprint, is a fraction of what it is to build a traditional home in the US.
To maintain the highest quality control and precision, we have our trained team of expert installers, carpenters and managers complete your house. When the elements are brought to the job site, it is not a curbside delivery. We drop the container SIPS manufacturer and our trained craftspersons install everything, piece by piece. Tech and innovation are at the root of our process, the actual assembly is executed by skilled craftspersons.
