Building a custom home means you are not working around someone else’s floor plan. The layout, the finishes, and the systems are chosen for how you actually live.
Epic Construction is a family owned custom home builder in St. Joseph, Missouri, in business since 2010. Owner Lucas Weaver works directly with clients as a custom home specialist. Completed projects are shown on the new homes page.
Why Build a Custom Home
- Personalized design: Floor plans, materials, and finishes are selected rather than inherited.
- Layout that fits your routine: Room sizes, storage, and traffic flow are planned around how you use the space.
- Energy efficiency from the start: Insulation, windows, and mechanical systems are specified during design instead of retrofitted later.
- Material selection: You decide where to invest in higher grade materials and where to economize.
How to Choose a Custom Home Builder
A custom build is a long relationship, often more than a year. What to look at before committing:
- Completed local projects. Ask to see finished homes in the area and to speak with past clients.
- Licensing and insurance. Request current certificates showing liability and workers’ compensation coverage.
- Written scope and timeline. Get the schedule, payment milestones, and material allowances in writing before work starts.
- Communication. Ask who your point of contact is and how often you will receive updates.
- Change order process. Ask how changes mid-build are priced and approved.
- Design support. Confirm whether the builder helps with floor plans, selections, and permitting, or whether you arrange that separately.
The Epic Construction Build Process
- Initial consultation. Discussion of your needs, preferences, and budget.
- Design development. The design team works with you to create a floor plan and make material and finish selections.
- Permitting. Epic Construction handles the required permits and approvals.
- Construction. The build is carried out with guidance through each stage.
- Final walk-through. A walk-through is conducted before the project closes out.
What Is Included
Custom home projects can include interior design guidance, custom cabinet construction, countertops, flooring, lighting, plumbing, electrical work, painting, and tile installation. Kitchen and bathroom design is handled in house. See the kitchen and bath page for details.
Epic Construction also builds decks and room additions and handles roofing, siding, gutters, and windows, so exterior work is not subcontracted to a separate company.
Finished work is shown in the project gallery.
After the Build
Epic Construction also handles remodeling, additions, and exterior work, so the same company can take on later projects on the home it built.
Financing
Epic Construction offers financing options that spread project costs into monthly payments. Financing is discussed during the consultation.
