In-house
Our own team manages and builds every phase.
Costs controlled
Spending is tracked against the budget at every phase.
Homeowners

Building in Naples: questions
How much does it cost to build a house in Naples?
Hivesta homes start at $105/sq ft for the house on a standard plan, before our fee (a percentage of construction cost, agreed upfront). Typical new construction in Collier County runs $200–$300/sq ft. Land, site work (fill, well, septic) and impact fees are extra, and every cost is set out phase by phase before you build.
Can I build on a Golden Gate Estates lot?
Yes, these lots are common for new homes. Plan for well, septic and fill. A free feasibility report checks zoning and flood zone, and we price the site work upfront.
Do you build for investors in Collier County?
Yes. We build spec homes to sell and build-to-rent homes and townhomes. Because costs are set out upfront and controlled through each phase, you can plan more than one exit: sell at completion, rent, or refinance into a DSCR loan once the home is leased.
