How we build in Bellevue
Phased, priced upfront, managed by us
Phased

The full budget is set out before work starts, line by line.
Managed by us
Our team manages every phase from permit to keys.
Costs controlled
Spending is tracked against the budget at every phase.
Most Bellevue projects start with a lot the owner already has: rebuilding an older home or adding an ADU. Every project is phased, with costs set out upfront and controlled at each step.

Lots, site work and permits in Bellevue
Lot and site costs to check
- Check critical areas (steep slopes, streams, wetlands) and tree retention rules for the parcel before designing.
- For a teardown, budget demolition, utility disconnects and any abatement separately.
- Western Washington homes are engineered for higher seismic loads; that is part of every structural design.
- Check recorded covenants and any HOA design review before choosing a plan.
Permitting
Inside city limits, permits are reviewed by Bellevue Development Services. We prepare the plans, adapt them to Washington's building and energy codes, and manage the submittal and inspections. Ask us for a parcel-specific timeline: review times change, and a permit is never guaranteed.

Building in Bellevue: questions
How much does it cost to build a home in Bellevue?
Hivesta homes in Washington start at $215/sq ft for the house on a standard plan, before our fee (a percentage of construction cost, agreed upfront). Land, site work, utility connections, permit and impact fees, and Washington sales tax are extra, and every cost is set out phase by phase before you build.
Who is the contractor on a Washington build?
UrbanEdge LLC, DBA Hivesta Construction. Washington contractor registration #URBANL*766Q5. You can look the registration up on the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries website.
Is sales tax charged on a new home in Washington?
Yes. When we build on land you own, Washington retail sales tax applies to the full contract price at your location's rate (WAC 458-20-170). We show it as its own line in your budget so there are no surprises.
Can I add an ADU or build more than one home on my lot?
Often, yes. State law (HB 1337) lets most lots inside urban growth areas have up to two accessory dwelling units, and HB 1110 requires larger cities to allow several homes per residential lot (more near major transit stops). Your city's current code, lot size, utilities and recorded restrictions decide what fits; our feasibility report checks them for your parcel.
Can I use one of your Florida plans in Washington?
Yes. You can start from any Hivesta plan. Before it is permitted, the plan is adapted to Washington's building and energy codes (heat-pump heating, insulation, and the snow, wind and seismic loads for your site), and that work is priced upfront.
Do you build for investors in Washington?
Yes. We build homes to sell and to rent, including middle housing where the city allows it. Costs are set out upfront and controlled through each phase, so you can plan more than one exit: sell, rent, or refinance once the homes are leased.
