You see where
every dollar sits,
at every point in the build.
From Sarasota’s barrier islands to the quiet waterfronts of Florida’s Gulf Coast, Trinity builds with open books, a BIM model that runs months ahead of the jobsite, and a builder on your site every day.
Open books are not a slogan here.
They are how
your project
runs.
runs.
Most cost-plus builders keep their numbers to themselves. Trinity’s books face the client. Every budget line is visible to you, all the way through the build. When a line comes in under budget, the surplus stays in your budget, where you can see it, as contingency available wherever it is needed next. When a line runs over, accumulated contingency covers it in the open, and you can see exactly where the money came from and where it went.
If you are weighing a build right now, start with what it costs to build a custom home in Sarasota. We wrote it the way we run our books.
“The fact that they provide the cost of goods, labor, profit, etc. is as transparent as you can get… their transparency throughout the project is an absolute game changer.”

Why we can show you the numbers
Your home is built twice.
Once in the model, then on the site. Trinity’s 3D model runs months ahead of the jobsite. Every selection is constructed virtually before we commit to a subcontractor, so sequencing, installation, and coordination issues surface in the model instead of in your home. Selections are proven before they are bought. Selections you have not made yet are carried as honest allowances built on your actual expectations, not placeholder numbers.
The tools are real: BIM modeling, Trimble SketchUp, the Trimble Ri Total Station, HP SitePrint, and the published Trinity Framing Standards our trade partners build against.
A builder on your site, full time.
Every Trinity project carries a dedicated Builder, a hybrid project manager and superintendent, on site full time. Mistakes are caught before they happen, not discovered after drywall. Six licensed Florida contractors work on our team, and our in-house carpenters work exclusively on Trinity projects.
You are welcome on your site, any time.

“We have built 8 homes and remodeled several homes. By far, Trinity was the best experience we ever had. The team is fantastic. The project is meticulously organized. Budgets are met. Schedules are followed. If you have the chance to work with Trinity, do not pass it up!”

We do what others won’t
Every build starts with an honest conversation about what your vision actually costs. If the budget and the vision do not line up, we say so before you sign, and we help you close the gap where it can be closed. We have walked away from work we wanted rather than sell a number we could not stand behind. We will not present an optimistic price to win a contract. And when a result passes on site but fails in the lab, we dig it out and do it again, even when no one would have known.
“If you want a top notch, on time, on budget, hard working and technically savvy licensed general contractor, call Mike, Jay, Kyle or Jesse at Trinity Custom Homes. If you are looking for a contractor to blow smoke up your a.. by offering you a cheaper price and/or shorter timeline, then call someone else.”

Client Feedback
We consulted with Trinity Construction because we were having problems with our new home builder not meeting electable on warranty repairs. Jay was able to give us some priceless insights, industry knowledge, and point out numerous problems going on during the construction. Thanks to his walk through, we were able to get our home builder warranty department to replace several things in our home that we could have missed without his expertise and knowledge. He also brought attention to some serious hazards that were going on during construction. He was straight forward and honest, which I greatly appreciated.

When I think of Mike and his team over at Trinity Construction and design the first things that come to mind are trust, honesty, and integrity. I met Mike when he was brought in on a new-build to take over for a contractor who lost those values. I refer him to friends and colleagues and have received calls back thanking me for introducing them to Mike and his team.
As a licensed home inspector I’ve seen my share of sloppy workmanship but I’ve stood in some of Mike’s luxury builds and my parents and I both live in two of his remodels and his attention to detail is unmatched.
