  • Thanks to Invita homes for helping us through this journey. We had never built a custom home before, but glad we had Randy to hold our hand through it all. He was always available and accessible, much more than what was expected, and very reasonable. Doesn’t hurt that they’re just good people! We just love our beautiful forever home!

    • Is InVita Homes a local or national company?

      InVita Homes is a locally owned company based in the St. Louis area. We focus on building single-family custom homes in surrounding counties and communities where we can be hands-on throughout the process — from consultation to walk-through.

    • Can I bring my own architect or plans?

      Absolutely. Many clients come to us with plans they’ve sourced online or created with another architect. We can review them, offer cost-saving suggestions, or help you revise them with your original architect. We also offer plan reviews and land evaluations as standalone services. And if you’re just starting out, we can refer you to trusted architects who align with your style and personality.

    • What is the Build-Ready Plans Package?

      A design service package that helps you create build-ready plans with expert support, ensuring your project is ready for accurate cost estimation.

    • Is the General Plan Review a substitute for a structural engineering review?

      No. It’s focused on design and functionality, not structural engineering.

    • Does InVita Homes have any model homes or past projects I can see?

      While we don’t operate large model home centers like some volume builders, we often feature walkthroughs and project photos on our Facebook page. We’re also happy to share more about past projects or client references during your consultation.
