You’ve got questions

We have answers

What types of projects do you specialize in?

We specialize in anything infill development; custom and spec home builds, ADU construction, duplexes, townhomes, small to mid-size development projects of 2-50 housing units and other multi-family properties. Our team is experienced in navigating the complexities of zoning and land use, making us experts in creating high-value projects in both urban and suburban settings. What further sets us apart is we approach every project with an investor's mindset. Is your goal to minimize the build cost for a long term rental? Or maybe you're looking to maximize rental income with short term rentals. Whatever it is, we understand how to analyze the property, and design and build the perfect investment that optimizes your outcome. 

Where do you build?

We build throughout the Treasure Valley and beyond, including Garden City, Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Nampa, and Caldwell. We also will build in disconnected communities such as Fruitland, Emmett, and other nearby areas. No matter the location, we bring the same level of expertise and commitment to quality, ensuring every project is executed to the highest standards. If you have a specific area in mind, we’d love to discuss how we can help bring your vision to life!

How long does a development take? 

The timeline for a development varies heavily depending on where it's located and what's involved. It's common for a raw land development to take 3 years or more to entitle, develop, build, and exit. However, we buy developments in different phases, and there are also some that we can develop and build at the same time, shaving off many months of construction time. 

Can you help with financing?

While we don’t provide direct financing, we have established relationships with trusted lenders and mortgage brokers who can help guide you through the financing process for your project. We’ll be happy to connect you with our recommended partners for advice on the best options for your needs.

  • Absolutely! At Matson Homes, we do it all—building homes tailored to any lifestyle and budget. What sets us apart is our ability to optimize both floor plans and building lots to create the best possible outcome for your project.

    Whether you're designing your dream forever home with a focus on functionality and beauty, or you're investing in rental properties to maximize returns, we take a strategic approach. By starting with the end in mind, we carefully craft floor plans with minimal wasted space, ensuring every square foot adds value—both in livability and long-term investment potential.

    Let’s bring your vision to life with a home designed for efficiency, quality, and lasting impact.

  • The timeline for building a custom home varies depending on the complexity of the design and project. On average, a custom home takes between 6 to 12 months from the start of construction to completion. We’ll work closely with you to establish a detailed timeline and keep you informed throughout the process.

  • Our build costs vary based on the level of finishes, design complexity, and customization. We offer three distinct build packages to fit different needs and budgets:

    ·  Builder Basic – Starts at $175 per square foot: A high-quality, cost-effective option with stylish, durable finishes.

    ·  Premium Plus – Starts at $200 per square foot: A step up with upgraded materials, more design flexibility, and enhanced features.

    ·  Platinum Plus – Starts at $300 per square foot and up: Our fully custom, luxury build option, designed to your exact vision with the highest-end finishes and craftsmanship.

    We also specialize in Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) construction, offered on a cost-plus basis, allowing flexibility in materials and design while ensuring a streamlined, efficient build process.

    Every project is unique, and we focus on maximizing value—whether you're building a dream home, investment property, or ADU. Contact us today to discuss your project and find the right build package for you!

  • Yes! While we specialize in designing the perfectly optimized home for your wants, needs, and the building lot, we can build off of any permitted set of plans. No permit yet? We can assist through the permitting process, but it's important to understand that the building plans you provide will likely need to be amended through the review process with the building department. Whether you had the plans custom designed, or downloaded them from the internet, make sure you have the ability to get the necessary changes made with the company you are working with.

  • Building an ADU involves evaluating your property’s zoning, designing the space to meet your needs, and following a streamlined construction process. We assist with site evaluations, design options, and handle all aspects of construction and permits to ensure your ADU project is a success.

  • We provide a builder’s warranty on all new construction. This typically covers major structural components, systems like plumbing and electrical, and other key elements of the home. Specific warranty details will be provided at the time of signing the contract and are designed to give you peace of mind after move-in.

  • Yes! We love strategic partnerships and are always open to working with investors, property owners, and developers to create win-win opportunities. Whether you have land to develop, capital to invest, or a project idea that needs expertise, we bring the knowledge, experience, and resources to make it happen.

    Our partnerships can take many forms, including:

    ·  Joint ventures on development projects

    ·  Equity partnerships for investors looking to maximize returns

    ·  Landowner collaborations, where we build on your property and structure a deal that benefits both parties

  • While it might seem like handling parts of the build yourself could save money, we don’t allow this for several important reasons:

    1.    Insurance & Liability – Our team and subcontractors are fully licensed and insured. Allowing outside work introduces liability risks that could impact both your project and our ability to ensure a safe job site.

    2.    Warranty Protection – We stand behind our work with a builder’s warranty, but any outside work done by the homeowner would void coverage in those areas, leaving you unprotected if issues arise.

    3.    Time = Money – Construction follows a precise timeline and workflow. When outside work causes delays, it can disrupt scheduling, leading to extra holding and interest costs—which often outweigh any savings.

    4.    Efficiency & Quality – Our experienced team works efficiently with proven processes. DIY efforts often lead to mistakes, requiring costly fixes and slowing the build down.

    In most cases, attempting to take on parts of the build yourself ends up costing more in the long run. We focus on delivering a seamless, high-quality build while keeping your project on time and within budget. Let us handle everything so you get the best results without the added stress!
