Custom Built Homes

True Customization

Florida’s Custom Home Builder

Have you ever fallen in love with a home, thinking the floor plan would be absolutely perfect if only it had a bigger kitchen? Or perhaps you need a private in-law suite, patio paradise or custom three-car garage.

Fortunately, changing a floor plan to uniquely suit you is part of our culture. ICI Homes is a one stop custom home builder that both designs and builds each and every custom home we do. And since every customer wants something different, ICI Homes makes it easy to get exactly what you want in a custom built home. We also do it without adding substantial costs to your bottom line! Of course you may select any of our award winning home designs from our library of floor plans exactly as is, or choose add-ons like a bonus room, summer kitchen or extra square footage. You can also blend elements from different home plans or completely customize a home plan to fit your individual needs and lifestyle.

Custom Home Options Fit For You

ICI Homes offers an extensive portfolio of more than 100 home floor plans ranging from 1,240 to 4,200 square feet. Each home floor plan is designed to accommodate some “made-to-order” optional spaces that are so frequently requested they finally have become part of a set of more than 30 choices that you can easily add to your base plan.

So if you really like a home plan the way it is and just need to tweak it, chances are that thousands of buyers before you had the same idea and forged the path. So look to the long list of tried and true optional spaces that ICI Homes has collected over the years and consider adding a thing or two that will make your home uniquely yours.

• Bonus Rooms

  Among the most popular custom home options are bonus rooms, usually built into the roof trusses or over the garage, adding a second floor space of 400–500 square feet. It may be the extra play room for the kids, a study or an exercise room. Add a wet bar, and you have a home theatre room; add a full bath and it becomes a private guest suite for occasional company from “up north.”

• Pool Baths

  Another popular Florida option is a cabana bath, which turns a downstairs bathroom into a pool bathroom with doors at each end, allowing wet feet access to the inside and avoiding the drip-drip-drip across the living room floor.

• Summer Kitchens

  Because entertaining on your patio or courtyard is so popular, another wildly popular add-on is the Florida summer kitchen, where you can prepare, cook and store food outside, just a few steps from the action. Consider extra pavers, a fountain, a screened room or a solar-heated pool and Jacuzzi — the list is endless.

• Flex Spaces

  Interchangeable bedroom/study combinations can flex a room to suit your individual needs and hobbies. Butler pantries and wine rooms for the gourmet cook, golf cart garages, man-caves, mother-in-law suites, lofts, balconies and decks are all in the mix.
