You have the land or the neighborhood in mind, and a clear picture of how your family will live in the house. We design and build custom homes in Harrisburg and across Central PA, and you see your home in 3D, then walk through it in virtual reality, before we break ground. Family-owned since 2001, we hold a 4.9 out of 5 rating on Google.

Our office is at 5755 Union Deposit Road in Harrisburg, PA 17111, and the people who design your home work from it every day.
You can reach us at 717-526-4075, Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM. We have built and remodeled homes for families in Dauphin and Cumberland counties since 2001, from Hummelstown to Mechanicsburg, so we know the land, the townships, and how a home gets approved here.
When one team handles design, selections, and construction, every decision stays connected from the first sketch to the final walkthrough. Here is what that means for your custom home:
If you love your current address and need more room instead of a new home, we plan home additions and whole-home remodels with the same team.
Most clients spend about two months in design, from our first meeting through completed floor plans and specifications. For a home up to 5,000 square feet, construction typically takes 10 months or less. Here is the path:
Step 1You design live with our team, see your home in 3D, and tour it in VR.
Step 2We finish the plans and specifications and guide your selections. Choosing finishes early keeps material lead times from slowing the build.
Step 3Your superintendent runs the site, and you are welcome to stop by at any time to see what has changed.
Step 4We return about 45 days after move-in, then again around the one-year mark.
You can see how the design and construction phases run week by week in our custom home building process.

Over the course of the past 2 years my wife and I have worked with the FoxBuilt Team to purchase our land, custom design and construct our new home. Throughout the course of the process the FoxBuilt team was prompt to respond to requests, focused on understanding our vision and were always professional. As we transitioned into the construction phase of the project Adam and Dave were excellent to work with. They were always available to answer questions and quick to resolve issues all the way through the completion of our home. With the ebb and flow of material costs FoxBuilt did their best to work with vendors to honor previously negotiated material prices and availability. They were transparent and set proper expectations when unexpected price increases presented themselves and worked with us on options. This is the 3rd home my wife and I have built and the best experience we have had. I highly recommend FoxBuilt if you are interested in building a quality custom home.

Our office sits at the center of the lots we build on. In Dauphin County, we serve families in Hummelstown and Hershey, and our Dauphin County page covers the wider area. Across the river, we build for homeowners in Mechanicsburg and the Cumberland Valley.
We are a family-owned builder led by John and Paul Fox, and we have been building since 2001. We operate with a small crew of skilled tradesmen, which keeps quality control close and schedules tight. Our job sites are clean and safe, and you can visit yours any time.
We are also a registered Pennsylvania home improvement contractor (PA registration number PA045905), and you can confirm any contractor’s registration with the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s contractor search.
It depends on your lot, your design, and your selections, so we price a custom home from completed plans and specifications, not from a per-square-foot guess. Site improvements, public utilities, accessibility needs, and your selections have the biggest effect, and every home is unique. We will walk you through what drives the number for your lot and plan at your design consultation.
Plan on about two months for design, from our first meeting through completed floor plans and specifications. For a home up to 5,000 square feet, construction typically takes 10 months or less. Making your selections early keeps material lead times from slowing the build.
Yes. Each township runs its own zoning and permit process, so what applies depends on where your lot is. In South Hanover Township, for example, the township’s Department of Code Enforcement takes permit applications and a zoning officer administers zoning, as its published code of ordinances shows. We tell you which approvals your lot needs before your design is final.
Yes. Many of the homes we build are on lots clients already own or are in the process of buying. We evaluate what your land allows and talk through where the home should sit before design begins.
Farm Crest in Hummelstown is in the Lower Dauphin School District, and Glendale Estates in Silver Spring Township is in the Cumberland Valley School District. Ask us about the district for any other community or lot you are considering.
We return for two structured warranty visits. The first comes about 45 days after move-in, to take care of any minor issues. The second comes about a year after move-in, once the home has been through a heating and cooling season, to handle any shrinkage or settlement.
Tell us about the lot, the neighborhood, and how your family lives, and we will show you what your home can look like in 3D. We care about people. We happen to build homes. Call 717-526-4075 Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM, or
