“I saw things that I had no idea were coming to be available, including in my very own neighborhood. I would absolutely jump on that lot.”
— Barbara, Vienna VA | Been searching for 2 years
In Arlington, Bethesda, McLean, and surrounding areas, premium lots are highly competitive, and there aren’t enough available. As you wait 6 weeks for architects and engineers to assess your house plans, faster buyers swoop in and secure the best properties.
Most buyers only see what’s listed on the MLS, missing out on off-market opportunities and early listings that never make it to public sites. This means you’re not only competing with other buyers but also with properties you may never even see.
Searching for lots without knowing if your house plans will fit or what it will cost.
Engaging architects and engineers before confirming feasibility.
Discovering the real costs only after committing.
Realizing nothing worked and going back to square one.
We have the largest list of new homes and building lots in Arlington, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Falls Church, McLean, Potomac, Vienna and NW DC.
All our homes are designed to fit perfectly on each lot. Here are just a few examples of custom homes we’ve designed for specific properties:
You’re not forced to fit a cookie-cutter plan to a lot. All our homes are designed to fit perfectly on each lot. Use our Land-Plan-Price process to go from guessing if plans will fit to knowing your custom home fits perfectly.
Two powerful advantages that help you move faster and make better decisions than everyone else.
Every design we’ve built over 30 years—searchable by your criteria including square footage, style, number of bedrooms, and lot requirements.
Or create something completely custom. You get options.
We’ve compressed the typical feasibility study, design, and pricing process from 6 weeks down to 2 days per property.
When you’re evaluating multiple lots or comparing scenarios, this speed gives you a decisive competitive advantage.
The combination of our proven design library + lightning-fast analysis = you can confidently evaluate every opportunity while others are still waiting on their first quote.
Here’s exactly what happens after you pay $1,500 and sign the agreements—and why this cycle repeats until you find your perfect property.
We start with a detailed consultation to understand exactly what you’re looking for—location preferences, home style, size, budget, timeline, and must-haves.
We start posting addresses from both public MLS listings AND our private wholesale acquisitions list—properties you won’t find anywhere else because they’re not on the market yet.
For properties you’re interested in, we visit together and walk the lot. This is where you see the actual site, neighborhood, and potential in person.
We perform a complete feasibility study to determine the exact buildable area of the lot—accounting for setbacks, easements, slopes, and all zoning requirements.
Our design team creates a complete plan package: basement, first floor, second floor, third floor (if wanted), plus front elevation rendering. We can use plans from our 700+ portfolio or create a custom concept just for you.
We calculate the exact cost to build using our standard specifications—including demolition of existing home, new utilities, landscaping, and sod. No surprises, no ranges, just the real number.
We create an interactive spreadsheet showing all options and upgrades. Want to see what adding a third floor costs? Change the countertops? Upgrade the fixtures? Play with different scenarios and see the exact price impact instantly.
Steps 3-7 usually take 2 days or less per property. And we’ll repeat this entire cycle—unlimited times—until you find the perfect combination of land, plan, and price. That’s what your $1,500 gets you for 6 months.
Most buyers pay $6K-$9K per property—so they can only afford to evaluate ONE option.
Watch as we break down every service included in your feasibility study—and why competitors charge thousands more.
Most buyers hire architects ($2,500+), surveyors ($1,500+), and estimators ($500+) separately for just one property—making it impossible to compare multiple options. We do this complete analysis for every property you want to explore with absolutely no limit—all for one flat fee of $1,500.
If you build with us (which most clients do after finding their perfect property), the entire $1,500 is applied as a credit toward your construction cost. This means the Land·Plan·Price service is essentially FREE.
Get 6 months of unlimited property analysis with custom plans and exact pricing—all credited to your build.

“Other builders’ houses all look like one of those houses out there. There’s no character. The moment I saw Paramount’s house, I said, ‘Bill, that’s it.’ We love everything.”
— Yingjie & Bill | Custom Home Clients
Select from our portfolio or create your own—either way, your home will fit perfectly on the lot.
“This is our budget. That’s where we’re staying. There’s no equivocating. You don’t find out six months down the line, ‘Did I tell you it was gonna be $400K? It’s gonna be $500K.'”
— David | Custom Home Client
Real people who stopped wasting months and used our Land-Plan-Price process to build their dream home with complete confidence.
“We were wasting months searching for lots without knowing if our dream home would fit. We looked at 12 lots over 8 months. Paramount used their Land-Plan-Price process and we knew in 2 days or less. We went from guessing to knowing.”
“I wasted months searching for lots and bought one thinking I could build a 5,000 sq ft home. Zoning only allowed 3,200 sq ft. I wish I had used the Land-Plan-Price process. I would have gone from guessing to knowing before wasting $180K.”
“We know how it feels to waste months searching blindly. In 2 days, we used their Land-Plan-Price process to go from guessing to knowing. Now we’re building our dream home with complete confidence.”
Land-Plan-Price is our focused process where we help you find land, create a custom plan that fits perfectly on that specific lot, and provide an exact price—all in 2 days or less per property. We repeat this process on different lots until we find the combination of Land, Plan, and Price that works for you.
Typically 2 days or less per property. Day 1: Feasibility study to determine what’s buildable. Day 2: Custom concept design laid out on your actual lot plus exact pricing. All of this happens BEFORE you put money at risk on a lot purchase.
No problem! We repeat the Land-Plan-Price process on different lots until we find the combination that works for you. This iterative approach saves you money and time, and gives you a competitive advantage in a market where there is more demand than supply of good lots.
Most buyers are searching blindly, hoping cookie-cutter plans will fit. You’ll have feasibility studies, custom designs, and exact pricing BEFORE making an offer. This means you can move quickly and confidently when the right lot appears—a critical advantage in markets with more demand than supply.
Yes! We actively work TWO property sources on your behalf: (1) Public listings from MLS (Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com), and (2) Our private wholesale list of off-market acquisitions. This dual approach gives you access to properties other buyers never see.
We calculate lot coverage ratio, setbacks (side, rear, front), easements, burial grounds, flood plains, resource protection areas (RPA), utility connections (water, sewer, gas), legal descriptions, and well/septic considerations. You’ll know exactly what’s buildable on each lot.
Traditional architects and engineers design generic plans and hope they fit on your lot—often costing $5K-$9K per property before you know if it will work. We design custom plans specifically for each lot and give you exact pricing in 2 days or less, BEFORE you put money at risk. Plus, the $1,500 fee covers unlimited lots—we repeat the process as many times as needed until you find the perfect combination.
The $1,500 gets you the full Land-Plan-Price process for unlimited lots: feasibility study, custom concept design on your actual lot, exact base pricing using our 55-page Standard Specifications Package, and interactive options pricing spreadsheet. This happens in 2 days or less per property, BEFORE you commit to buying a lot. We repeat the process as many times as needed until you find the right combination.
Perfect! We’ll run the Land-Plan-Price process on your existing lot. You’ll get a feasibility study, custom design that fits perfectly on your property, and exact pricing—all in 2 days or less. This confirms what’s buildable and gives you confidence in your investment.
