Custom Homes Built Around Your Life, Not a Template.
Building beautiful custom homes across Central Florida since 1991. Design-led, hands-on, and built to last.
Who We Work With
The people who hire us for a custom home are at a point in life where they want their home to match who they are now, not who they were when they bought their last one. Some have built before. Some are building their first. Some are building a legacy home for future generations. Some are downsizing into a smaller home that needs to feel right for how they actually live.
What they share is patience for getting it right. Our custom homes typically start at one and a half million dollars and run fourteen to twenty months from permit to move-in day.
If you do not have an architect, designer, landscape architect, or engineers in place yet, we will connect you with people we have worked with for years and trust completely.
Why Posada for a Custom Home
Building from the ground up is one of the bigger decisions a family will ever make. Here is what we have learned in thirty-five years.
An Owner-Led Approach
Carlos Posada stays actively involved in every project from start to finish. After thirty-five years building in Central Florida, his eye catches the small things before they become big ones. The kind of details that make a home feel right when you walk through it years later.
A Selective Workload
We work on five-to-six custom homes a year, on purpose. It is enough to keep our team busy and sharp. It is also few enough that every project gets senior attention from start to finish. No layers of project coordinators between you and the people building your home.
Built to Last in Florida
A custom home is a lifetime investment, not a five-year one. We make material and structural decisions accordingly. Florida-tested techniques, quality finishes, and the kind of craftsmanship that does not show off but does show up in how the home holds up over time.
A Custom Home Is a Fourteen-to-Twenty Month Decision.
When the team is right, the build is the kind of thing you look back on with pride. A creative collaboration that produced a home you love.
When something is off, the same eighteen months can become a source of stress and sleepless nights. Decisions slip. Communication thins out. The home gets built, but the experience leaves a mark.
Most of what determines which version you live through is decided in the first conversation. Who you hire, how they work, and whether they will tell you the truth when something needs to change.
Our Custom Home Building Process
A clear process is the difference between a build that feels like a creative collaboration and one that feels like it is happening to you.
Step 1: Discovery and Project Scope
We start with a conversation about your vision and wish list, timeline, and budget. We will walk your lot together, or help you find one. We will talk through architectural styles that fit how you actually live, and make sure we are the right team for your project.
If you do not have a design team yet, we will introduce you to architects, designers, landscape architects, and engineers we trust.
By the end of this step, you will know whether Posada is the right team for your custom home, what is realistically achievable within your budget, and who else needs to be on the team.
Step 2: Design and Permitting
Your architect, designer, and the rest of the team work together on the plans. We work alongside them, bringing the builder perspective into the design conversation early so the plans can actually be built well.
Our team handles permitting through the City of Winter Park, Orange County, and any HOA or historic district reviews your project requires.
By the end, you will know what your home will look like, what the projected cost will be, and the sequence of events required to commence construction.
Step 3: Construction and Weekly Meetings
This is where your home comes to life. Our team manages every phase. We meet with you face to face every week to review progress, many times one of our trusted vendors or sub-contractors will attend the meeting and walk the site with us to offer suggestions or assist with making decisions together.
In some cases, owners can only be on site for part of the build, or only on a limited basis. When that is the case, we make arrangements to communicate via FaceTime or Zoom so you stay connected to your project the same way you would in person.
By the end of this step, you will know your project is on track, your investment is protected, and quality is never being traded for speed.
Step 4: Final Walkthrough and Beyond
Before you move in, we walk the home together. Every detail, every system, every finish. We address every item on the punch list and give you what you need to care for the home once you are settled in. Even after you have moved in, we are still here if questions come up.
By the end of this step, you will know your home was built right, and you have a partner who stands behind their work long after the final invoice.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to build a custom home in Winter Park?
Custom home projects with Posada typically start at one and a half million dollars. Final costs depend on the size of the home, the lot, the architectural complexity, and the finish selections you make. Whole-house projects with substantial customization land toward the higher end.
We approach every custom home with the same standards. Quality materials, experienced trades, and senior-level project management throughout. After thirty-four years building in Central Florida, we have learned that the homes that age well are the ones where the budget supported the right decisions, not the cheapest ones.

How long does it take to build a custom home in Central Florida?
Most of our custom homes take fourteen to twenty-four months from first conversation to move-in day. The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the home, the design phase, the permitting process, and any specific material lead times.
Roughly four to six months of that timeline is design, permitting, and pre-construction work — the part of the project that happens before the foundation goes in. The actual construction phase is usually fourteen to eighteen months for a custom home in our typical size range.
We will talk through realistic expectations for your specific project in the first conversation, before any commitments are made.
Do I need an architect before contacting Posada Custom Homes?
No. Some homeowners come to us with plans already in hand, and others are starting from a blank page. Either is fine.
If you have not selected an architect or designer yet, we will introduce you to architects, designers, landscape architects, and engineers we have worked with for years across Winter Park and Central Florida. What matters most is that everyone on the team is aligned around the same vision from day one, and we make sure that collaboration feels unified throughout the project.
What architectural styles does Posada Custom Homes specialize in?
We specialize in traditional and transitional architecture. Our experience spans Mediterranean Revival, French Country, Neoclassic, Spanish Hacienda, English Cotswold, Greek Revival, Cape Dutch, Mid Century and other styles that age well in Florida. Keep in mind these classic styles with all the modern amenities makes for a classic that will live well and last.
Each home is designed around the people who live there, not the style label. Our role is to bring an architect’s eye and a builder’s discipline to whatever direction you choose, so the home reads as cohesive and authentic regardless of the style.
How involved will I be in the custom home building process?
You will be as involved as you want to be. Throughout construction, we hold weekly face-to-face meetings to review progress, address questions, and make decisions together.
In some cases, owners can only be on site for part of the build, or only on a limited basis. When that is the case, we make arrangements to communicate via FaceTime or Zoom so you stay connected to your project the same way you would in person.
Some clients want to be involved in every detail. Others prefer to focus on the bigger design choices and trust us with the rest. We adapt to your preferences and your communication style, but we never leave you guessing about what is happening or what comes next.
What areas does Posada Custom Homes serve?
Our office is in Winter Park and we work primarily within a forty-five minute radius. The neighborhoods we know best are Winter Park, Windermere,, Maitland, Baldwin Park, College Park, and Mount Dora.
Proximity matters because our team is on site regularly throughout construction, and we meet with clients every week. That cadence is only sustainable when we can be present consistently, which is why we keep our service radius close.
