Custom Homes · Boise, Idaho

Custom homes shaped by the property first.

Fortis builds custom homes in Boise with architecture, budget, constructability, and the property considered together from the beginning.

The house starts with the property.

A custom home is not a floor plan placed on a lot. Site, architecture, budget, engineering, and construction decisions affect one another from the beginning.

Fortis brings a builder’s and developer’s perspective to those decisions so the project is resolved as a whole rather than handed from one phase to the next.

Crane Creek Residence is a fully designed Fortis custom home in Boise. The project reflects the way we approach custom residential work: begin with the property, develop the architecture and budget together, and resolve the decisions that shape construction before work begins.

Design, budget, and construction, decided together.

PropertyThe site sets the terms. Access, orientation, grade, utilities, neighboring homes, and the way the house sits on the land should inform the project before the architecture becomes fixed.

BudgetCost should shape design decisions while they are still decisions. We develop scope and budget alongside the architecture rather than waiting until the drawings are finished to discover whether the project works financially.

ExecutionConstructability matters early. Materials, detailing, engineering, trade coordination, and sequencing are considered as the project develops so the house can be built with fewer unresolved decisions in the field.
