Building new, the right way, from the ground up
A new build is the rare chance to get everything exactly right — the layout, the systems, the finishes, and a structure engineered for where you live. Citrus County Construction delivers ground-up new construction across Citrus County, Florida, taking full responsibility from the first site visit to the final walkthrough. As a licensed Florida general contractor, we plan around the realities of this region: sandy and variable soils, high humidity, and the wind-load requirements built into the Florida Building Code.
We build for homeowners and property owners in Lecanto, Inverness, Pine Ridge, Crystal River, Beverly Hills, Citrus Springs, and Hernando, including custom homes on rural acreage where well, septic, and access all factor into the plan. Before a foundation is poured, we evaluate the lot for utilities, drainage, and soil so your project starts on solid footing — literally and financially.
One accountable builder, one clear plan
New construction touches dozens of trades and disciplines, and the difference between a smooth build and a stressful one is coordination. We serve as your single point of accountability, sequencing site work, foundations, framing, and finishes against a master schedule while coordinating electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and other licensed specialty trades through properly licensed Florida subcontractors when required. We handle permitting and inspections along the way.
You’ll get transparent, itemized budgeting, clear communication at every milestone, and craftsmanship backed by a workmanship warranty. From raw land to a finished, code-compliant structure, our goal is to deliver a home or building you’re proud of — built to last in the Florida climate and ready for the way you intend to live or work.
