AR Homes® Hilton Head: A Fixed-Cost Builder with a True “Everything Included” Approach

By Rhett Meeks:

When building a custom home, one of the biggest concerns for homeowners is cost uncertainty. Many builders lure buyers in with attractive base pricing, only for them to later discover that essential features—those they assumed were standard—are actually costly upgrades. At AR Homes® Hilton Head, we do things differently. We are a fixed-cost builder, meaning we provide complete transparency in pricing. The price we present in your contract is the final price—unless you choose to make changes after signing.

Unlike many builders who showcase highly upgraded model homes to entice buyers into spending more, our model homes are an honest representation of what comes standard in every AR Home. With AR Homes, there are no surprises. The stunning finishes, high-end appliances, and thoughtful design details you see in our model are not upgrades—they’re included in the price.

What You See Is What You Get—Everything Included

At AR Homes, we believe a luxury home should include all the high-end finishes and features you expect, without the frustration of navigating endless upgrade lists. Our “everything included” approach ensures that our homes are designed to impress—without hidden costs.

When you visit one of our model homes, you’re walking through an authentic representation of what we deliver—not a showpiece filled with costly add-ons. Our standard features include:

  • Elegant hardwood or tile flooring
  • Custom cabinetry with soft-close doors and drawers
  • High-end quartz countertops
  • Premium appliances from trusted brands
  • Energy-efficient construction and modern smart home features

 

These are not upgrades—they are included in the price of your home.

No Surprise Costs: Your Contract Price is Your Final Price

One of the most frustrating aspects of building a custom home is watching the price creep up due to price increases, hidden costs, unexpected fees, or “must-have” upgrades. With many builders, the price you see at the beginning is just the starting point, and by the time all the “extras” are factored in, the final cost can be significantly higher, and you usually won’t know this until the end.

At AR Homes, we eliminate that stress with fixed-cost pricing. The price we provide at contract signing is your final price—unless you choose to make changes after the contract is signed. This means you can plan your investment with confidence, knowing that unexpected price increases won’t disrupt your budget.

Luxury Without Concession

Our everything included philosophy means you never have to settle for less or worry about being upsold on the features you truly want. Every AR Home is built to meet or exceed the quality shown in the model home, using high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship—without forcing homeowners to pay extra for what should already be included in a luxury custom home.

This approach allows our clients to focus on the joy of building their dream home, rather than being overwhelmed by complicated pricing structures or unexpected costs. At AR Homes, what you see in our model home is what you’ll get—a stunning, high-quality home with no surprises and never cutting corners.

Build With Confidence

Choosing a custom home builder should be an exciting and stress-free experience. With AR Homes, you can rest assured that your home will be built to the highest standard, at a price you can count on. Our fixed-cost, everything-included approach sets us apart, ensuring that your dream home becomes a reality—without unexpected costs, compromises, or disappointments.
