South Florida’s Luxury Custom Home Specialists
A custom home designed around your family’s life — and built by a team that treats it like their own.
If one of these sounds like you, this page was written for your family.
You’ve secured the land — maybe it’s been in the family, maybe you just closed on it. You’ve been thinking about this home for years. You know what you want your family’s life to feel like inside it. What you don’t have is a builder you trust to make that vision real without the nightmare stories you’ve heard from everyone who’s been through it.
You’re not looking for the cheapest quote. You’re looking for the team that gets it right.
Your kids are in the right school. Your neighbors are your friends. Your street is exactly where you want to be for the next 30 years. But the house? It’s a 1950s floor plan trying to hold a 2026 family. No amount of renovation will fix what’s fundamentally wrong with the bones.
A full rebuild lets you keep the life you’ve built — and finally build the home that matches it.
You’re not building the biggest house on the block. You’re building the best one. Every room has a reason. Every finish has a standard. Every system is engineered to last decades, not just pass inspection.
You want a builder who shares that standard — not a production builder who’ll hand your project to a site supervisor you’ve never met.
When you build a custom home with OGC, you are not hiring a contractor. You are hiring the entire process.
Design. Engineering. Permitting. Construction. Finish coordination. Post-construction warranty and care. One team manages every phase. One contract governs the entire project. One phone number reaches the people who are actually building your home.
We don’t hand you off. We don’t disappear between phases. We don’t subcontract the thinking.
Your in-house architect develops your plans in real time — not in 6-week revision cycles with an outside firm. Ozzy reviews every structural decision personally. Miguel manages the client experience from your first call through your one-year anniversary walk-through.
And when it’s time to permit and inspect, OGC uses Florida’s private provider system to accelerate your timeline. Instead of waiting weeks for a municipal inspector to show up, your inspections are scheduled and completed in days — cutting weeks off the typical permitting process and reducing your permit fees by 18–30% depending on jurisdiction. The cost of the private provider is offset by the fee reduction. You get a faster build at no additional cost.
This is the Master Builder model — unified design-build authority from concept through construction. It’s how homes were built for centuries before the industry fragmented into disconnected trades. We brought it back because your family’s home is too important to build any other way.
OGC takes a select number of custom home projects each year. Not because we can’t scale. Because we won’t.
Every custom home we build gets the same team: Ozzy on structural oversight, Miguel on experience management, our core field crew from foundation to final walk-through. That’s not possible at 15 projects a year. It’s possible at the volume we intentionally maintain.
Production builders move fast because they have to. They have overhead, they have shareholders, they have a model that requires volume. Their site supervisor is managing 6 homes at once. Their project manager has never picked up a hammer.
We move deliberately because we can. Your project gets Ozzy’s full attention — the same builder who served as Chief Field Engineer on Marlins Stadium, who brings 35 years of structural design expertise to every decision on your home.
Under 5,000 square feet is not a limitation. It’s a standard. It means every square foot is designed, engineered, and finished to a level that volume builders cannot sustain.
A 1950s Old Miami home — kept only two exterior walls. Rebuilt entirely from the foundation up.
2,300 square feet under air. 10-foot ceilings. New mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Modern European kitchen. Indoor-outdoor flow with modern pool and canopy visible the moment you walk through the front door.
A completely new home where the old one stood — with everything the family wanted and none of what they didn’t.
A father whose son moved out of state for university. He built a custom home for his daughter — so she could live two minutes from the family home.
That’s not a construction project. That’s a father’s investment in his family’s closeness.
A young Marine veteran and his wife, building the foundation of their future together.
Their luxury custom home in Plantation Acres is under construction now — and you can follow every phase of the build.
See the Sunrise Key project in Fort Lauderdale — a $1.2M addition to a 2015 waterfront home. Working alongside the project’s design team, Ozzy brought decades of structural construction knowledge to execute what most builders wouldn’t attempt: cutting through a 10-inch structural slab, driving new piles through existing grade beams, and concealing steel columns inside existing walls to build a 3-story addition with rooftop living space. All while the homeowner hosted family and guests throughout construction.
If our team can build that, your ground-up home is well within our capability.

Before we break ground, your family sees exactly what we’re building.
A custom home Concept Design from OGC includes floor plans (existing site conditions and proposed design), exterior elevations, 3D renderings of key spaces, and a preliminary budget with phase-by-phase cost breakdown.
This is not a sketch. This is not a sales tool. This is the document that becomes your home.
Every room, every sightline, every structural decision — visible and adjustable before permitting begins. Changes at this stage cost time and thought. Changes during construction cost tens of thousands of dollars.
For a custom home project, the Concept Design fee ranges from $6,500 to $9,500 depending on scope — less than 1% of your total investment. That 1% is the most important step in protecting the other 99%.
Every custom home is different. Lot conditions, structural requirements, finish level, and scope all drive the number. Giving you a “cost per square foot” answer would be dishonest — because two 3,000 SF homes on different lots with different soil, different designs, and different finish expectations can be $400,000 apart.
What we can tell you is where our custom home projects typically fall:
These are real ranges from real OGC projects — not theoretical estimates.
Your Concept Design will give you a detailed, phase-by-phase budget specific to your lot, your design, and your finish selections. Before construction begins, the number is locked — not estimated. Locked.
Concept Design
Your home on paper before it exists in reality. Floor plans, elevations, 3D renderings, and a preliminary budget. Every decision starts here.
Design Dev & Documents
Your concept becomes permit-ready engineering. Detailed specifications, structural calculations, MEP coordination. Nothing vague. Nothing approximate.
Permitting & Pre‑Construction
OGC manages every submission, response, and revision. Your budget is locked before a shovel hits dirt — a commitment, not an estimate. Pre-construction planning prevents the surprises other builders explain away later.
OGC uses Florida’s private provider system for plan review and inspections — reducing your permit fees by 18–30% and cutting weeks off the typical municipal permitting timeline. While other builders wait in the building department queue, your project is already moving.
Construction
Our core crew builds your home from foundation to finish. Same team, same standard, same faces every day. Weekly meetings with Ozzy and Miguel. Live cameras. Real-time updates through your project portal. Ozzy personally reviews every structural decision.
Post-Construction
Final walk-through. Full warranty activation. 30-day, 90-day, and 1-year check-in calls from Miguel. An annual home performance visit. We don’t disappear after the keys. We’re the firm you call for the next 30 years.
You’ve driven past the lot. You’ve sketched the floor plan on a napkin. You’ve imagined what it would feel like to walk through the front door of a home that was designed around your life.
The only question left is who builds it.
Book a Concept Design Consultation with Miguel. One conversation. No pressure. No generic quote. Just a direct discussion about your vision, your lot, and whether OGC is the right team to build it.
