Residential
Site, Blueprints, and Budget
Once you decide to build, we can help you through the process of finding land if needed or get you started with land you already have. We will help advise placement, orientation, egress, excavation, and site development based on your home design. We handle acquiring all the necessary permits as well as getting utilities to the build site.
More than likely, you have a general idea of the home you would like to build and a budget to work within. An initial consultation will give us an idea of what inspires you, what you have in mind for amenities, and important features you need or want for your new home. Once we have these details, our in-house design team will use three-dimensional software to develop floorplans, elevations, and 360-degree views of your project. In-person or online video consultations enable us to adjust floor plans according to your specific needs and dreams as well as enable you to envision these plans in a three-dimensional model.
Idell Construction will work with you in developing a comprehensive budget covering all aspects of the project. We take a preventative approach, attempting to nail down every aspect of the budget as accurately as possible, enabling you to see projected costs line-by-line, and doing our best to avoid any surprises throughout the course of the project.
From the planning process to the finished product, we diligently strive to be cost effective in every area of the project. Our formal and informal relationships with local area Building Code Departments uniquely enable us to carefully evaluate building codes before design is complete, avoiding hidden costs and delays. We carefully manage the bidding process from local subcontractors and suppliers to ensure timely and competitive pricing.
Once a floor plan and proposed budget is in place, we’ll help you through the process of getting financing. We work closely with local banks and have long-standing relationships with these establishments. Once all the financial details are in place, work on the site can begin.
On the Construction Site
A designated jobsite supervisor will be managing the construction of your new home and will be available as a contact throughout the process. The jobsite supervisor will not only be responsible for orchestrating and organizing the flow of materials and subcontractors during the build, but he will also be available to work with you on finish choices, helping you navigate the various suppliers and options while keeping in mind the proposed budget for each aspect of your project. Understanding the multiple stages that make up the build, he will guide you through the whole process, informing you in a timely manner when certain decisions and choices need to be made.
Field inspections are made at regular intervals by the superintendent, project manager, and project executive. We understand that your home is a personal project, and it is important to us to review each stage and aspect of the project on a personal level. Working as a team, the periodic review of the project by various members of our organization ensures that all the details throughout the process are addressed.
Completion
As the project comes to a close, we will guide you in the process of transferring utilities and other final details. Your home will be thoroughly cleaned and a final grading and resurfacing of the build site will take place. We desire for you to experience a smooth transition into your new home and will excitedly celebrate the completion of this milestone for you and your family.

EXCELLENT Based on 41 reviews Laurenn Marsh Myers2024-07-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am absolutely thrilled with my forever HOME! Working with Idell Construction was so easy. From my very first meeting with Jeff and Josh to working with Matt throughout the entire build. They made me feel comfortable in an area that I had no experience in. There were no dumb questions and they met every one of my needs and wants in my home. Idell Construction is a family owned business that believes in giving their clients a beautiful build, whether it’s a home or a business. I highly recommend Idell Construction if you are planning on a build. I promise you’ll have no regrets. Charles Toppings2024-07-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jeff and his team were great to work with. Best home build experience we have had, And we’ve built or finished 8 houses. It was a smooth process from Josh’s help in design/start up, then Matt’s supervision of the process, to Eric’s landscaping. Finished early and under budget, although my wife deserves a big chunk of the credit on the budget. She made wise decisions with Idell’s help. All of their sub contractors were great and easy to work with. Finishing early was helped in a big way by Matt’s planning and scheduling skills. It also helps that they have a good crew who can fall in on areas where a subcontractor isn’t practical or timely. Like others have said, they are not the cheapest but Sheila and I believe they were worth it. Rachel Miller2024-05-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the best experience building a house with Idell. Our home is lovely, weather-tight, beautifully finished and a pleasure to own. Our thanks to Josh who helped us with the design, Jeff and Victor who made the process run smoothly, and especially Jonathan who was the easiest contractor we ever worked with. He answered questions, followed up, gave us great advice, and always got right back with us. We are so glad we went with Idell. Stevi Dineley2024-05-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jeff Idell and his team have been exceptional throughout the whole process of building our new home. Our primary residence is in Connecticut so it was important for us to find someone we could trust while being so far away. From the moment we first met, to the second our home was finished, we felt like we were in amazing hands. Not only are they extremely trustworthy but their attention to detail is outstanding and their level of craftsmanship in truly unmatched. We are so happy with the decision we made and would be honored to be a reference for years to come! K N2023-11-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Words cannot express how pleased I am with the job Idell Construction did building my home. It began with a consultation where we designed the home. They gave solid advice and feedback on many items I had not even considered. They finished well ahead of schedule and that is with me changing items along the way. The quality of the home and attention to detail is second to none. I would highly recommend them without hesitation! Great job Eric! Laura S2023-09-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There are so many excellent qualities that the Idell team brings to your home project. From start to finish Jeff and his team assured that all our needs were met, communication was top-notch, provided cost saving suggestions without loss of quality, and continue their support after completion of project. It is evident that Idell Construction pride themselves with the reputation they have built of providing high quality construction and excellent customer service. If I could give 10 stars I would. Joel Buys2023-05-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the most amazing experience with Idell Construction building our “forever home”. From the first meeting, where they brought us in to their conference room to discuss our project, to the very end, they made the process of designing and building our home very smooth. Being out of state for most of the project, they made it very easy to keep us connected with the progress. Idell Construction was super-professional, true to their word, they listened to us but were also good at helping us manage our expectations and provide realistic solutions to achieve the results we wanted. Our forever home turned into a dream home that is extremely well built, and beautiful. We are proud to put down roots and raise our sons in Greeneville in this gorgeous house! Amy Bowman2023-02-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Idell Construction Co., Inc. built the new 8000 sq ft Greeneville-Greene County Humane Society in 2022. Jeff Idell and his crew did a fantastic job. Their work was impeccable. I am the executive director of the Humane Society and I must say that it was a pleasure to work alongside Jeff and his crew. Jeff was always responsive and professional. Our new Humane Society looks like a work of art. It is so beautiful and built to last 60-80 years. I couldn't be happier! Mitch Edge2023-01-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Idell Construction is first class in every way. Jeff and his team at Idell helped build us a top of the line storage unit facility. They were professional, detailed oriented, respectful, and always available and quick to answer any of our questions. It was a very positive experience. Joy Ellis2022-11-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We could not be happier with our retirement home Idell Construction built for us. From the first meeting, to decide the best location to build our home, to the CO they were a pleasure to work with. The Idell team is outstanding in so many ways and the sub contractors they work with are all superior tradesmen. They may not be the cheapest contractor around but as they so often say "you get what you pay for'". We don't plan on moving or building again but if we were we would not hesitate to use Idell Construction again.
