Build on your homesite

Short Answer: The Build on Your Homesite (BOYH) program allows you to build our premier Model X on land you already own in the Bay Area. We provide an end-to-end, turnkey service that handles everything from site feasibility and permitting to full construction.

Deep Dive: Most residential lots in the Bay Area are underperforming assets, whether it’s an aging teardown, a vacant parcel, or an underbuilt home. Unlike working with a traditional general contractor where you must juggle separate architects and consultants, Veev provides a single point of accountability. You sign one contract, and we deliver a move-in-ready, luxury modern home in a fraction of the typical timeframe.

Short Answer: The comprehensive, all-in cost to build the Model X is approximately $400 per square foot, or $1.2 million. This highly competitive flat rate includes your permits, municipal fees, full land development, and complete vertical construction.

Deep Dive: The Bay Area is one of the most expensive construction markets in the country, with traditional general contractors typically charging $650 to $800+ per square foot. Veev is able to cut this cost nearly in half through our optimized manufacturing processes and vertically-integrated supply chain. When isolating just the vertical construction of the Model X (the physical home and finishes), the cost is an astonishing ~$275 per square foot.

Short Answer: Once your city permits are approved, the on-site construction phase for the Model X takes just 3 to 4 months. This is a fraction of the 12 to 18 months typical for traditional Bay Area homebuilders.

Deep Dive: We achieve this unprecedented speed by working in parallel rather than sequentially. Because your home’s structural panels are being manufactured in our Hayward facility at the same time your site is being graded and the foundation is poured, we eliminate sequential delays. Once the foundation has cured, the pre-built panels are assembled in a matter of weeks.

Short Answer: Veev manages the entire entitlement, planning, and permitting process on your behalf. You do not need to hire separate architects or consultants to navigate local city bureaucracies.

Deep Dive: Permitting in the Bay Area is notoriously slow and complex. Our dedicated in-house planning teams have extensive experience working with local municipalities. Because the Model X is pre-engineered to precise, standardized specifications, city planners can review and approve our plans much faster than bespoke, custom-architectural blueprints, shielding you from massive bureaucratic headaches.

Short Answer: Yes, as part of our comprehensive land development phase, Veev manages the demolition of any existing structures. We also perform the necessary site grading and utility connections.

Deep Dive: Turnkey means we handle the messy reality of land preparation. We don’t just drop a house on an unprepared raw lot. Whether your property has an old teardown or requires complex utility trenching to connect to city infrastructure, our site crews handle the heavy lifting so your parcel is professionally prepped for the rapid assembly of your new Veev home.

Short Answer: No, there are no hidden fees or change orders when you build a Veev home. We operate exclusively on Fixed-Price Contracts.

Deep Dive: The traditional construction industry is heavily reliant on bait-and-switch pricing, where the initial bid looks attractive, but weather delays, material shortages, and subcontractor disputes result in massive out-of-pocket change orders. Because Veev manufactures your home’s components in our own facility, we have total control over our costs. What we quote you at signing is exactly what you pay.

Short Answer: Yes, licensed real estate agents can earn a referral bonus of up to $50,000* for every qualified client who signs a Build On Your Homesite contract for the Model X.

Deep Dive: We recognize that real estate agents are trusted advisors for Bay Area property owners. Often, an agent has a client with a vacant lot or a teardown who is overwhelmed by the high costs of traditional construction. By introducing them to Veev, agents can provide a fixed-price, high-quality solution that unlocks their client’s property’s value, while adding a highly lucrative revenue stream to their own portfolio.

Short Answer: Veev offers a no-cost preliminary Land Feasibility Analysis to confirm your lot’s compatibility with the Model X footprint. You can find it at https://www.veev.com/build-on-your-homesite/

Deep Dive: Not every lot is perfectly suited for our standardized dimensions, but we take the guesswork out of the equation immediately. Before you commit any capital, our architecture and engineering team evaluates your lot’s setbacks, topography, and zoning constraints. Whether you already own the land or are an agent evaluating a property for a client to purchase, we provide the clarity needed to move forward confidently.
