Superior craftsmanship, premium materials, and personalized service for homeowners who expect more
Not every home needs to be a sprawling estate to deliver exceptional quality. High-end home building focuses on what matters most: superior craftsmanship, carefully selected materials, thoughtful design, and meticulous attention to every detail — regardless of size or scale.
At OPD Construction, we specialize in building high-end custom homes throughout St. George and Washington County for discerning homeowners who understand that true quality isn’t measured in square footage alone. Whether you’re planning a 2,500 square foot family residence or a 5,000 square foot retreat, our commitment to excellence remains constant.
Southern Utah’s dramatic landscape — from the red rock canyons near Snow Canyon to the valley views stretching toward Zion — deserves homes built to match its beauty. As experienced high-end home builders, we create residences that honor this extraordinary setting while delivering the comfort, functionality, and lasting value our clients expect.
The difference between a standard home and a high-end home isn’t always visible at first glance. It’s found in the details — the materials behind the walls, the precision of the joinery, the quality of systems you’ll rely on for decades.
High-end homes are built by skilled tradespeople who take pride in their work. You’ll see the difference in perfectly mitered trim, seamless drywall finishes, and cabinetry that closes with a satisfying precision. At OPD Construction, we work with craftsmen who’ve spent years — often decades — perfecting their skills. This expertise shows in every corner of every home we build.
The materials in a high-end home are chosen for performance, beauty, and longevity. We source solid hardwood flooring, natural stone surfaces, premium-grade lumber for framing, and fixtures from respected manufacturers. These aren’t just aesthetic choices — quality materials resist wear, maintain their appearance, and contribute to your home’s long-term value.
Every high-end home we build undergoes continuous quality inspections. Our project managers are on-site regularly, verifying that work meets our standards before proceeding to the next phase. We don’t rely on final inspections alone — quality is built into every stage of construction, from foundation to finish.
What you can’t see matters just as much as what you can. High-end homes feature upgraded electrical systems with capacity for modern demands, advanced HVAC with zoning and filtration, enhanced insulation for comfort and efficiency, and plumbing designed for performance and longevity. These systems form the backbone of a home that performs beautifully for generations.
Building a high-end home requires careful coordination, clear communication, and unwavering attention to detail. Here’s how we guide you from initial concept to move-in day.

While the terms overlap, “luxury” typically refers to the highest tier of custom homes — often larger estates with premium amenities in exclusive communities. “High-end” describes exceptional quality construction available across a broader range of home sizes and budgets. Both prioritize superior materials and craftsmanship over standard builder-grade construction.
High-end construction typically ranges from $280-$450 per square foot, depending on design complexity and finishes. A 3,000 sq ft high-end home generally costs between $840K-$1.35M, excluding land.
Most high-end custom homes require 9-12 months from groundbreaking to completion. Larger or more complex projects may take 12-14 months. We prioritize quality over speed, but maintain efficient schedules through careful planning.
Yes, within reason. Early-stage changes are easier to accommodate than late-stage modifications. We’ll discuss the timeline and cost implications of any requested changes so you can make informed decisions.
Absolutely. We build throughout St. George and Washington County on client-owned lots. We can also help evaluate potential lots before purchase to identify any construction considerations.
We provide comprehensive warranty coverage including structural, systems, and workmanship components. Specific terms are detailed in our construction agreement, and we remain responsive to warranty items long after move-in.
