Brothers Construction acts as general contractor for new home construction in Lake Charles and Calcasieu Parish, from site evaluation and permitting through framing, finishes and final inspection.
Flood elevation rules, wind code and Gulf Coast soil conditions shape almost every new-build decision in this parish.
FEMA flood maps set minimum finished-floor elevations across much of Calcasieu Parish. We confirm your lot’s zone and design the foundation to meet it.
Gulf Coast clay soils affect foundation design and cost. A soil assessment early in the process avoids surprises later.
Louisiana’s Uniform Construction Code requires specific wind-load and hurricane-strap detailing for new framing.
New construction permitting, plan review and inspections take real time. We build realistic timelines instead of promising unrealistic start dates.
We check flood zone, soil conditions and access before pricing the build.
Working with your architect or our plan options, we finalize drawings for permitting.
Plans are submitted and permits secured before any ground is broken.
The lot is prepped and the foundation built to the required elevation and soil conditions.
The structure is framed, roofed and closed in against weather.
Mechanical, electrical and plumbing are roughed in, then interior and exterior finishes are completed through final inspection.
Clearing, soil work and utility hookups vary widely by lot.
Elevated and pier-and-beam foundations cost more than a standard slab.
Complex rooflines and custom layouts cost more than a straightforward footprint.
Builder-grade to high-end finishes create a wide range in the final price per square foot.
Based in Lake Charles, LA 70601, we serve the city and the surrounding towns below.
