NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION IN SHALIMAR
Proudly Serving Shalimar & Okaloosa County
OUR PROCESS
Choose from Aroha Builders' established floor plans and confirm your lot — whether you already own land or need help finding the right site.
We finalize your build contract, submit for permitting, and lock in your construction schedule.
Our crews build to the proven plan on a predictable schedule, with regular progress updates so you always know where your home stands.
We complete a final walkthrough together, address any punch-list items, and hand you the keys to your new home.
WHY CHOOSE US
At Aroha Builders, our values guide every relationship we build, every home we craft, and every decision we make. Rooted in the meaning of Aroha—love, connection, empathy, and generosity—these principles shape our approach from the foundation up.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What's the difference between a "new home" and a "semi-custom home" at Aroha Builders?
A new home is built exactly to one of our established, proven floor plans — no design adjustments — which typically means a more predictable timeline and cost. A semi-custom home starts from the same kind of proven plan but allows layout, elevation, and finish changes.
How fast can Aroha Builders complete a new home?
Because new homes use an established, already-engineered floor plan, the design phase is skipped entirely. Exact timelines still depend on your lot, permitting jurisdiction, and material availability — we'll give you a realistic schedule once your plan and site are confirmed.
Is a new home warrantied?
Yes — new homes built by Aroha Builders include new home warranty coverage. Ask your Aroha representative for the specific coverage terms for your build.
Can I still choose finishes on a new home, or is everything pre-selected?
You'll choose from Aroha's standard finish package for the plan you select. If you want to adjust layout or finishes beyond the standard package, our semi-custom program may be a better fit.
Can Aroha's new home plans be adapted for Shalimar's flood zones?
Yes — because Shalimar sits on the water on nearly every side, we check flood-zone requirements for your specific lot and adapt our proven new home plans to meet current elevation standards.
Is Shalimar a good location for a new home near Eglin AFB?
Yes — Shalimar was originally built as Eglin AFB officer housing in the 1940s, and it remains a convenient, established choice for new construction close to the base.
