We build homes to last your family for generations.
NextGen Custom Builders is a licensed custom home builder that serves Raleigh and communities throughout the greater Triangle.
We specialize in fully custom homes, design-build projects and build-on-your-lot construction.
From evaluating a property and planning a home through budgeting, construction and final completion, our team helps guide the entire custom home building process.
Unlike builders that move homeowners between separate sales, design and construction departments, NextGen clients work directly with the same team from the earliest planning conversations through completion.
Custom Home Building
Every NextGen home is designed around the homeowner, the property and the way the home will actually be used.
We build fully custom homes rather than limiting clients to a predetermined collection of floor plans or finish packages. Our team can work with you from the beginning of the design process or collaborate with an architect you have already selected.
Depending on your project, our custom home building services can include:
Our goal is to make sure the design, property, budget and construction plan are working together before and throughout the build.
Design-Build & Architect Collaboration
You don't need to have a finished set of plans before talking with a builder.
NextGen can work with homeowners from the earliest stages of design or collaborate with an architect or design professional you have already selected. Involving our construction team early allows design decisions, site conditions, building requirements and budget considerations to be evaluated together rather than addressed separately after plans are complete.
Whether you begin with an idea, preliminary plans or a completed architectural design, our team can help coordinate the path from design through construction.
Home Additions
NextGen also takes on select substantial home additions throughout the Triangle. Our team approaches additions with the same attention to design, planning and construction coordination as our custom homes, with a focus on creating new space that integrates naturally with the existing structure.
Because every existing home and addition presents different design and construction considerations, we evaluate these projects individually.
Build on Your Lot
Already own land? NextGen builds custom homes on privately owned lots throughout Raleigh and the greater Triangle.
The property itself can have a major impact on what can be built and what a project ultimately costs. Before construction begins, our team can help evaluate the lot and identify considerations that may affect the design, sitework, utilities, access or overall construction plan.
For clients who are still considering a property, involving a builder early can help uncover potential challenges before committing to a lot.
Budgeting & Preconstruction Planning
A successful custom home starts well before construction.
NextGen works with clients during the planning stages to understand the project's priorities, anticipated costs and potential tradeoffs. We offer flexible contract and budgeting approaches based on the needs of the project rather than forcing every custom home into the same structure.
Early planning may include evaluating:
Overall project goals and priorities
Home size and level of customization
Sitework and property conditions
Materials and finish expectations
Design decisions with significant budget impact
Construction requirements and project constraints
Our goal is to provide homeowners with clearer information early enough to make informed decisions before those decisions become expensive to change.
One Team From Design Through Completion
One of the biggest differences in the NextGen experience is continuity.
Clients aren't introduced to one team during the sales process and then handed off to entirely different people once design or construction begins. Billy Pomarico, Jamie Sasser and Bill Pomarico Sr. remain directly involved throughout the custom home building process.
That means the people involved in the early conversations about your goals, budget and design remain connected to the decisions being made during construction.
With more than 60 years of combined residential construction experience, the NextGen team brings hands-on building knowledge, project management experience and long-term perspective to every home.
Clear Communication Throughout the Build
Custom homes involve hundreds of decisions, multiple trades and a large amount of coordination. Homeowners should not have to wonder what is happening with their project.
NextGen combines direct communication with project-management technology to give clients greater visibility throughout construction.
Our client portal helps organize important project information and communication in one place, making it easier to follow progress and stay involved in decisions throughout the build.
Existing clients can access the portal through our Client Login.

FAQs
Do you build on land I already own?
1
Yes. NextGen Custom Builders builds custom homes on privately owned lots throughout Raleigh and the greater Triangle. If you already own land, our team can help evaluate the property, plan the home around the site, and guide the project through design, budgeting, preconstruction and construction.
Do I need an architect before contacting NextGen?
2
No. You can contact NextGen at any stage of the planning process. We can work with you from the early design and planning stages or collaborate with an architect or design professional you have already selected. Involving our team early also allows construction and budget considerations to be addressed as the home is being designed.
Will I work with the same people throughout my project?
3
Yes. NextGen clients work directly with Billy Pomarico, Jamie Sasser and Bill Pomarico Sr. throughout the custom home building process. Rather than being passed between separate sales, design and construction teams, you'll work with the same core NextGen team from early planning and design through construction and completion.
Can NextGen help evaluate land before I buy it?
4
Yes. If you're considering purchasing land for a custom home, NextGen can become involved before you commit to the property. Our team can help evaluate factors that may affect the home's design, sitework, utilities, access, construction requirements and overall project budget so you have a better understanding of the property before moving forward.
