If any of these hit home, this calculator was built for you.

You've been dreaming about building, but every price you see online feels generic — nothing made for Southeast Missouri.

You're not sure whether your monthly budget builds a $400K home or a $900K home — and the gap between those feels overwhelming.

You've heard "custom" and assumed it means "out of reach" — but you've never actually seen what's included at each price.

You want a real conversation with a builder, but don't know where to start without sounding clueless.

You've been comparing resale homes and quietly wondering: would building actually cost less and get you more?

You're tired of vague "it depends" answers from builders. You just want to see real numbers from real Missouri houses.

You don't want to sit through a sales pitch. You just want a quick, honest look at what's possible.

If you nodded yes to even one of these — this tool was made for you.

I’m Marshall Trawick

I build custom homes across Southeast Missouri — and I built this calculator because I was tired of watching good people put off their dream home, assuming they couldn’t afford it. Most of the time? They were wrong. They just never had anyone show them the real numbers.

At Trawick Homes, we’re a design-to-build firm. That means one team handles everything — from your first conversation to your final walkthrough. No disconnected contractors, no surprise costs, no getting ghosted. Weekly app updates, transparent budgets, and a home built around your life.

You don’t have to be ready to build tomorrow. You just need 60 seconds and a little curiosity. Slide the calculator. See what’s possible.
