In the heart of Sedona, Arizona, among the striking red-rock and breathtaking vistas, Steg Custom Homes just wrapped a $ 3.5 million custom build – six months ahead of schedule and under budget. Finishing a project this early is rare in high-end residential construction. Company President, Jim Steg, has every confidence in the reason for such prompt completion; namely, the program he built from the ground up, known as the Legacy Pre-Construction Concierge Program.“ I

don’ t think there’ s another builder across the nation that can say that they finished six months ahead of schedule,” he states.
Steg Custom Homes has been operating in Sedona since 2019, although Jim’ s building career stretches back much further. He left the corporate world and a job at UPS, purchased a piece of land in 1995 and built his first house in 1997.“ After building that house, I looked at my wife, Theresa, and I said,‘ You know what? I would really like to do this for a living!’” he recalls. What began with smaller homes in the late
1990s has grown into a business handling projects worth
$ 3.5 million to $ 18 million, 90 percent of which is situated in Sedona’ s dramatic red-rock terrain.
The company has remained family-oriented, with Jim’ s oldest daughter, Rylie, working as executive assistant, and his youngest daughter, Kayla, running social media and creative marketing, while Theresa closed her aesthetician business to join the team.“ I have project managers running projects up here in Sedona, and a couple more down in Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Paradise Valley, so I go back and forth,” Jim continues.“ I admit
I was a little apprehensive about bringing family into my business, but I can say now that it’ s the best decision I’ ve ever made.”
Jim launched the Legacy Pre-Construction Concierge Program roughly six years ago, born from a problem he saw repeating across the custom home industry; clients typically buy land, then head straight to an architect – a common mistake, Jim describes. Architects, no matter how skilled at design and engineering, aren’ t always attuned to real-world construction costs.“ The result is a bidding process where some builders lowball to win the job, while others quote realistic prices that can run $ 800,000 to $ 1 million higher, leaving homeowners blindsided,” elaborates Jim, with numbers that back up his concerns.“ What is the success rate of an architect getting that home off the ground? It’ s 20 percent,” he reveals. However, the Legacy Pre-Construction Concierge Program
