project runs between 4,000 and 5,000 square feet – though the company has taken on builds as large as 12,000 square feet – with pricing generally falling in the range of $500 to $800 per square feet, not including appliances and landscaping. Within that niche, Peter believes what sets Ornella Homes apart is the way they collaborate and engage with clients throughout the entire construction process. At every stage, from conceptual design to final completion, they remain by the client’s side, offering them advice and assistance and ensuring the home is being delivered as per their vision. “In the beginning, we’ll meet in the office and go over every detail to make sure we’re giving them what they want,” Peter explains. “Then once we actually start construction, we’re meeting at the house almost every day, going through details, reviewing quotes. We’re doing mock-up brick and masonry walls for clients to sign off on. Sometimes we even go with our clients to suppliers to help them select materials and review the pros and cons.” “We connect with our clients on a personal level, and they trust us,” he continues. “Once that trust is there, they trust us not just on the financial decisions but also on the design decisions – modifying existing architectural plans, doing a smarter layout, widening a staircase, adjusting window sizes. Based on our experience, we have a lot of input into refining the build process, and people really appreciate that we don’t just grab the plans and spit something out. We really work through everything carefully, and we genuinely care about what we do.” That commitment to caring, Peter says, becomes JULY 2026
