Home builders in The Bahamas, from shore to skyline
Architect-led, hurricane-rated homes — beach cottages to multi-villa estates — self-performed by one Bahamian crew that finishes to the inch.
Custom home builders in The Bahamas who self-perform
As home builders in The Bahamas, Taurus has been raising houses on Nassau limestone since 2008 — from compact beach cottages to multi-villa family estates. When you build a house in Nassau or anywhere across New Providence and Exuma, you want a residential contractor who self-performs the framing, finish carpentry and final fit, so the inches add up the way the architect drew them.
We work alongside your architect — or bring one in — and run new home construction as a single, managed program. Concrete pour, structural frame, roof, MEP rough-in and finish are all Taurus crews on a schedule you can watch, not a string of subcontractors trading blame.
Every home we build is engineered above the Bahamas Building Code's hurricane requirements, because a house here has to weather the next hundred Atlantic seasons, not just pass inspection once.
What you get with a Taurus home
Architect-led plans
We build to a real set of drawings and engineer the structure properly — no napkin sketches, no surprises.
Hurricane-rated build
Strapped, clipped and tied above code so the home stands through the season, every season.
Custom millwork
Finish carpentry and cabinetry by our own joiners — the detail that makes a house feel built, not assembled.
Pool & landscape
We coordinate pools, decks, solar and landscape so the whole site lands as one finished property.
From plot to keys
Brief & site
We walk the lot, read the soil and orientation, and shape the brief around budget and how you'll live in it.
Design & price
Drawings with your architect, then a fixed-price build quote suitable for bank financing.
Foundations up
Limestone-aware foundations, structural frame, roof and weather-tightness before the finishes go in.
Finish & handover
Millwork, fit-out and snagging — keys handed over with an empty punch-list and a structural warranty.
Building a home for Bahamian conditions
A home in The Bahamas sits on oolitic limestone and breathes salt air year-round. Foundations have to be set with that subgrade in mind, fasteners and fixings have to be chosen to resist coastal corrosion, and the roof has to be tied down to a wind-uplift standard a mainland builder rarely thinks about.
Materials largely arrive by sea, so a realistic build programme accounts for shipping windows and customs, not just labour. We plan procurement early, hold the schedule against the barge calendar, and keep the trades sequenced so the project doesn't sit idle waiting on a container.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to build a house in The Bahamas?
A custom single-family home typically runs roughly 10–18 months from permit to handover, depending on size, finish level and how much material has to be imported. We give you a programme with the quote.
Can you build from my architect's plans?
Absolutely. We build to your architect's drawings, and if you don't have one yet we can bring a Bahamian architect into the project early.
Do you build on the Family Islands as well as Nassau?
We build across New Providence and Exuma and will take on Family Island homes where the logistics make sense. Talk to us about the location.
What does it cost to build a home in The Bahamas?
Cost depends heavily on size, location and finish. See our guide on the cost to build a house in The Bahamas for current per-square-foot ranges, then we'll quote your specific design.
