Built with intention, finished with care.

Start a ConversationLearn More

We can’t help but build quality homes.

We study materials, geek out about energy efficiency, and stay current on techniques most builders in the market haven’t adopted yet. We build every home as if our reputation depends on it. And it does! The result is a house that performs as well as it looks.

The exterior of a modern home features a stone archway entrance and dark accents. The house has a black roof and dark window trim.

What’s Behind the Drywall

The stuff that actually makes a home last — you’ll never see it. We don’t build to code and call it a day. We build to a standard we’d want in our own home. Here’s a few examples of what that looks like.

Bright living room features hardwood floors, built-in cabinets with glass doors, and a fireplace with decorative tile surround. A window with soft light is visible on the right wall.
Bathroom vanity with natural wood cabinets and brass hardware sits above a black and white penny tile floor. The penny tile floor features a black border and white with black speckled tiles.

Engineered Framing

LSL studs on every exterior wall. Laminated strand lumber — it’s straighter, it’s stronger, and it doesn’t twist or shrink over time. Your drywall stays flat. Your trim stays tight. Most builders use standard studs because they’re cheaper. We don’t.

Sealed Envelope

We spray a fluid-applied weather barrier right onto the sheathing. No seams, no gaps, no house wrap flapping in the wind. It’s one of those things where five years from now, your taped house wrap is failing and you don’t even know it. This doesn’t fail.

Above-Code Insulation

Closed-cell spray foam on every stud cap, then blown-in blanket over that. We’re hitting R-30 on a two-by-six wall. You’ll feel it in January, and you notice it on your first energy bill.

Materials That Outlast You

Class 4 impact-resistant shingles — because this is Nebraska and hail isn’t a maybe. Kolbe fiberglass windows that don’t rot, don’t warp, and don’t need replacing in fifteen years. We’re choosing everything based on how it holds up in twenty years.

How We Work

01

You Don’t Start from Scratch

We have a library of plans and years of building experience, so most clients start there and customize. We work directly with a draftsman to dial it in, and that cost gets rolled into the project later — so if things don’t work out during the design phase, you can walk away without a bill.

02

Know What You’re Getting

Before construction starts, everything is organized into a detailed bid packet. You know what everything costs. We are a cost-plus builder, so you see every line item. If you decide to change something mid-build, we get a new bid and show you exactly what the difference is. No surprises.

03

A Clean, Organized Build

From scheduling to subcontractor coordination, we run a tight process. Materials are ordered in sequence, trades show up when they should, and nothing gets left to “we’ll figure it out in the field.” The job site reflects that.

04

You Talk to One Guy

Andy builds your home. You text Andy. You call Andy. He answers. There’s no project manager relaying messages, no layers between you and the person building your home. He stays in communication through the whole build — you won’t have to chase him down.

Bright living room with vaulted wood ceiling, stone fireplace with built-in shelves, and a large blue sectional sofa. Sliding barn doors and a modern sliding glass door offer access to other areas.
Exterior view of a single-family home with a front porch, siding, and a well-manicured lawn. The house has a multi-gabled roof and light gray siding, set in a residential neighborhood.
Unfinished kitchen area featuring a large center island with a white countertop and sink, along with unfinished wood cabinets. There are large windows looking out to a wooded area, and exposed wood beams on the ceiling.

Let’s Talk

Just a conversation about what you’re thinking about building. Our past clients are happy to share their experience — references available anytime.
