What Building On
An Acreage Takes

Country land has more moving parts than a lot in town. We sort out the rules and the site work first, because both shape what the house can be and what it costs.

Who zones the landLincoln’s zoning reaches three miles past the city limits. Towns such as Waverly and Hickman zone one mile around themselves, and the Lancaster County Board zones the rest.
Whether a house is allowedLot size rules decide whether a parcel can take a new home, and older parcels have their own exceptions. We check yours before you buy.
Well and septicWhere city water and sewer don’t reach, the home needs a well and a septic system, placed and priced early.
Driveway and powerA long driveway and power brought in from the road add cost that a per square foot rate leaves out. We price them separately.
Design and permit setFloor plans, elevations, and construction documents, submitted and carried through review by the people who drew them.
ConstructionOur crew and trades build what we drew, with one person accountable on site and a budget you can read.

Questions

Before You Book

Often, and the zoning decides. Each jurisdiction sets its own lot size rules for a new house, and a parcel that was split off without the proper process can be blocked from a building permit. We read the rules for your parcel before you buy it.

The City of Lincoln’s zoning jurisdiction extends three miles beyond the city limits. Incorporated towns such as Waverly and Hickman have a one-mile zoning jurisdiction, and the Lancaster County Board zones the remaining land.

We plan homes at $225 per square foot for basic finishes, $250 for mid-tier, and $300 and up for top-tier. Land is separate, and so is site work such as a driveway, well, septic system, or power brought to the house.

Where city water and sewer don’t reach, yes. Both add cost and site work, so we plan them when we walk the land.

For most homes, no. Nebraska lets a single-family home under 10,000 square feet be designed without a licensed architect, so a design-build team like ours can design and build it.

Send us the listing or the parcel before you make an offer. We tell you who governs it and what it will let you build.

How we work

Our Process

Four steps, one team. You meet the people who draw your home and the people who build it on day one.

Step 1: Discovery & Site Visit
We start on your lot or in your house. We walk it with you, talk through how you live, what the budget looks like, and what the zoning allows, so the first sketch is grounded in the real site.
Step 2: Design & Permits
Our designers draw the home, from concept plans to construction documents, and we carry the permit set through the city ourselves. You see every revision before it moves forward.
Step 3: Pricing & Pre-Construction
With the drawings set, we price the build line by line, lock the schedule, and walk you through selections. Because we design and build, the people who drew the plans price them, and you see every invoice once work starts.
Step 4: Build & Handover
Our crew builds what we drew. You get one point of contact, regular walkthroughs, and a clean handover with the documents, warranties, and a home that matches the plans.
