What Building
In Hickman Takes

Hickman issues its own permits, in town and in the mile around it. We prepare the packet, file it, and build the house.

In town or within the mileHickman’s permits cover the city limits and its one-mile zoning jurisdiction, and the city has a separate new construction packet for each.
Zoning district and setbacksThe permit form asks for the zoning district and the front, rear, and side setbacks, so we set the house on the lot to fit them.
Permit before any workConstruction can’t begin until the building permit has been issued. We time the schedule around that.
Connection fees and depositHickman charges sewer, water, and electrical connection fees and holds a new construction deposit until the final occupancy permit. We confirm current amounts for your budget.
Design and permit setFloor plans, elevations, and construction documents, submitted and carried through review by the people who drew them.

Questions

Before You Book

Something else on your mind? Ask us directly.

Yes. Hickman is in Lancaster County, where we design and build from our office in Lincoln.

The City of Hickman, from its office at 115 Locust Street. Its permits cover work inside the city limits and within the one-mile zoning jurisdiction around it.

The city’s new construction packet lists sewer, water, and electrical connection fees, and a new construction deposit that is held until the final occupancy permit is issued. The amounts change, so we confirm them with the city when we build your budget.

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.

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 address or the lot you are looking at. We confirm which packet applies, then talk through the home you want and what your budget supports.

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.
