Custom Home Builder
In Omaha, NE
One-off homes in the Omaha area, designed and built by one team. We are based in Lincoln, about an hour down I-80, and we take on Omaha projects.

What Building
In Omaha Takes
We bring the same team and the same process we use in Lincoln. The first job is finding out which rules cover your land.
- City or county, confirmed firstOmaha’s zoning jurisdiction reaches three miles past the city limits, so land that looks rural can still fall under city rules. We confirm who governs your parcel before we draw.
- Zoning read before the planSetbacks, lot coverage, and height come from the district your lot sits in, so we read it before the floor plan takes shape.
- A budget before drawingsPlanning rates by finish level tell you what size home your budget supports before you pay for a full set.
- 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.
- Open-book billingWe build cost-plus with a standard markup, and you see every invoice we receive as the work moves along.

Questions
Before You Book
Something else on your mind? Ask us directly.
Yes. We are a design-build firm based in Lincoln, and we take on custom homes in the Omaha area. One team designs the house, carries the permit, and builds it.
At 285 S 68th Street Place in Lincoln. Consultations happen by video or phone, and we come to your lot.
Inside the city, permits go through the City of Omaha Planning Department. Under Nebraska law the city’s zoning jurisdiction also covers unincorporated land up to three miles past its limits. Outside that, the county is in charge. We confirm which office covers your address before design starts.
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. We confirm local fees for your address.
Cost-plus, with a standard markup. The work costs what it costs to build, and our markup sits next to those costs. You see every invoice we receive.
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 and book a 30-minute call with Alec. We will tell you what the land allows 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.
