- Energy compliance with the plansA new home’s plans go in with a ResCheck energy certificate, which we prepare with the drawings.

Questions
Before You Book
Something else on your mind? Ask us directly.
Yes. Waverly is in Lancaster County, where we design and build from our office at 285 S 68th Street Place in Lincoln.
The City of Waverly’s Building and Zoning department, at 14130 Lancashire Street. New construction, additions, garages, and accessory buildings all need a permit from the city.
Approved plans and an approved stakeout, plus a ResCheck energy certificate with the plans. Permit fees are based on the estimated project cost, and the city requires a building deposit for new homes.
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 office covers it, 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.
