Lifestyle Without Compromise
Looking for perfection in a maintenance-free home and community can be challenging – and at times frustrating – for potential home buyers. They desire to enjoy the benefits of a maintenance-free lifestyle but also want to build the floorplan of their dreams. And they are looking for an environment that provides beautiful scenery and privacy. It is so difficult to find a lovely and scenic location where the builder is willing to customize.  Most developers of maintenance-free communities plan a “one-size-fits-all” strategy where floorplan flexibility is not considered, forcing buyers to compromise on their home in order to obtain the lifestyle they seek.

Better Homes Begin Here
Design Construction believes that people looking for a maintenance-free lifestyle deserve a completely different approach. Each customer is viewed as an individual. The team at Design Construction is willing to commit the time to properly understand each one’s goals, accurately measure all of the possibilities and painstakingly plan each detail before designing each home’s plan to the exacting taste, specifications and preferences of each Purchaser.  

Visit any Design Construction Information Center and you will find framed letters and cards from our customers thanking us for the creation of their “custom-fitted” home…for seamlessly managing their homebuilding experience…for making it better than they expected…for the building of value and quality of their new home. Our customers tell us that the experience was fun. That it was made simple and easy, that our helpful staff went “extra miles” for them in some unique way.

Find perfection at one of our maintenance-free communities. We provide outstanding locations with pristine and natural surroundings and the uncompromising combination of floorplan flexibility for customization with a maintenance-free lifestyle.

Design/Build Custom Home Experiences Are Better
Design Construction began as a small custom home building venture in 1988. Even today, over 1,000 designed and built homes later, the Principals of Design Construction maintain the position in all of their communities that each Buyer – irrespective of the budget for the home – deserves the same attention to design detail, commitment to quality and homebuilding management, individualized attention and great value that the Purchaser of our very first home received.

Many of Design’s custom home Purchasers build inside of award-winning communities developed by the firm throughout the area. Others have engaged with Design on their own homesite. Either way, Design Construction provides expertise in dealing with land contours, utilities, well and septic sites versus those with water and sewer – integrating all of these peculiar issues in a comprehensive budget. 

When custom building with Design Construction Purchasers should expect a unique approach where the design of the custom home is actually drawn by one of the Principals of the construction firm.

Why would it be important for the builder to be the designer? 
The designer/builder can think globally about the custom home and can blend each lifestyle concern to an appropriate total budget figure. Custom home purchasers generally want assistance in debating alternatives to the structural design so that “value engineering” can occur. They also want advice from the builder to determine the most effective path to accomplish interior and exterior finishes and details. During pre-design meetings the floorplan structure is discussed congruent with desired materials such as windows, cabinetry, flooring and built-ins. Customers can be advised when they are under- or over-estimating the value of features that are important to them. Helping the customer prioritize space relationships, material stipulations and details will keep budget constraints from being exceeded. Consequently, working with a designer/builder can make the process much more efficient. And Better.

Awards and accolades have been many. Design Construction understands that recognition comes as a result of a commitment to create a higher level of professionalism, provide a better quality product and create a greater level of customer satisfaction. It’s how Better Homes Begin Here. We believe you’ll recognize the difference our commitment makes.
