Building Your Dream Home, Simplified

From concept to completion, we handle the complexities so you can enjoy the journey.

Building the home of your dreams can be both challenging and exciting. At DHB, we are here to make the process seamless, so you can focus on the excitement while we handle the challenges. Our clients trust our proven design-and-build process to navigate the complexities of home construction, ensuring the experience is enjoyable, efficient, and tailored to their vision. Whether you are looking to work with a pre-existing plan or embark on a custom build, we offer flexible options to bring your dream home to life.

Pre-Existing Plan

A Pre-Existing Plan is ideal for homeowners who prefer a straightforward and streamlined building process. This method involves selecting a design that already exists, either brought to us by the homeowner or chosen from a catalog of standard plans. With this approach, the plans remain largely intact, with minimal to no structural modifications. As a result, the project is priced based on the plans “as is,” allowing for quicker turnaround and simplified execution.

While the foundational design remains unchanged, there is still room for personalization and aesthetic enhancements. Homeowners can customize elements such as:

This option provides an efficient, cost-effective way to build a beautiful, functional home that reflects your taste without the need for significant design changes.

Custom or Semi-Custom Home

For those who desire a more personalized and unique build, our Custom or Semi-Custom Home process offers the ultimate level of flexibility and creativity. In this approach, a pre-existing plan often serves as the foundational framework, which can then be modified to meet your specific needs and preferences. Alterations can include changes to the layout, additional rooms, expanded spaces, or unique architectural features.

With a custom or semi-custom home, homeowners are deeply involved in the process. Everything, from the overall structure to the smallest finishing details, can be adjusted to match your vision. Key areas where customization often takes place include:

For those seeking a fully custom experience, we can collaborate with architects and specialized designers to create a full-custom home from the ground up. In this case, the design process begins with a blank sheet of paper, allowing for complete creative freedom. However, we have found that starting from scratch can be inefficient for most homeowners, as existing blueprints often provide an excellent foundation that can be adapted to meet both design needs and aesthetic tastes.

By modifying and enhancing a pre-existing plan, we are able to achieve the perfect balance of efficiency, customization, and cost-effectiveness, ensuring your new home is uniquely yours without unnecessary delays or expenses.
