What makes build on your lot special? 

• Free Site Analysis: Drees evaluates your land for necessary improvements—like tree clearing, grading, utilities, and septic systems—to assess feasibility before construction begins.

• Firm Contract Pricing: Costs for your home and selected design features are finalized upfront, so there are no sticker‑shock surprises later.

• Professional Selections Process: You’ll make all your unique home selections in two, three-hour appointments at one convenient location, guided by our friendly and knowledgeable professional Design Consultants.

• Custom + Construct Approach: Choose from award‑winning base floor plans, then customize to fit your style and needs. Throughout construction, you’ll receive regular updates and transparency about the home built on your land.

• Financing Made Simple: Through flexible financing options from our in-house lender First Equity Mortgage, you can skip the need for a construction loan.
