A SMARTER STARTING POINT

Simple Where It Makes Sense.

Thoughtful choices, proven materials, and the flexibility to make your home your own.

Our Simplified Collection was created to offer a more streamlined path to building a custom home. These plans start with a thoughtfully selected group of included features that help keep the starting investment lower without losing sight of the things that matter in a well-built home.

You’ll still find features like poured concrete foundations, 2×6 exterior walls, Lennox® heating and cooling, locally made cabinetry, and warranties that stand behind your home.

It’s a simpler starting point—with plenty of room to make it yours.
