When you decide to build a new home, it all starts with location. In addition to our numerous award-winning communities, Drees offers a Build On Your Lot program in Austin, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas, Houston, Indianapolis, Nashville and Raleigh.

We understand that it’s not an easy decision to build a new home. While a traditional neighborhood is perfect for many people, others have a different idea of the perfect location to call home. Whether you have your own lot or need help finding a site, Drees will help you get started. Our Build On Your Lot team can build your dream home from undeveloped land, a private lot in a custom community, or even an existing site with a home to tear down.

Back by more than 90 years of homebuilding excellence, Drees offers many advantages for building a home on your lot. Here are a few of the reasons why building with Drees is always the right choice:

Firm Contract Pricing
Building a home is likely your biggest investment. You don’t want any surprises. With Drees, you’ll be informed of the price of your home and design selections upfront and in writing.

Award-Winning Portfolio of Homes
Drees offers a broad array of floor plans and home designs to meet your unique needs and style. From a ranch layout to multiple levels, each plan offers the latest in home design trends such as first floor owner’s suites, gourmet kitchens with walk-in pantries, game and media rooms, outdoor living areas and independent living suites. You’ll have the flexibility to customize the plan to create the home of your dreams.

Buying Power
As a large national builder, Drees has the buying power to purchase materials and products for less compared to many other custom builders. We then pass those savings to you.

One-Stop Selection Process
You’ll work with our talented design consultants to select the finishes and fixtures for your home. Our team will guide you through the process in two to three sessions at our convenient Design Center. No need to run all over town to select the finishes that fit your style.

Custom + Construct℠ Approach
Our two-phase building approach gives you the best of both worlds: custom design possibilities with the efficiencies of production building. In the Custom phase, we make it easy for you to tailor a plan to fit your unique lifestyle. In the Construct phase, we’ll get to work building and then hand over the keys to the homes of your dream. And we’ll keep you informed every step of the way.

DreeSmart Innovations
When you build your new home, you want to build smart. We’ve designed systems throughout your home where every detail is carefully thought through in design, energy efficiency and smart home technology to support your family’s needs now and into the future.

10-Year Transferrable Structural Warranty
We don’t just walk away from you after closing. Our warranty team ensures your new home meets the highest standards for quality and craftsmanship in the industry.

At Drees, we make the homebuilding process as smooth as opening your new front door. Ready to start your new home journey? Visit dreesonyourlot.com to learn more or contact one of our New Home Specialists to schedule a private or virtual appointment with our Build On Your Lot team.
