What does custom home building include?

Our custom home building service covers the full process from planning and design to construction and final completion. We work with you to build a one-of-a-kind home that fits your lifestyle, layout needs, design preferences, and budget. The goal is simple: give you a home that feels built for the way you actually live.

How involved can I be in the design and building process?

As involved as you want to be. We build custom homes around your vision, so your input matters at every stage. We help guide decisions on layout, finishes, features, and function while making the process clear and manageable. If you already have ideas, we can bring them to life. If you need direction, we can help with that too.

How long does it take to build a custom home?

The timeline depends on the size of the home, the design details, site conditions, material selection, and weather. After we learn more about your project, we can give you a clearer estimate for scheduling. We focus on quality workmanship and steady communication so you know what to expect as the project moves forward.

How much does a custom home cost?

Custom home pricing depends on the home size, floor plan, finishes, features, and the complexity of the build. We believe in being straightforward about costs so there are fewer surprises. At Nenneman-Haus Construction, our payment terms are 50% up front and 50% at completion. If you are planning a new home in the 51566 or 51573 area, call us at (712) 621-7304 or reach out through our website to discuss your project.

Why should I choose Nenneman-Haus Construction for my custom home?

We bring hands-on experience, personal service, and the accountability of a veteran-owned company. When you hire us, you work with a team that understands how important this investment is for your family. We take the time to listen, communicate clearly, and build with care so your home is done the right way.

What if I have questions before I am ready to commit?

That is completely fine. Many homeowners reach out early while they are still comparing options, budgeting, or gathering ideas. We are happy to answer questions, talk through your goals, and help you understand the next steps.

Custom Home Building | Nenneman-Haus Construction

At Nenneman-Haus Construction, we build custom homes for people who want more than a standard floor plan. We work with you to create a home that fits the way you live, your style, your needs, and your budget. From the first ideas to the final walkthrough, we guide the process with clear communication, solid craftsmanship, and hands-on experience.

Custom home building means starting with your vision and turning it into a home that is truly your own. Some homeowners come to us with sketches, inspiration photos, or a full set of plans. Others just know they want a home office, an open kitchen, more storage, a better layout for family life, or a home that will work well for years to come. We help shape those ideas into a practical design and a build plan that makes sense.

What Our Custom Home Building Service Includes

Our custom home building service covers the full construction process. We help homeowners plan, organize, and build a one-of-a-kind home with features and finishes chosen for their lifestyle. Depending on your project, our work may include:

Initial consultation to understand your goals, lot, budget, and timeline
Design planning and collaboration on layout, room flow, and function
Site preparation and foundation work
Framing, roofing, siding, windows, and exterior doors
Interior build-out, including drywall, trim, flooring, cabinets, and fixtures
Kitchen and bathroom construction with custom selections
Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC coordination
Porches, garages, mudrooms, storage areas, and other custom spaces
Final walkthrough and completion details

Every custom home is different. That is the point. We build around your priorities, whether that means better energy efficiency, aging-in-place features, a modern farmhouse look, a more traditional style, or a layout built for entertaining.

Built Around Your Lifestyle

A custom home should do more than look good. It should make daily life easier. We focus on how your home will actually be used. That includes traffic flow, natural light, storage, privacy, room sizes, and how one space connects to another. We talk through the details that matter, such as:

Open-concept living areas
Large kitchens with islands and walk-in pantries
Main-level primary suites
Home offices and flex rooms
Children's bedrooms and guest spaces
Laundry and mudroom placement
Attached garages and workshop areas
Outdoor living spaces like patios and covered porches

When a home is planned well from the start, it feels more comfortable, works better for your family, and can add long-term value.

Our Process

We know building a custom home is a big decision. That is why we keep the process straightforward and organized. We believe homeowners should know what is happening, what comes next, and who to call with questions.

Consultation: We start by learning about your goals, your lot or build site, your must-have features, and your budget range.
Planning: We review the scope of work, design direction, material choices, and expected construction phases.
Construction: We move into the build stage and coordinate each part of the project carefully, from structural work to interior finishes.
Walkthrough: Before completion, we go over the home with you and make sure the finishing details are handled properly.

Our goal is to give you a smooth experience and a finished home you can be proud of.

Why Homeowners Choose Custom Building

Many people choose a custom-built home because they want control over the layout, features, quality, and finish selections. Instead of trying to make an existing house fit your life, custom construction lets you create a home that matches your needs from day one.

Benefits of custom home building include:

A floor plan designed for your family and routine
Personalized styles, materials, and finishes
Better use of space and storage
Modern systems and updated building methods
Improved function, comfort, and resale appeal
The ability to build for the future, not just the present

This is especially important if you want specific features that are hard to find in a resale home, such as a larger kitchen, accessible layout, dedicated office, or a home built on your own land.

Quality, Communication, and Trust

At Nenneman-Haus Construction, we take pride in doing the job the right way. We are a veteran-owned company, and we bring that same discipline, accountability, and work ethic to every project we build. We know trust matters when you are making a major investment in a new home, so we stay focused on dependable service, honest communication, and quality workmanship.

We also keep payment terms simple and clear: 50% up front and 50% at completion. That straightforward approach helps our customers understand what to expect from the start.
