Our 4-Step Custom Home Process

Initial Meeting

We start with a conversation. During your initial meeting, we’ll learn about your vision, lifestyle, budget, and timeline so we can begin shaping a home that’s uniquely yours.

Lot + Plan Selection

Next, we’ll help you find the perfect homesite and floor plan. Whether selecting from our curated plans or creating something more custom, we’ll ensure your home fits both your lifestyle and the setting.

Walk Your Plans Review

Before construction begins, you’ll experience your home in real scale with our Walk Your Plans Des Moines process. This interactive step lets you physically walk through your layout, refine details, and make confident decisions before we build.

Build + Move In

Once plans are finalized, our team gets to work bringing your home to life with quality craftsmanship and careful attention to detail. When construction is complete, you’ll move into a home thoughtfully built around you.

This Is What We Do

What our homeowners are saying

I had the pleasure of working with Embarq on building a custom home and it was an amazing experience! I didn't choose a house plan from a list, they listened to what I wanted and we built a truly custom home together. From what I wanted, they put together a plan and many of their individual ideas are what made my home incredible. During the building process I was included in everything. We went on site to many of the vendors to see what was going in my home and had a chance to see the design and details of everything before it was purchased and made custom for me. Working with Embarq you are building a home together, rather than have a home built for you.

We’re in the middle of our custom build with Embarq and since the beginning it has been a wonderful experience! They are always quick to respond and make you feel like their priority. They care about your needs and wants and you aren’t just “another” home they built. Very thankful for all they’ve done so far!

Kelli O.

The Embarq team made our dreams come true with our custom home build! They had great design ideas to make sure that our home would fit our lifestyle and function for our family! We had never built a custom home before and Embarq Signature Homes did a fantastic job of guiding us through the process and making us feel like their top priority!

As an exteriors contractor, I have personally worked with Embarq's superintendent staff on multiple new construction builds over the years. An incredibly important yet underappreciated factor when considering a builder is the relationships their staff has with their subcontracted tradespeople. Brian S. and staff team members foster these relationships and develop longstanding lines of communication that allow us as subs to perform our related tasks with efficiency and ease. Happy subs, happy house! You will definitely find this here.
