SANDHILLCUSTOM HOMES
(402) 555-0148

Homes built for the way Omaha families actually live.

We build about two dozen homes a year across the metro — on your lot or ours. Same team from the first conversation to the warranty walk, and a price that holds.

Why people build with us

Three things we do differently.

None of them are complicated. All of them are the reason our clients send us their neighbors.

Your lot or ours

Already own ground? We build on it. Still looking? We have lots in Elkhorn, Gretna and Bennington, and we will walk them with you before you buy.

One team, start to finish

The person who prices your home is the person who answers the phone in month six. Fourteen people total, and you will meet most of them.

Selections settled early

Allowances written down before we break ground, with real numbers from real vendors. Fewer surprises at drywall, and no invoice you did not see coming.

“We interviewed four builders. Sandhill was the only one who showed up to the lot before we signed anything and told us what it would actually cost to build on it.”

— Client, Elkhorn, 2025

“Curt sent us an update every Friday for eleven months. I never once had to call and ask what was happening.”

— Client, Gretna, 2025

Thinking about building?

Start with a conversation. We will tell you what your lot and your budget can realistically do together — before anyone draws anything.

Our homes

Built across the Omaha metro.

Every home here was designed for the family that lives in it and the lot it sits on. Square footage is finished space above grade.

How we build

Six steps, in order, every time.

Custom does not have to mean unpredictable. This is the same path every one of our clients walks, and we will tell you exactly where you are on it.

  1. First conversation

    Thirty minutes. What you want, roughly what you want to spend, and whether we are the right builder for it. Sometimes the honest answer is no.

  2. Lot and budget

    We walk the ground with you. Slope, soil, utilities, setbacks — the things that move a budget by thirty thousand dollars before a wall goes up.

  3. Design and selections

    Plans with our architect or yours. Allowances set from real vendor pricing, written down, and reviewed with you line by line.

  4. A fixed proposal

    One number, with inclusions and exclusions spelled out in plain language. If something is not in it, we say so before you sign.

  5. Build

    Nine months on average. A written update every Friday, and a superintendent whose cell number you have.

  6. The warranty year

    A walkthrough at thirty days and again at eleven months. Anything we built, we come back and fix.

About us

Started in a downturn. Still here.

Ross ran job sites for another Omaha builder for eleven years before that company stopped building in 2009. Rather than wait it out, he picked up a hammer and finished two houses that had been abandoned mid-framing.

Seventeen years later we are fourteen people building about two dozen homes a year. We have had chances to be bigger. We have said no to most of them, because the thing our clients keep telling us they value is that they can get the owner on the phone.

We build in Elkhorn, Gretna, Bennington, Papillion and west Omaha. Our average home lands around thirty-four hundred finished square feet, though we have built comfortably on either side of that.

We are members of the Omaha Home Builders Association and we have been in the Parade of Homes every year since 2014.

The people you will work with.

Most of the company, honestly. That is the point of staying this size.

Land & lots

Build on your ground, or on ours.

You already own a lot

Bring it to us. Before you commit to a plan, we will walk it and tell you what the site actually costs — excavation, soil, utilities, retaining, drainage. It is the single most common place a custom budget goes sideways, and it is knowable up front.

You are still looking

We hold a small number of lots and we know most of the developers in the metro. We will walk lots with you before you buy one, whether or not it is ours. No obligation, and no hard feelings if you build with someone else.
