Sometimes more does not mean better. Greg Meidinger, owner of Aspire Homes, typically builds 5-8 homes a year and he does that on purpose. “I try to take a different approach, only doing 5 to 7 or 8 homes a year. I’m very hands-on and always accessible to the homeowner. I personally spend quite a bit of time on the job sites, not necessarily doing the trade work, but coordinating with contractors, subs, making sure everything is getting done to the homeowner’s expectations. The reason I do a smaller number of homes is that I like to ensure that they’re getting what they want, what they signed up for in the contract. I always think building a new home is an exciting thing, you’re doing it because usually you want something a little bit nicer or a little bit newer so that’s where the name came from, you’re aspiring to a better part of your life. I guess that’s the biggest thing, just being accessible, being there for the homeowner and keeping an eye on the process,” says Greg.

Since 2005, Joe Hillerson has been a realtor and in 2011 he took the leap into home building and started Boulder Homes. Since Joe comes from the world of realty, he can offer advice when it comes to the home purchasing process and resale value when building a home. “The most unique part of Boulder Homes is probably me and my expertise in the real estate market, as a realtor, but also a practicing realtor on top of that. Boulder Homes is also a small company, so when you build with us, you’re working directly with me. When it comes to building a home the home buyer can spend their money on whatever they would like, but if they’re thinking about re-selling, if they’re only going to be there for a few years, I can offer some perspective on where to put or cut the money in order to get a better return,” says Joe.

Diversity Homes is a household name when it comes to home builders in Bismarck/ Mandan. Jason Frank, owner of Diversity Homes, started the company over eleven years ago, but has been in the industry for over 25 years. “I run my business a little different, I have not only been a general contractor, but I’ve owned my own framing company so I‘ve done the framing, I’ve done the roofing, I’ve done the siding, so it’s really hard for a sub-contractor to push me around because I have done it all before,” says Jason Frank. Diversity Homes builds anywhere from 35 to 55 homes a year. “What makes us a little different is the budget means a lot to us. 90% of our customers, when we give them a price, that’s what the price is at closing. Because we do so many homes, if you come to me and want a home built, I can be within 5 to 10 thousand dollars of budget by just guessing. We’re up front and honest with the customer. The other thing that really sets us apart is our warranty department. I firmly believe that when it comes to building a home, I write on paper that I give you a year, but I’ve gone back to homes 5 years later. I go the extra mile just to make sure that’s taken care of because I believe that my sub-contractors should stand behind their work too,” says Jason Frank.

Meet Heather and Travis Welle, a dynamic duo when it comes to home building. The husband and wife team of E Homes, Inc. have taken the Bismarck area by storm over the past six years. “We do in-house 3D architecture and plans and can make our clients’ Pinterest dreams come to life. Travis and I do all the plans for our clients. It’s important when you build the home to make sure the plan is solid and fits the client’s budget,” says Heather. “It’s our architecture capabilities that we offer that makes us unique. We’re able to manage the client’s expectations and desires through the bid phase as well as the design phase. We spend a lot more time with our client’s up front before the contract is signed so that our clients can make revisions in not only the budget, but the architecture. We enjoy sitting down and spending that quality time with our clients in order to ensure that there are no surprises. Education is key and we pride ourselves on educating our clients from the very start,” says Travis. To learn more about E Homes, Inc. visit ehomesnd.com and @Ehomes on Facebook.

Established in 2015, JE Homes is a family run residential home builder in the community. Jeran and his team build about 20 homes a year. “We go for a certain “feel” of the home which translates to a new homeowner well. We work great with budgets while still creating a luxury look for the client. The budget becomes very personalized with each one of our clients,” explains Jeran. JE Homes focuses on craftsmanship, especially when it comes to choosing insulation, airflow, materials, and window placement to provide the homeowner long term savings and low maintenance for many years to come. Jeran and his team are really eager to be a part of Silver Ranch since it is such a new development. “It is a large, wide open space that gives that out of town feel but you are so close to the center of town. I think northeast Bismarck needed to be opened up and this does that for Bismarck.” Says Jeran. To learn more about JE Homes visit jehomesnd.com and @jehomes on Facebook.

As an engineer, Brian looks at things from an infrastructure standpoint and loves to push the limits. “I would say we tend to try to pull in new techniques, innovations, technology into our product.
