What Our Customers Are Saying:

"We had a great experience building our new custom home with Empire Built, Inc. We picked a plan that looked very close to what we wanted & then sat down with Bruce Meyer & Chuck Truitt to make it exactly what we dreamed of. We moved the walls, adjusted the size of the rooms & picked the architectural design features that made it most unique. Initially, we had a hard time believing they would be able to build the entire house from concept to completion in 90 days, but Empire Built was spot on! When finished, they came back to ensure everything was the way we wanted it. We would highly recommend Empire Built, inc. to anyone looking to build their custom dream home."
