Well designed. Well built. Finished with care.

Architecture, construction and finish work, carried by one team from the first walk of the lot to the final walkthrough.

01 / 08

Design it with the people who will build it.

A good home is more than a floor plan. It is the framing, the cabinet fit, the tile lines and the finish work you see every day.

The people drawing the home stay close to the people building it.

Craftsmanship

Built carefully where it shows, and where it does not.

Thoughtful architecture sets the direction. Skilled crews and trusted trade partners make it real.

Structure

The work behind the walls matters as much as what you see when the home is finished.

Finish carpentry

Cabinetry, built ins and trim are planned for the room, then built by craftsmen who work closely with our team.

Is Newhouse a fit?

We build custom homes, cabins and major additions across the Black Hills, from large homes to simpler ones built on a careful budget. No land yet, no plans and no selections is a fine place to start. Small kitchen or bath remodels usually are not a fit.

Talk through your build.

Have land in mind? Let's look at it together. Tell us about the site, the timeline and the details that matter most.
