Testimonials

We are a family run business with over 15 years experience in the construction world. Josh grew up around construction and learned from a very young age as his family owned and operated a lumber hardware store just north of Lincoln, NE. It served many Home Builders Lincoln NE as well as handyman and other smaller, local contractors outside of Lincoln. Josh’s father also owned and operated a Construction business where they did everything from small repairs, remodels, pole sheds, roofing, siding, to full new construction builds. They even built houses on site at the Lumberyard from start to finish to be shipped out. Being around the construction world from a very young age and seeing first hand the hard work that is put into running your own business has helped Josh start and shape his own business into a successful, well known home builders Lincoln NE.
Josh has always enjoyed working with customers and helping them find a solution for any project that they may have but as time went on he felt the need to branch off and pave his own path. After college, Josh got into construction sales and worked with many Home Builders Lincoln NE and surrounding areas for over a decade helping them with their stone and fireplace needs. Building relationships with these Home Builders Lincoln NE helped Josh see first hand what it was like to own a new construction business in a bigger city like Lincoln. As Josh has always been a hands on person, he knew construction sales would not be his end game and his love for construction and desire to own his own business led him to building his own personal home in 2017. After getting back into the swing of being on-site and managing sub-contractors again, Josh started his own company and became a Home Builders Lincoln NE.
For Josh, one of the best parts of being a Home Builders Lincoln NE is making new connections and life long friendships with our clients. There have been so many clients that have turned into family friends and Josh enjoys making each job personal and meaningful to the homeowners and to Visionary Custom Homes. At Visionary Custom Homes, you’re not just another number, you are treated like family. We pride ourselves on customer service and our availability to our homeowners. A lot of other Home Builders Lincoln NE won’t physically be hands on and you will never see or talk to them again after the initial consultation, as you will most likely work with a Project Manager. Here at Visionary, Josh is involved in every project, knows what step it is in the construction phase, and is able to answer questions and concerns in a timely manner.
His wife Melanie is also heavily involved in the construction process from the first consultation meeting to every design and selection meeting. Melanie helps the homeowners select amenities that fits their overall vision. Melanie enjoys interior design and loves being able to make deeper connections with the homeowners by spending quality time with them when accompanying them at selection meetings. Melanie has been an entrepreneur herself in the Lincoln community as she owns a boutique and an event planning business. So Melanie knows the importance of networking and making new connections in the community which has helped her develop an eye for design and build long lasting relationships with subcontractors.
Together Josh and Melanie have two children, their eldest in 7th grade and their youngest in 3rd grade. Both kids are heavily involved in sports and other activities which makes life pretty busy in the evenings and weekends. But even with all the activities and commitments to their family life, Josh and Melanie always make time to ensure their homeowners are satisfied.
The number one comment we get from our homeowners is that we are always available for them and they are apprised of progress. We know communication is key and we ensure that through phone calls and our software program Builder Trend, which allows easy communication as well as a tracking mechanism for selections and change requests. It also has daily progress photos and a schedule of events to help the homeowner follow along with the process.
Most people see the construction progress and the beautiful end project, but there’s a lot of work that’s done behind the scenes. Our business wouldn’t be as streamlined and organized without our Administrative Assistant, Sara. Sara is our go to for all things back office, from budget to customer emails, from keeping subcontractors on track to ensuring correct amenities are ordered. Sara is the other pivotal piece to our company that helps this business run smoothly. Sara also comes from a wealth of knowledge in the construction world, as she has over a decade of experience in customer service for contractors sales.
