“We just closed on our custom-built Discovery Builders home! Working with Alex and Kirsti was wonderful, and we were able to create a home that we will love for years to come. We handled much of the process via email, as we lived out of state, but even that went smoothly and we always got prompt replies to our questions or concerns. We haven’t been here long, but I can say that thus far we are very impressed with the quality of the workmanship in our new home. I would highly recommend Discovery Builder’s homes.”

“I couldn’t be more happy with our new house from Discovery Builders. They have been so helpful every step of the home buying process. Project Manager Brian was attentive to details when we walked through our house together. He pointed out things that needed to be fixed that we would not have noticed as first time homebuyers. For our final walkthrough, he went over all the things we had discussed fixing previously. Everything was fixed perfectly. Everyone that we have met with through Discovery Builders has been attentive, helpful, and kind. We highly recommend them!”

“This has been a while coming but we finally made it! Yay! Discovery has been completely thorough throughout the entire process. They have kept us informed with every step and the finished product is absolutely beautiful. On the day of closing we went through the final inspection with every little thing addressed on prior inspection. They went through all of the various warranties they covered down to the last dot. We have never been happier and HIGHLY recommend Discovery builders.“

As a custom home builder with more than 30 years of experience, we focus on building high-quality homes with thoughtful layouts, enduring craftsmanship, and personalized details that make each home truly one of a kind.
From unique architectural touches to finishes that add character and value, every home is designed to reflect the needs and style of its owner. Our award-winning team is grounded in trust, integrity, and a commitment to customer satisfaction that extends well beyond the sale. The Southern Indiana communities we develop are built to last, and built with care.
We build semi-custom homes in thoughtfully designed neighborhoods and also offer build-on-your-lot services for clients who already own or are purchasing land in Southern Indiana. Many of our homes are built from a curated set of floor plans that you can personalize, while others are move-in ready for buyers who want a quicker timeline. As a custom home builder, we focus on flexibility, craftsmanship, and delivering homes tailored to your lifestyle.
We offer both options. If you own land or are under contract on a lot in Southern Indiana, we’re happy to evaluate it and build your home there. We also develop our own communities with ready-to-build lots and carefully planned neighborhoods. Whether you’re looking to build on your own property or prefer one of our communities, we’ll guide you through the process from start to finish.
Yes. If you already own land or are under contract, we offer a one-time complimentary lot evaluation. A member of our team will conduct an on-site visit to assess its basic suitability for construction. If the lot is a fit, we can then begin planning your custom home.
Yes, we often have move-in ready homes available for buyers who want to skip the full construction timeline. These homes are built with the same high-quality materials and finishes as our semi-custom homes and are ready for immediate or near-term occupancy. Contact us to find out what’s currently available or coming soon.
Yes, we guide you through the entire design process to ensure your home reflects your unique vision. With our “Our Plan, Your Way” approach, you’ll have the flexibility to customize the floor plan and design details while still benefiting from the quality and structural integrity we’re known for as a custom home builder.
During the contract phase, we collaborate closely to outline specifications that fit your budget and preferences. From there, we develop detailed plans and documentation that define your project scope and serve as the foundation for construction. Once everything is finalized, we formalize it in a contract or purchase agreement, giving you clarity and peace of mind as we move forward.
We’re committed to building homes that meet or exceed local codes, as well as your expectations. Our construction standards include:
Our home-building process typically takes 7 to 11 months from start to finish.
It begins with a consultation phase (2–4 weeks) where we discuss your goals, budget, and financing, including help with selling an existing home if needed.
The contract phase (2–4 weeks) follows, where we finalize your design and custom specifications.
Construction itself takes 6–8 months and includes foundation work, framing, and finishes. During this time, you’ll work closely with a designer to select your materials and features.
Finally, we’ll guide you through a closing process (1–2 weeks) that includes a final walkthrough, inspection, and homeowner orientation.
We encourage collaboration and communication every step of the way. You’ll have the opportunity to select finishes and make floor plan customizations, guided by our team and your dedicated project manager. We’ll keep you updated regularly and are always available to answer questions. After move-in, our post-closing team remains available for continued support, and your home is covered by our warranty and 11-month callback service.
All our homes include durable, high-quality exterior materials designed for both performance and style. Standard features include energy-efficient thermopane windows, cohesive exterior finishes, and a basic landscaping package with low-maintenance trees, shrubs, and sod suited to Southern Indiana’s climate. Depending on your plan, we also offer optional outdoor upgrades like patios and walkways to expand your living space.
You’ll be supported by a dedicated project manager who oversees your home from the early planning stages through closing. This person will serve as your primary point of contact, providing regular updates and answering any questions you have along the way. Our team approach ensures you always know who to reach out to, and that your home is progressing according to plan.
Every new home we build is backed by a comprehensive builder warranty. This includes a complimentary 11-month callback to address cosmetic settling issues, as well as structural and system coverage ranging from 2 to 10 years depending on the component. Our service team is here to support you throughout your homeownership journey.
We’re a fixed-price builder. That means the price in your contract includes all agreed-upon selections and upgrades. If you decide to make changes after construction has started, we’ll walk you through a formal change order process and clearly explain any cost impacts. For off-site builds, additional charges may apply if the site requires unusual excavation, engineering, or soil remediation. Nothing moves forward without your approval.
While we don’t offer in-house financing, we work closely with trusted local lenders who specialize in new construction. One of our preferred partners is Katie King at Signature Mortgage, who has deep experience helping clients navigate the home-building loan process. We’re happy to connect you to the right lending partner for your needs.
We closely monitor the lending timeline and stay in communication with your lender to help prevent delays. We recommend working with Katie King at Signature Mortgage, who understands our construction process and can navigate challenges efficiently. If an issue arises, we’ll work with your lender to find solutions and keep you informed at every step.
