Building Beyond the Blueprint

Every family's needs are different. That's why we've reimagined the new construction experience to offer both structure and flexibility. When you build with AP Builders, you're never choosing from a generic template, you're shaping a space around your lifestyle.

From our popular ranch and colonial home plans to creative upgrades like pet-friendly designs, smart home features, and hidden storage solutions, we make it easy to personalize the details that matter most. As custom home builders, we empower you to take our award-winning floor plans and tailor them with architectural finishes, layouts, and selections that reflect your personality and style.

Our homes stand apart because they're designed with you in mind—down to the baseboards.

We've spent decades perfecting the way we build, and our results speak for themselves.

Build timelines typically range from 6 to 9 months, depending on the plan, weather, and customization level. We also offer immediate occupancy homes that are ready now.

Absolutely. We offer virtual tours online and in-person model home tours at both Waldon Reserve and Encore of Shelby. Schedule a private appointment with our sales team.
