Building a custom home is one of the most exciting and rewarding projects you can take on—but choosing the right builder can make a big difference. With so many options out there, it’s important to work with a company you can trust to bring your vision to life while delivering quality craftsmanship and clear communication every step of the way.
If you’re searching for custom home builders near you, here’s what you should look for—and why homeowners across Sioux Falls and the surrounding area turn to Thorson Construction.
1. Look for Local Experience
When it comes to new construction, working with a builder who knows the local codes, climate, and permitting process is a major advantage. Thorson Construction is a locally owned and operated company with deep roots in the Sioux Falls region. We know what works—and what doesn’t—when it comes to building homes that last in South Dakota.
2. Review Their Portfolio and Past Work
A builder’s previous work speaks volumes. Ask to see photos of previously built custom homes, check out online reviews, and talk to previous clients. At Thorson Construction, we’re proud of the homes we’ve built and the relationships we’ve earned along the way. From traditional layouts to modern designs, our portfolio showcases a wide range of styles and craftsmanship.
3. Ask About Customization Options
Not all custom home builders offer the same level of flexibility. Some may only allow limited modifications, while others let you personalize every detail. We work closely with each client to create a home that reflects their lifestyle, design preferences, and long-term goals—from layout and materials to finishes and features.
4. Make Sure Communication Is a Priority
A smooth home building experience depends on open and honest communication. Your builder should keep you informed and involved throughout the entire process. Thorson Construction provides regular updates, walkthroughs, and clear timelines to ensure your questions are answered and your expectations are exceeded.
5. Check for Licensing, Insurance, and Warranty
Any reputable custom home builder should be fully licensed and insured, with clear warranty policies in place. We’re committed to quality and stand behind our work with transparent documentation and a strong warranty program that gives our clients peace of mind.
