We Only Build a Few Homes Each Year — and Why That’s a Good Thing

Have you ever wondered why some home builders pump out dozens (or even hundreds) of homes a year, while others—like us—choose to build just a handful? At our core, we’re a Boutique Home Builder serving Waukesha County, WI, and that choice is intentional. Here’s why taking it slow isn’t just better—it’s essential.

1. Personalized Craftsmanship Over Quantity

When you work with a Boutique Home Builder, you’re signing on for something far more special—more you—than a cookie-cutter home. As we say at Renz Construction, luxury isn’t just about high-end finishes—it’s about attention to detail, smart design, and homes built with pride from the ground up.

  • Hands-on oversight: We personally manage each project so nothing gets missed.
  • Carefully chosen teams: We work with tradespeople and vendors we trust and who share our commitment to quality.

If we took on too many builds, that kind of care and craftsmanship simply wouldn’t be possible.

2. Communication You Can Count On

Building a custom home should feel exciting—not overwhelming. That’s why we prioritize clear, responsive communication throughout the entire process.

When you partner with a Boutique Home Builder like us, you get:

  • Direct contact with Greg and Wendy, the people actually building your home
  • Transparent updates and realistic timelines
  • Prompt answers when questions come up

We only build a few homes a year so we can be fully present for each one.

3. Designed for You—Not the Masses

One of the best parts about custom homebuilding? The freedom and flexibility to create a home that’s uniquely for you.

With a limited number of projects, we can dive deep into what you want. That means:

  • Truly custom layouts, not modified templates
  • Unique finishes that reflect your personality
  • Flexibility for changes as your vision evolves

Want a hidden pantry, a dog wash, or a four-season room with lake views? Let’s make it happen—without having to fit you into a production mold.

4. Quality That Lasts for Generations

Mass home production and rushing leads to shortcuts. We don’t do shortcuts.

By focusing on fewer homes each year, we’re able to deliver:

  • High-quality materials you can feel the difference in
  • Careful work on everything from framing to tilework
  • Homes that hold up to Wisconsin weather, and then some

So, does this approach really pay off? The National Association of Home Builders confirms that custom builders offer more attention to detail, better finishes, and higher customer satisfaction than large-scale developers.

5. A Relationship, Not Just a Transaction

Working with a Boutique Home Builder is personal. At Renz, we live by “The Golden Rule” and treat our clients how we would want to be treated.

We don’t just hand you a key—we build relationships that last beyond move-in day.

Why Fewer Builds = A Better Experience

  • Your home gets undivided attention
  • You’re not just a number in a long queue
  • We focus on your goals, not sales quotas
  • Your vision is brought to life without compromise
