Three ways to start

Pick the first step that suits you.

Every path ends the same way: a fixed price for a finished building in your backyard, from the crew that will actually be on site.

Design it online

Choose a model, size and finish in the Design Center. Your configuration lands in our Lyons queue with local Front Range pricing attached — no national call center.

Start a new design →

Have us walk your lot

Mike or our local site specialist comes out, measures slope, checks setbacks and snow drift lines, and tells you what will fit. Usually within three business days.

Book a backyard visit →

Tour a finished one

Tour our Lyons fabrication yard and display models, plus owner-hosted tours in Denver and Boulder on the second Saturday of each month.

Colorado Front Range Testimonials

4.9 out of 5
142 Google reviews · Colorado team only

“Building an ADU in Boulder sounded daunting until we met Mike's team. They navigated the energy codes and city review seamlessly. The unit is warm through single-digit winters.”

Sarah & Mark K.· Boulder

“Our Denver lot has an alley with tight access. Studio Home craned the modular panels in cleanly without damaging our trees, and our tenant moved in two months ahead of schedule.”

David R.· Denver (Wash Park)

“Being able to walk through the Lyons yard and inspect the framing and cold-climate insulation gave us total confidence. True Colorado craftsmanship.”

Lisa M.· Fort Collins

“Fixed pricing meant fixed pricing. Foundation work in rocky Foothills soil was handled without surprise surcharges.”

Craig B.· Golden
