Looking for Kansas City, Mo Spec Home Builder Referrals

[Tonio Bianca]

Good Afternoon BPers,

My partner and I recently picked up 3 lots in the Kansas City area, 64111. I was looking to see if anyone had recommendations for good spec home builders in the area (ideally with designs ready to go)?

We are still trying to lock down the land usability regarding size, but they will most likely be single family homes (maybe duplexes if we can get the city to approve).

Thanks in advance!

@Tonio Bianca if it is the lots I'm thinking of, they are zoned R-6, which will only permit a 2 unit house on the corner lot, in exchange for more open space via open space development or conservation development (which I would pursue, because the increase in setbacks is not that much more).

It does comes down to how many s.f. you can build after setbacks and open space. I think you can get about 1,200 s.f. floor plates at first glance. The 2 unit lot would require one entrance on each street.

There is also a lot of foot traffic past the lots I am thinking about (From Main Street west to Broadway), so consider that in your design. I work less than a mile from that intersection and know quite a bit about that area.

It's my goal to do the same type of new-build projects, so I wish you the best of luck on this property.  If I can help further from a boots on the ground perspective or answer any architectural questions, please feel free to PM me.
