About Us

A focus on building the best home for the cost.

True Built Home was founded by Lewis Mann. He previously worked with HiLine Homes for more than three years as an independent contractor, selling their homes and learning the business (1998-2002). Later, he went on to co-found Reality Homes and worked there for three years.

When Lewis realized that some home builders focused on overselling instead of actually building the homes, he decided to create True Built Home with a focus on building the best home for the cost. Lewis also wanted to help educate homeowners so that they knew exactly what features and products were included in the price of their home. True Built Home would feature the best fixtures and finishes. He knew that it is far more important and offers more value to build a home with quality products than it is to have the cheapest square foot cost.

Why Choose True Built Home?

Straightforward Pricing

In order to provide straightforward information about our pricing, we show our prices by location right on each individual home’s page. This is how much it would cost to build the home, from the foundation to the fixtures and finishes.

Many other home builders show you a model home with tons of upgrades, and then only list the bare-bones starting price. Our awesome included standard features make our homes anything but bare-bones.

Our pricing includes high-quality, energy-efficient standard features in all of our homes - for no additional cost.

Want to customize a home plan, or add a daylight basement? No problem! Our Home Consultants can work up an accurate estimate for you, and we have an in-house Design team to make those changes for you.

High-Quality Standard Features

At True Built Home, we believe that fixtures and finishes really make the home something that you want to live in for the long term. Our pricing includes high-quality, energy-efficient standard features in all of our homes – for no additional cost. Head over to our Standard Features page to learn more about what we include in our price.
