While we do not build homes ourselves, we work with a trusted network of contractors who can help you turn our plans into reality.

Our plans are tailored more towards those collaborating with professionals, like general contractors (GCs) or specialized builders. This approach ensures that the unique features and design intricacies of our buildings are executed to the highest standard.

We offer pre-designed construction plans, affordable customizations, contractor referrals, as well as advisory services for planning, materials sourcing, and more.

Absolutely! Over a hundred DEN homes have been built around the country. Many of these structures are privately-owned; however, some are available for short term rental through Airbnb. We've even launched our own owned and operated DEN Showroom in Rhinebeck, NY. See if there's a DEN available for rent near you here.

DEN started in the Hudson Valley region of New York. Today, the DEN teams live throughout the US.

DEN is broadly available in the lower 48 states. We have had successful builds in almost every single state in the US. We are currently awaiting confirmation of the first projects in Alaska and Hawaii. Many customers in Canada have localized DEN designs to Canadian building code.

DEN does not stamp plans. Plan stamping requires requires a level of local expertise that DEN cannot offer. We recommend that customers use DEN plans to find a local architect or engineer with deep familiarity with local conditions and inspection requirements to secure a stamp. Read more here

DEN's plans, customization services, and contractor matching program is designed for individuals who have purchased land and secured capital to begin developing that property. Some of our customers have purchased plans before buying land to envision the scope of their project or to imagine what it is that they want to build, but generally speaking, it is helpful to have a specific site in mind, and financing in place prior to engaging DEN to provide preconstruction services.
