Built for Plano families
Four reasons North Texas families have hired Open Prairie over the high-volume builders working the same zip codes for nearly thirty years.
Local Since 1995
We have been building in this region since before most of the new subdivisions had names. Every relationship Open Prairie needs to get your job done - engineers, inspectors, trades - already exists and is two decades deep.
Owner on Every Job
Dan Schlaak walks every job site weekly and runs every weekly client meeting himself. You will not be passed off to a project manager who has never met you.
Acreage Builds Done Right
Septic, well, road, pad, tree management, and dust control - things production builders treat as add-ons. We treat them as the job.
Two-Decade Warranty Track Record
Some of our earliest homes are now in their second owner. The warranty we wrote for the first owner still applies, and we still answer the phone. Ask anyone in town.

Building a Custom Home in Plano, TX
The questions Plano, TX families ask us most often before starting a custom home in this market.
Current Open Prairie projects in Plano, TX typically run $1.2M to $3.8M for the home itself, on lots ranging from 1 to 20 acres. Per-square-foot costs land between $340 and $550 depending on finish level and whether the home includes a basement. Land is separate.
Plan on 12–14 months from groundbreaking, plus 3–5 months of design and Collin County permitting beforehand. Most of our homes deliver within two weeks of the original target date because we build a small number at once and the schedule actually gets attention.
In most cases, yes - and we are one of the only builders in the region who do them correctly. Soil varies block to block, which is why most builders refuse. We work with engineers we have used here for two decades.
On most acreage outside the city limits, yes. The cost varies dramatically based on depth-to-water and percolation rates. We coordinate the soil testing, the well drilling contractor, the septic engineer, and the inspection sign-offs - all included in our scope.
Yes. Most of the acreage subdivisions here have architectural review committees with their own rules about exterior materials, roof pitch, fence types, and outbuildings. We handle the submittal and any revision cycles as part of the design phase.
Modern Texas farmhouse remains the most-requested style - limestone or brick base, board-and-batten or stone gables, standing-seam metal accents, and big covered outdoor living. Traditional ranch, Hill Country contemporary, and transitional plans are also common. We do not have a house style; we build yours.
