Custom home builder in Fort Worth, TX.
Owner-operated luxury custom home builder serving Fort Worth's west and north sides - Westover Hills, Rivercrest, Tanglewood, TCU, Mira Vista - and the acreage tracts toward Aledo.
The Fort Worth builder for the west side, the estate streets, and the acreage just outside the city.
Open Prairie is an owner-operated builder with three decades of regional experience, focused on luxury one-off homes, tear-downs in established neighborhoods, and whole-home renovations. Dan manages every project personally.
Fort Worth's west and north sides aren't production-builder territory - the lots are established, the neighborhoods have architectural character, and the work rewards a builder who knows the city's plan review, zoning, historic overlays, and floodplain rules. Roughly half our Fort Worth work is new construction on infill lots and acreage; the other half is tear-down rebuilds and whole-home renovations treated like new construction.
Fort Worth sits on Cretaceous outcrop clay soils, so foundations are engineered to the soil report. Real basements are possible here - and they're one of our specialties.
