Whether you’re ready to start or still exploring, we’d like to hear what you have in mind. Reach out to our team, and let’s see if Claman is the right fit for your project.
We follow a proven process that simplifies custom home building while giving you full transparency and peace of mind.
A real person from our team will call or email you back. Not an auto-reply. Not a chatbot. A member of the Claman team who can actually answer your questions.
We'll schedule a brief call to learn about your vision. Where do you want to build? What matters most to you in a home? What does your timeline look like? This is a conversation, not a sales pitch.
If your project aligns with how we work, we'll walk you through the next steps. If it doesn't, we'll tell you that directly. No pressure. No follow-up calls, you didn't ask for.
Monday – Friday, 8 am – 5 pm CST. Call anytime. If we miss you, we'll call back the same day.
We respond to every email within 24 hours. Tell us as much or as little as you'd like about your project.
By appointment. We're happy to meet in person to discuss your project over coffee.

Common Questions
Nothing specific is required. If you have a lot picked out, a rough budget in mind, or inspiration photos saved, bring those along. If you're still at the "just thinking about it" stage, that works too. We meet families at every point in the process.

"Every project we take on starts with a conversation like the one you're about to have with us. I started this company in 2004 because I believed families in central Iowa deserved a better building experience, honest pricing, clear communication, and a home designed around their lives. Twenty years later, that hasn't changed. If you're thinking about building, I'd welcome the chance to hear what you have in mind."
