Award-Winning Custom Home Design

Our custom home design awards aren’t something we chase. They’re the result of building every home to the same standard and letting the work speak for itself. Over the past two decades, judges, publications, and industry organizations across central Iowa have recognized what our clients already know: Claman builds differently.

What These Awards Mean for Your Home

Awards don’t build houses. People do. But when independent judges evaluate hundreds of homes across Central Iowa metro and choose ours for Best in Show, Best Kitchen, and Best Interior Design, that tells you something about the standard we hold.

It tells you our in-house designer, Erin, doesn’t settle. It tells you Jeff’s oversight produces results that stand out in a room full of competitors. It tells you our subcontractors deliver the kind of finish quality that wins custom home builder awards year after year.

When you build with Claman, you get the same team, the same process, and the same standards that produced every project listed below.
