The design process was well done with special attention to accomodations for handicapped accessibility that were important to us. This included wider doorways, a zero entry shower, grab bars and the installation of a ramp and an elevator. The elevation of our home was also lowered and has allowed both of us to feel comfortable and safe in our new home.

We weren’t looking to sell our home of over 30 years, but fate had other plans. Bob and Dave were extremely helpful. They stepped in and assisted in the pre sale list of “to dos” and were always readily available to answer any and all questions. It was a very easy transition.

This was our first new construction, so we were a bit apprehensive. We looked at other builders but found DDK to have superior craftsmanship and quality options and were also willing to work with us as we required some customized changes to the floor plan.Through no fault of theirs, we had a couple of delays, but the closing went smoothly and we are happy with one level living! The lots are unique and offer the feeling of country living in the city.

The crew and assorted contractors were also very respectful and accommodating to questions and special requests. We would highly recommend DDK Realty and Construction!
Respectfully,

We carried out our entire purchase and construction process long-distance, sight unseen. Dave earned our trust early on with his open, easygoing, yet attentive to details style. It was a pleasure to work with him from our first introduction through to closing of the sale and beyond…. he still checks in, and he has personally helped us manage unavoidable pandemic-associated delays in our appliance deliveries. He made the purchase process totally transparent, and patiently and efficiently indulged all of our detailed questions from 1400 miles away.

The construction process and the quality of the final product were similarly excellent. Tim was generous with his time in walking us through schematics, doing video walk-throughs, and responding quickly and clearly when we had questions. He also treated our home build is if it were his own, doing things like proactively raising questions for us to consider based on the way the details were coming together. It would have been faster & simple to simply press on with the agreed-upon plan. He clearly cares about individual outcome for each homeowner. Finally, and importantly, we really love our new DDK home! We have had nothing but compliments from our first round of visitors.

Thanks to DDK Real Estate & DDK Construction! We’d recommend both to anyone!

We built our villa with DDK construction in 2020. We looked at several builders and villa developments. What separated DDK was location, value, and quality as well as design vs other builders. We have found that DDK was using quality construction materials such as Hardy siding and Trex decking. DDK separated themselves from other builders by allowing custom to semi-custom changes. We have found other builders to be unwilling to make any modifications to their existing floorplans or finishing touches. We really felt that DDKs flexibility allowed us to have a large amount of input as to what our final build would be for us. DDK has been very responsive and great to work with through the process as well as our 30 day and one year walk through. We would not hesitate to build with DDK again as they made the process easy and stress free.

We had been in search of a villa with a private setting for over 2 years. Once we heard about DDK’s development at the Chaska Bluff Villas we were extremely excited about the location. We met with DDK Real Estate and specifically Dave to determine their timeline and overall plans for the development. We really wanted to see the Chaska Bluff Villa model completed before we committed as we felt that was the home design we wanted. During the build of the model, both Dave and Bob were extremely welcoming and allowed us to follow DDK along throughout the entire process.

Once the model was about 30 days from completion, we were convinced this was the home and development we were looking for and we began the formal contractual process. DDK was a pleasure to work with during this process and they were able to turn around our requests very promptly. We ended up signing a purchase agreement about one week before the start of the pandemic and we were very worried about our expected close date and trying to time that with the sale of our existing home. The closing date of our new home stayed on time as originally scheduled.

Dave, Bob and DDK were extremely helpful and allowed us to go into the model for various measurements throughout our selection and build process. They were very accommodating throughout the entire process and did a good job of communicating the timelines for various items. We had built a home once before and were familiar with the process. We have found working with a smaller custom builder allows one the ability to get to know nearly everyone and allows you to ask questions and make changes as needed. DDK gave us tours of the DDK office and cabinet shop and there is something comforting about the fact we were able to meet numerous people that were helping to build our home.

We really loved the fact that we had a base model to start with and could still customize this model to our specific needs. I don’t believe there was anything that we asked for that they couldn’t or wouldn’t accommodate. Thus far we have found that the quality has been very good, and they have worked with us to resolve any issues that we encountered after our closing took place. We were very happy with the build process and with our decision to select DDK to build our home. We love our new home and the great neighborhood and new friends we have made through this entire process!

We were very fortunate to meet up with Mr. Tim Heiland from day one, who helped us immensely in planning our new home. As a VP construction Manager, Tim was very knowledgeable about the Design process; construction of the house; schedule and materials concerns; budget numbers; and building a Quality One house. Having myself spent 47 plus years in the construction industry; I can personally attest to Tim’s Skill, Integrity, and Trust in all our communications regarding our Custom home build.

We had many questions and concerns in the design phase. Tim with his open-door policy, and good communication always helped us find the right layout, or best material for the area in question. Tim just to let you know, Lillian loves her Kitchen counter tops that you suggested; Thank you!

During construction I was able watch DDK in house carpenters at work. It was obvious that they took pride in their work, taking no short cuts, having a clean site, and finishing with a High-Quality House in all respects. We love our new Dream Home; Thank you DDK and Team for all your hard work. We can Highly Recommend DDK CONSTRUCTION INC. / for anyone considering the building or buying of your new home.

Design Process: Julie and I were very happy with the Design process. Tim Heiland (VP Construction Services) was very helpful in helping us design our home and was able to make any changes we had from the model we picked out. We were glad we chose to build with DDK over a national builder as we were able to do several changes the at wanted in the home and they were flexible with us on everything.

Construction Process: The construction process went very well. We were kept informed on the timeline of our construction and the closing date was very close to original plan. We were very impressed that everything came together so well given the time we were in with Covid and possible material delays. Tim did a great job in advising and recommending features, etc. in our home. He is very talented in this area and his expertise was appreciated!

Communication: Communication with us from Tim Heiland, Dave VanOrden and Bob Wingert was outstanding. We either received communication via email or phone on a weekly basis. This is also the second home we have built with DDK and because of the great past experience we had was a reason we chose to build again with them!

We are very happy with our home and a great neighborhood. We have had numerous compliments from friends and relatives on our home and glad we made the decision to build with DDK Construction!!

We chose DDK to build our home after a yearlong search that included many different builders. DDK provided an open unique floor plan with character, a willingness to customize, along with, high quality craftsmanship and building materials.

The design and planning process was so thoughtful that we wouldn’t change a thing. Communication from start to finish was consistent and effective. Tim has an amazing way of rolling with the punches and even kept our build on time despite the challenges of the pandemic. The knowledgeable DDK Real Estate Team guided us through the construction process, providing countless invaluable options to consider every step of the way. Our closing experience was easy and painless, thanks to them.

DDK is professional, honest, flexible and has the most talented and pleasant team you can imagine, all of which has extended beyond our closing date. We are so pleased with the quality and beauty of our new home and look forward to enjoying it for years to come!
