Guaranteed Sale Program Innovative Design Process NIH Energy Package

Colt, Chad, Jeremy and Larry Skogquist
30 Years ago a carpenter by the name of Larry Skogquist started a custom home building business- calling it New Innovation Homes.
Now you wouldn’t expect a simple carpenter to turn the home building business upside down- but that was exactly his goal.
Larry’s mission was to build a customer-centric company vs. one focused on a product. He took the innovative approach of identifying how his customers lived and how they wanted to live- designing homes around their lifestyle and personality.
We call this the NIH Homes Innovative Design Process. You’ll call it the smartest way to build a home.
Today, Larry’s three sons, Jeremy, Chad and Colt are ready to help you the same way Larry has helped hundreds of other NIH Homes customers.
Why NIH?
Most builders start by showing you plans designed for someone else. At NIH we’ll start with you.
The better we can get to know you, what’s important/why it’s important and how you want to live your life- the better we can design your home and assist with product selections.
During our initial consultation we’ll walk you through our Innovative Design Process and the four different zones of our homes. By breaking your lifestyle into four areas, we take the intangible of “how you want to live in your new home”, and convert it into space planning and features.

Color coding our plans helps you better visualize the unique zones in our homes. Below are the four areas that encompass how a home lives.
Make sure you take our Livability at a Glance Quiz to determine how you want to live in your new home!
