Your Local Custom Lake Home Builder In Southeastern Wisconsin

Your custom lake home deserves nothing less than the best minds behind its design, and the best builders behind its construction. After all, lake homes are unique, and in some cases, challenging. That’s why you need a specialized builder who knows what to look out for and how to achieve the best outcome. 

At Ware Design Build, we believe your dream home starts with a dream building experience. Right from the start, you’ll discover we’re different from the rest with a commitment to never restrict your vision. Rather, we empower you to realize the true potential of your dream home.

Our comprehensive approach brings the outside beauty into your home with smart designs that combine luxury living with lakefront views. Imagine floor-to-ceiling windows, wrapped porches that overlook the water, and perfectly angled living spaces that capture the best views. Not to mention, prime lake access from your property. We think of it all. 

After 40 years of mastering our process and building a cross-functional team of in-house architects, designers and builders, there’s no better team to trust with your vision. We work with a limited number of clients to ensure we adhere to our high standards of quality, service, and guidance during every step of the building journey.

We could not be happier with our new build with WARE Design Build!! I had a very specific look in mind for our house and we looked at A LOT of builders, ones that claimed to be "custom," but when it came down to it they couldn't achieve what we were looking for. WARE truly is custom.

The design process was my favorite, they let us be as involved as we wanted to, which was perfect because I'm rather opinionated. Their architect and designers sat down and really listened to what we wanted and were so knowledgeable. In fact, everyone in the office is so kind and friendly. Dan, the owner, has a great team!

Justin, our project superintendent, is on top of everything! This is the guy you want working on your dream home. His attention to detail is unmatched. All of the things that people say are so smart and cool when they see our house, were all of his ideas! I can't imagine our house being any other way, he is brilliant.

We will definitely be calling on WARE when we decide to build again!
