How We Do It.


We’re often asked about our ability to deliver spacious homes with remarkable architectural detail in gorgeous neighborhoods for much less money than others. The answer is simple. Our Homebuilding Smart System increases efficiencies, optimizes material usage, shortens construction times and leads to superior quality homes for less cost. These disciplines make it possible for us to build exceptional homes, provide incomparable service and ensure complete customer satisfaction from day one. 

Precise Planning 


  • Smart Flow

    Building a home requires the scheduling of numerous processes, contractors and suppliers. Typically, these steps are not done in an efficient manner. Over the years, Allen Edwin has developed a smarter way to manage the process that leads to significant savings. By focusing on a daily volume of business throughout the entire building process, each critical step is managed each and every day. This unique approach to homebuilding increases productivity, decreases waste and leads to superior value for our customers. 

  • Centralized Scheduling

    Scheduling practices can greatly affect the cost and quality of a home. At Allen Edwin, we utilize a central scheduling system that provides consistency to our suppliers and contractors while freeing up your Personal Builders to focus on the goal of delivering quality and ensuring ultimate satisfaction for our customers.

  • Supply Chain Optimization

    An additional benefit of Centralized Scheduling and Smart Flow is the opportunity to optimize the process of home delivery. Just in time delivery practices are utilized to decrease inventory and lower delivery costs. In addition, by paying our vendors weekly, we’re able to receive early payment discounts and attract top suppliers at better prices. Once again, by being smarter we are decreasing costs while increasing quality.

Controlled Costs


  • Value Engineering

    The first rule in reducing costs is to reduce waste. On any given job site, waste exists in the form of labor and materials. Through collaboration with contractors and suppliers, Allen Edwin has worked diligently to value engineer the home to optimize efficiency and quality, while minimizing waste. This disciplined process leads to a better quality home at a better price.  

  • Low Cost Producer

    Allen Edwin is as committed to controlling all building costs associated with our homes. This is achieved by creating low operating overhead, low operating variances, high productivity and greater efficiency. The benefit you get by choosing an efficient, low cost builder is a lower cost home and a better value.

  • Builder & Developer Benefit

    One of the most significant costs of a home is the land it is built upon. By owning our own excavation company and developing the land in the majority of our communities, Allen Edwin is able to significantly decrease the overall cost of the home. Once again, through being highly efficient and focused, Allen Edwin is able to pass on a superior value to you.

Careful Management


  • Built-In Quality

    From the early stages of design to the final inspection, Allen Edwin has gone to great lengths to implement quality standards and practices. This means building quality into the home throughout the process. Several industries outside of homebuilding have utilized this philosophy to significantly increase the final quality of their products. Allen Edwin has adopted these philosophies along with our daily inspection processes to create a system that ensures we build quality and reliability into every home.

  • Controlled Volume

    By controlling the number of homes we build on a daily, weekly and annual basis, this allows us to give each home the attention it deserves while delivering higher quality products on schedule. Though limiting production volume may not be viewed as best for other builders, at Allen Edwin we believe it’s best for those who matter most - our customers.

  • Shortened Cycle Time

    As the saying goes, and it’s very true in homebuilding, “time is money.” By taking advantage of Smart Flow, Centralized Scheduling and Controlled Volume we’re able to significantly decrease the amount of time it takes to build the home. Our streamlined process to decrease costs leads to superior home value on the day you move in.

Superior Products


  • People & Products that Perform

    Allen Edwin is committed to only utilizing top, brand name products selected to ensure quality and service. In addition, we believe the individuals working on the home are as important as the products they are installing. We go to extreme measures to ensure we team up with quality contractors and suppliers who will get the job done right. Rest assured, at Allen Edwin you’ll have peace of mind that your home is being built by the best with the best.
