SUMA D ESIGN & C ONSTRUCTION presents The Madison Model

This home actually inspired its builder, Mark Sumada of Suma Design and Construction, Inc., to forgo his season tickets to the Kansas City Chiefs games, and for good reason.

Once you take a tour, you will understand why this home sports some of the best seats in the house, for game day and every day!

Mark began working in construction and landscaping while still in high school and then studied architecture at the University of Kansas. He honed his skills by working with professors in the school, purchasing, remodeling and selling homes in Lawrence. That soon evolved into starting his own construction company building and framing new

homes. Over the past four decades, the experts at SUMA Design and Construction have mastered traditional and Tuscan styling of homes and are now motivated by a more modern style with crisp, clean lines, as evidenced by this show-stopper.

This reverse one and a half story home perfectly combines 4,000 square feet of living space into a flawless dream home. With four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, this contemporary showcase truly speaks to builder Mark Sumada’s raw talent, expertise and passion.

SAB H OMES

presents The Wildwood Model

Imagine building your dream home and feeling as if you are the builder’s one and only top priority. With SAB Homes, that’s basically how customers are treated. Not only are these professionals highly-skilled in their craft, they are also reliable, act with integrity, ensure each project is worthy of distinction and continually strive for excellence. Giving 100% to each and every endeavor is merely a baseline measure.

Since its inception in 1989, SAB Homes has been a strong leader in providing single-family and multi-family homes to buyers across the metro area. Owner Scott Bamesberger brings to the table not only a wealth of experience in the industry, but also balances that with a strong sense of value, a solid understanding of design and a commitment to quality. While building a home is not always an easy endeavor, SAB Homes puts its focus on the positive aspects of the building process and does not consider any job complete until the customer is completely satisfied. SAB Homes is synonymous with superior value, but never comprises quality to get to that level.

SAB Homes has its presence in numerous communities in Lee’s Summit, Raymore, Kansas City North and southern Johnson County and continues to search for other communities in the metro area in which to add its award-winning designs. No matter where

presents The Pepperwood Model When you partner with Ashlar Homes, LLC to build your dream home, you have joined forces with a company that builds the strongest and most durable homes, coupled with a lasting promise of unwavering quality. To understand that quality, however, is to understand the meaning of the word “ashlar.” By definition, ashlar refers to prepared stonework from any type of stone. In past generations, ashlar blocks were frequently used to construct buildings symbolizing strength and progress. To that end, an Ashlar

One of Ashlar Homes’ premier designs is the Pepperwood. This captivating reverse one and a half floor plan has been making a name for itself the past couple of years due to its spacious and versatile floor plan. With 1,700 square feet of living space on the main floor alone, this home offers a host of features that truly make it a leader of the pack.

Jaw-dropping. That is one word by which to describe this incredible work of art. If you are at a loss for words when first laying eyes on this masterpiece, then join the crowd. Bursting at the seams with unique personality and style, if it initially catches your eye, then it will most likely ultimately capture your heart. The architectural signature of this home truly puts it in a class by itself, and its builder has good reason to put his own stamp on it as part of his outstanding portfolio.

As owner of Faust Construction in Pleasant Hill, Missouri, Brian Faust put great passion into this home, but that is nothing unusual for a builder who truly enjoys the industry. Now in its 11th year of business, Faust Construction has been making dreams come true with homes throughout many parts of the metro area, most notably in northern Johnson County, Mission Hills, Leawood and Prairie Village. A graduate of Central Missouri State University with a B.S. degree in Construction Science & Management, Faust began his career on the commercial aspect of the business but did some residential work on the side to further expand his skill set. That eventually led to working with an architect on some modern lofts downtown, a style

“Our base price is where upgrades are standard,” he emphasized.

“We install upgraded carpet, tile and hardwood in each home so the customer does not have to come back and ask for upgrades.

Among those upgrades include 3 1/2” standard casing, back band around the perimeter of door casing and windows and upgraded moldings throughout the home.

A revised model of this home is also in development, blending the Tuscan beauty with a craftsman appeal.

presents The Bailey Model

It’s impossible to walk through any Roeser-built home and not feel like a kid in a candy store. From the moment you pull into the driveway and are greeted by incredible style and charm, you know you are in for a real treat. It’s almost as if living in one of these homes is akin to wearing an impressive outfit, as friends and family will undoubtedly note, “This home is so amazing,” to which you can respond, “Why, thanks.

It’s a Roeser.”

But before you enter this home in the Canyon Creek subdivision in Lenexa, Kansas, you have to meet the builder. Laid back and easy going, Austin Roeser presents as just a regular guy, the kind you’d like to have as a neighbor and certainly the type who would come over on a warm Saturday evening and help you fire up the backyard grill. Do not confuse his relaxed demeanor, however, with lack of drive and ambition when it comes to designing and building homes. To that end, he is all about quality, integrity, honesty, and, if it’s not obvious yet, some pretty cool designs. His flair for unique style and attention to detail propel him to the top of the class when it comes to top-notch home builders in the metro area, and this particular

Just off the kitchen and next to the garage entry is a mudroom area complete with built-in cubbies. A half bath is situated at the end of the hall and a butler bar is located on the other side of the mudroom. Outfitted with tile backsplash sporting a stainless steel round patterned design, this cozy bar is the perfect spot to prepare beverages for guests and store your favorite glassware.

As you make your way upstairs, prepare to feel as if you have entered a luxurious hotel where four bedrooms eagerly welcome you. Two bedrooms are separated by a full bathroom and a third bedroom enjoys its own full bathroom and can serve as a cozy guest retreat. All of these secondary bedrooms feature vaulted ceilings and walk-in closets.

Eleven foot ceilings are standard in the master bath and closet and the walk-in shower features dual shower heads. All other bathrooms in the home have tubs with accompanying shower heads.

Nick Zvacek, owner of Zvacek Construction, LLC, based in Pleasant Hill, Missouri, practically cut his teeth in the home building industry. A third generation builder, he began working on his framing skills at just 14 years of age, working alongside his father and grandfather. Today, Zvacek has proven that honing a specific set of skills over a

long period of time results in remarkable talent, and his top selling designs evidence those strengths.

Among his best sellers is the Madeline, a reverse one and a half floor plan. This particular model is located in the Chapel Hill subdivision at 179th and Pflumm in southern Overland Park. Although constructed from an original blueprint, Zvacek is more than happy to modify the plan to meet the customer’s needs.

“Many of our plans evolve from certain requests of the customer,” emphasized Zvacek.

“And I am flexible when it comes to modifying the original blueprints. Alternatively, we can completely design a new home from the ground up.”

With so much to offer, it’s a challenge to know where to begin when highlighting all of the extraordinary features in this 3,059 square foot dream home. Most notable are the two spacious bedrooms on the main level, one being the master suite and the other

What might be an expensive option on some homes is completely standard with Zvacek’s designs.

“I provide something at this price point that few builders do,” explained Zvacek, referring to the complete home theater with surround sound, TV and related equipment by Keith Stewart, owner of Custom Connections, which are all part of the standard package for this home.

Another hidden gem is the 2’ x 2’ loading door access into the pantry from the garage, which has been a popular request from customers in recent years.

“You can just unload your groceries from the car directly into your pantry before you even walk into the house,” noted Zvacek.

On the lower level, a second fireplace provides a relaxing element and a kitchenette complete with a mini refrigerator, sink and dishwasher make casual entertaining a breeze. The tile backsplash adds a pop of personality to the space and when you

ACM H OMES

presents The Gracia Model Adam McGovern and his brother, John, have had their hands in the building trade before they could even drive a car. One of their first creations as young boys was a unique and daring version of a treehouse, using wood scraps from their father’s construction business. While it never fulfilled all of the requisite city code requirements, it proudly stood as a testament to their passion for creating homes that inspire tradition and a sense of family. That treehouse –– and a few others just like it –– are no longer around, but Adam and John continued to branch out in other areas over the ensuing years, taking their combined building, engineering and architectural skills to a whole new level with their

One of the main components in upgrading to greater energy efficiency is the choice ACM Homes has made with respect to insulation. Typical to the industry is R13 insulation, which is now the required minimum, but ACM Homes considers R23 insulation the standard for their homes.

“When exterior walls are insulated, the cavity between the studs is filled and the thickness of that insulation is limited by the width of the stud,” noted John. “We have an extra two inches in all exterior walls just as a starting point, and on top of that we incorporate blownin cellulose insulation. This type of insulation method helps to seal all of the small cracks that can exist in the envelope of the house, including the areas where corners meet and air can get in and out.”

A strong focus is also placed upon the heating and cooling units in the homes.
