- Luxury Custom Home Builder Serving South Denver Metro
With experience dating back to 1980, Founder Dave Jackson has spent decades shaping homes across the South Denver Metropolitan Area through thoughtful design, disciplined construction practices, and a commitment to creating spaces that truly fit the people who live in them. In 2017, he built on that legacy by establishing Jackson Design Build, bringing together a team dedicated to delivering luxury urban homes and expansive acreage estates with enduring craftsmanship and forward-thinking design.
A nationally award-winning builder and recipient of the 2025 “Homebuilders and Associates through Partnership” (HAP) Award from the HBA of Metro Denver, Jackson Design Build bridges the gap between time-honored craft and modern construction. Our foundation is legacy; our future is innovation.
With over 50 years of combined construction management experience, our team has overseen thousands of residential and commercial projects valued at hundreds of millions of dollars. Led by founder Dave Jackson and his son Billy Jackson, Jackson Design Build continues a legacy of fine craftsmanship, exceptional service, and client-centered design.
At Jackson Design Build, we don’t just build houses, we craft homes that reflect who you are. From day one, our custom home building company approach guides you through every decision, simplifies complex processes, and ensures your home is functional, beautiful, and energy-efficient. We merge traditional construction expertise with innovative, sustainable solutions tailored to your lifestyle.
Our design-build contractor model streamlines communication and reduces inefficiencies. We coordinate architects, engineers, and trade partners with the your goals at the center, making sure every detail — from grading plans to utility placement — works with your vision.
Renovations often involve uncovering existing conditions, adapting structural elements, and integrating new systems. We approach each remodel with investigative problem-solving, ensuring upgrades are cohesive, technically sound, and crafted to the highest standards of elegance and refinement.
In our first meeting we listen to everything you want to have in your new home. We ask questions and take detailed notes. We may even take photographs and measurements. Then we will explain how we can help you achieve your goals.
We assemble detailed descriptions of your project to clarify the “Scope of Work”. We may generate sketches, drawings, and product samples to better understand your preferences.
We present you with a detailed description of your proposed home along with a project timeline and cost estimate in the form of a Design Proposal and Agreement.
We discuss the Design Proposal with you in detail and answer your questions. We will make any necessary revisions for you and then we will sign off and have a Design Agreement in place. See sample Design Proposal / Agreement.
The list of required documents in the “CD Package” varies from project to project and with building department jurisdictions.
With a complete “CD package”, we can Execute a Construction Agreement. This agreement is our performance guarantee to you, referencing the documents in the CD package that define the project. The Construction Agreement also states the estimated construction cost, estimated timeline, and many other details relating to the proposed construction.
The next steps are to secure financing for the project so we can submit our CD Package for building permits. If needed, we often assist our clients with procuring construction financing by making referrals to our known and trusted construction lending partners. When project financing is in place, we will apply for building permits.
As we wait for building permit releases, we start ordering long lead-time products and visiting our partner showrooms to finalize all color and finish selections. We also start lining up our trades to start the first stages of construction.
When building permits are released, we can begin construction. As we go through construction, we will continue the process of finalizing products and finishes, revising the construction cost and timeline estimates, and building your custom home.
We will complete your home 100% before you move in. And as you move in and get settled we will be there for you if you need us, but we will deliberately stay out of your way until you are settled. Then we begin our one-month, six-month, and one-year warranty follow-up visits to get your 2-10 HBW warranty going.
Our commitment to community runs as deep as our commitment to craftsmanship, reflected in years of dedicated volunteer service.
Our commitment to homebuilding extends beyond our clients. Jackson Design Build serves the Denver community through long-standing volunteer work. Dave Jackson, a Past President and former Gifting Council Chair of the Home Builders Foundation (HBF), has completed dozens of no-cost home modification projects. Billy Jackson continues this service, leading volunteer teams on accessibility improvements and wheelchair ramp builds.
We also support Easter Seals Colorado with no- and low-cost remodels at the Rocky Mountain Village Camp, expanding accessibility for campers of all ages and abilities.
Our commitment to community is simple: build with integrity, give with purpose, and leave every space, and every life, a little better than we found it.
Craftsmanship that speaks for itself, trusted by homeowners and businesses alike.
