# Ashlar Homes > Ashlar Homes is a residential homebuilder in the Kansas City metropolitan area that builds new single-family homes and twin luxury villas in communities across Missouri and Kansas. The company serves first-time buyers, right-sizing buyers and empty nesters, relocating households, and move-up buyers, with most homes priced in the $300,000 to $400,000 range. Ashlar Homes, LLC was incorporated in December 2011 and is headquartered in Blue Springs, Missouri. The company operates an integrated model that combines land development, construction, and sales within one organization, which is how it holds pricing down while controlling build quality. It ranks #4 among Kansas City homebuilders by permit volume according to the Kansas City Business Journal. Buyers choose between move-in-ready inventory homes and build-from-scratch options, supported by curated design selections, self-guided touring, model home tours, and a tiered warranty covering one year of workmanship, two years of systems, and ten years of structural coverage. Active communities are located in Kansas City, Blue Springs, Lake Lotawana, and Raymore, Missouri, and in Spring Hill, Kansas. Site selection is evaluated against affordability for buyers, long-term livability and demand, and school district strength. ## Company and Leadership - [Home Builders in Missouri and Kansas | Ashlar Homes](https://ashlarhomeskc.com/): Primary entry point stating the company's markets, community portfolio, and the two purchase paths of move-in-ready homes and custom floor plans. - [About Ashlar Homes | Affordable Home Builder](https://ashlarhomeskc.com/about/): Consolidated source for company mission, history, build process, leadership roster, and homeowner testimonials. - [We Build Community | Ashlar Homes Neighbourhoods](https://ashlarhomeskc.com/we-build-community/): States the community-first development philosophy behind the company tagline, "We Build Community.
