Dream Home Construction Has Become One Of The Lake's Most Reputable Builders. Here’s How They Did It

  • Updated

Dream Home Construction’s new building has become something of a local landmark.

As soon as Duane and Stephanie McCormack began the extensive cleanup of the cluttered property they purchased 2024, the project — in a highly visible spot on Highway 5 north of Camdenton — drew the public’s attention.

“We had lots of people ask us what we were doing. The property was an eyesore before we started — mostly metal scrap and old boats spread out over two acres,” Stephanie McCormack recalled. “People were so happy it was being cleaned up. They have told us it's the prettiest building on the west side of the Lake and that they love the design.”

That effort is emblematic of the skill and acumen Dream Home Construction brings to the table, when they sit down with a property owner and their dream.

At Dream Home Construction, custom means more than a floor plan — it means meeting clients wherever they are in the process and walking with them from vision to completion. A local, family-owned construction company, the team specializes in tailoring high-end custom homes.

“The best time to involve us is before the plans are finalized,” McCormack said. “We can evaluate the lot, work alongside the design team and help make sure the home is being planned around the client’s priorities and investment from the beginning.”

Dream Home Construction is the right pick for second homeowners who want a seamless, well-managed experience but who don’t live close enough to watch the process in person. By using project management software that provides up-to-date photos, billing information and real-time updates about who is on-site, homeowners get no surprises. “It keeps everyone up to date and in the loop. It’s the closest thing to them being here without actually being here,” McCormack explained.

With extensive knowledge of lot layout, drainage and septic planning, Dream Home Construction helps clients avoid costly mistakes before the first shovel hits the ground.

For example, the company holds a septic license — a critical advantage when evaluating what is often one of the biggest expenses tied to a lot. But Dream Home Construction doesn’t install septic systems — they subcontract that work. They just wanted the training so they can do their job better and ensure the house is positioned correctly to avoid problems later on.

That attitude doesn’t stop with septic. “We spend a lot of time going to classes so we are as knowledgeable as we can be about different parts of the process,” McCormack explained.

To make sure every customer gets the highest quality turnkey service, the McCormacks are involved through every step. “We remain personally involved from the early planning stages through completion,” McCormack said. “Our clients know who is responsible for their project, what is happening next and who they can call when they have a question.”

While the company’s experience spans many types of construction, Dream Home Construction is increasingly focused on thoughtfully planned custom homes, lake properties, additions and outdoor living spaces designed around the way families gather and enjoy the Lake.
