LITTLE ROCK Bret Franks Construction
Bret Franks, a member of the Southern Living Custom Builder Program, founded his company in 2000. A former CPA, Bret decided it was time to turn his passion for building and architecture into a career. Today, he handles both newhome construction and remodels. “While I’m drawn to projects with traditional, Southern architecture that stand the test of time,” he says, “I enjoy incorporating other elements that my clients envision. I understand that building is a personal experience, and that is exactly what we deliver.”
Bret credits his success to his work ethic and his transparency with clients. Planning and budgeting elements come natural for a CPA. “I have a time-tested process that starts with meeting the client to determine goals and culminates with an itemized budget and list of project details.” He personally oversees the construction process rather than relying on a foreman. “I keep my number of ongoing projects at a point that allows me to ensure the quality of every build.”

BENTON Bragg + Kennedy Homes
Bragg + Kennedy Homes has been a family business from the start. Founded in 1975 as Dewayne Bragg Construction, current principal Gary Kennedy joined the company helmed by his father-inlaw 13 years ago. Prior to moving to central Arkansas, Gary gained experience in the industry while also earning his master’s degree in real estate development and construction from the University of Memphis. In addition to drafting house plans and building, Gary’s wife, Lindsey, provides interior design services, allowing the company to create a completely custom look for each client. “I’ve wanted to be a builder and developer since I was a kid,” he says. “I love that the job includes very detailed work but also mixes in the larger visions involved in design and neighborhood development.” Bragg + Kennedy Homes takes pride in creating a seamless experience as well as a beautiful end result. “We do everything we can to make sure the plan is as perfect as possible on the front end,” Gary says. “Having a quality custom builder walk you through the process is pivotal to being happy with your new home.” trendsetters THE HUSBAND-WIFE TEAM BEHIND BRAGG + KENNEDY HOMES BRINGS DECADES OF BUILDING AND DESIGN EXPERIENCE TO EACH PROJECT

HOT SPRINGS Carriage Custom Homes
With a career beginning in 1971, this marks Doug Rodgers’ 50th year in the home building industry. After attending the University of Arkansas–Fort Smith, he followed in the footsteps family when he started working in construction. In 2000, he and his wife, Lain, founded Carriage Custom Homes. With her experience in home décor as well as real estate, Lain is also able to lend her expertise to the company’s projects. “We’re a dynamic duo who have built approximately 6,000 houses,” Doug says, noting many of these homes were in Dallas before returning home to Arkansas. Now, the majority of their projects are in Hot Springs and Hot Springs Village.
Carriage Custom Homes offers competitive pricing, exceptional customer service, quick communication, and connections to craftsmen and subcontractors whose work is high-quality and long-lasting. We’ve watched many changes in style and colors over the years,” Lain says. “If there’s one thing that has stayed the same, it’s that people always appreciate the quality of a Carriage home.”

BUILDING SETBACKS:A COMMUNITY-FOCUSED DEVELOPMENT The Preserve at The Woodlands
CERTIFICATE OF ENGINEERING ACCURACY: In business for more than 40 years, Bosley Construction, Inc. is a third-generation, family-owned company. “Home building is what we know. Chip and I were raised in the industry, visiting job sites and builders conventions since we were little,” says vice president Brennan Bosley of he and his brother, president Chip Bosley.
Last year, the Bosleys took their passion for homebuilding to the next level with the opening of a residential development in Benton called The Preserve at The Woodlands. With 3.5 miles of walking trails, a private fishing pond, and community pool, the development is more than just a neighborhood. It’s the type of place that encourages people to go outside, engage with their surroundings, and make friends with their neighbors. “In planning this development, we have gone to great lengths to preserve some of the acreage to be used for people to get outside and connect with each other and nature,” Brennan says.
In 2021, the Bosleys are excited to grow what they’ve begun by opening lots for sale in Phase 2 of the development. “Phase 2 is a continuation of what we have now, including some smaller lots to be able to cater to a wide range of budgets,” Brennan says. “The reception to Phase 1 was absolutely phenomenal. We sold lots twice as fast as we expected to, and we’re excited to continue building on what we’ve begun. People in the neighborhood are excited to see it grow.”
As in Phase 1, all homes in The Preserve at The Woodlands can be customized to suit its future owner’s style and needs. “Every home built is customized and drawn to fit its specific lot, so no two homes look alike,” Brennan says. Additionally, the plan design, interior and exterior finishes are overseen by Keri Bosley. “We all pay close attention to every detail in the homes we build,” Keri says. “Knowing a new home is most likely our clients’ biggest investments, we treat every job site like it’s our very own home.”

SPRINGDALE Clearwater Construction
After working as a construction superintendent for a local massproduction company, Jon Dennie founded Clearwater Construction in 2008. Since then, he has welcomed both new construction and remodeling projects that present a challenge and are unique in nature. To keep clients connected, Jon and his team members utilize an app with access to daily logs, change orders, and design selections. “We couple all of that with a family atmosphere that we feel is most beneficial for a successful project,” he says.
The builder encourages clients not to rush the house plan process, but rather to envision how you will live in the home to create the best outcome. “If you want to be happy for years to come, you need to think down the road,” he says. Currently, Jon says he is seeing a number of minimalistic modern plans with less square footage take the place of the larger building footprints of the past. “Building a home is supposed to be a memorable and enjoyable experience, and the contractor/client relationship should be viewed as a partnership,” Jon says. “If you go into the process with the right mindset and expectations, there is no reason you can’t walk away from it with everything you want.”

Build Smarter
12 genius built-in features for every aspect of your dream home
Gone are the days of a crammed coat closet by the front door; homes built today feature mudrooms with customized cubbies to keep the whole family organized. Those who cook, bake, or entertain often sing the praises of the touch-technology faucet for ease of use when it comes time to do the dishes.
Smart technology is available to improve almost every function of your house, from phonecontrolled locks, lighting, and surveillance cameras to programmable thermostats.
HAVE KIDS OR PETS? ASK YOUR BUILDER TO CREATE CUSTOM BABY GATES TO BLOCK ACCESS TO NO-GO ZONES WHILE ADHERING TO THE STYLE OF YOUR HOME.
For ultimate ease at lights out, install motorized window coverings in the bedroom that can be operated with a touch of a button—even after you’re all tucked in.
INSTALL HEATED FLOORING IN THE BATHROOM FOR THE ULTIMATE COMFORT UNDERFOOT, ESPECIALLY ON THOSE COLD WINTER MORNINGS.
Say goodbye to cluttered countertops with custom cabinetry in the kitchen, including an appliance garage and space-maximizing drawers.
Artificial turf in the backyard means lowermaintenance lawn care—as well as year-round color and fewer mosquitos. With so many people spending time outside these days, you and your guests can enjoy an outdoor kitchen complete with a builtin grill, prep sink, and beverage fridge.
Consider hiring a closet consultant to help plan out the configuration of shelving, rods, and drawers that will work best for your storage needs.
An energy-efficient house saves money. Go for foam installation and, if possible, install solar panels for increased savings over the long run.
There are ample opportunities to improve a laundry room’s function at the building stage; consider incorporating ironing boards and drying racks into the design.
SHERWOOD Wiggins/ Childers Custom Homes
Early this year, builders Randy Wiggins and Garrett Childers (pictured) teamed up to work together as Wiggins/Childers Custom Homes. “Randy has been building custom homes in central Arkansas for 35 years, and I have an extensive background in operations and the home furnishings industry,” Garrett says. “Together we approach each project with a combined expertise in construction design and project management.”
Wiggins/Childers has developed a specialized process that makes building as easy and efficient as possible, while also keeping the big picture in mind; namely, how the owners will use the home. “We take the time to think about every detail: how a space will flow, what activities a family will use each room for, and how even the smallest detail will elevate the everyday lives of our clients,” Garrett says. “We ensure each client’s new home is thoughtfully designed, impeccably crafted, and finished on time and within budget.”

LITTLE ROCK Carl Gray Henson Builders
Homeowners have trusted Carl Gray Henson to build their custom homes for more than three decades. In fact, it’s the business of returning clients that Carl’s wife, Kathy, says is a testament to their reputation. Since 1990 the business has developed into a company devoted to helping clients create dream homes while remaining small enough to give each customer the personal attention he or she deserves. Carl and his team work tirelessly with their clients on lot selection, design, construction, and service trendsetters after completion. According to
Kathy, “Homeowners today are very smart. They’re knowledgeable about what they want in their home. One of Carl’s strengths is keeping clients informed about what is going to work or not in their plan,” she says. “He also works hard at keeping them within budget so there are few surprises at the end of the project.” While Carl prides himself on creating homes with timeless appeal, the current customization requests he is seeing are “smart home” technology,” safe rooms, custom office designs, and mother-inlaw suites.

SHERWOOD Noah Treat Construction
Noah Treat got his start building homes as a subcontractor. After buying and operating a stone masonry company for a year, he decided to take the leap into general contracting in 2008. Since then, he’s built homes ranging from 1,800 to 8,000 square feet. “I love the tactile nature of homebuilding,” he says. “I thrive on the process and the gratification of handing a family the keys to their new home.”
Noah says what sets his business apart is his desire to try new things. “In the era of Pinterest and HGTV, I’m constantly challenged with new ideas on design and floor plans. I embrace it because it equips me to think outside the box and be more creative,” he says. “I’m strong on the planning and hands-on skills of the construction process, and my wife, Monica, has the gift of design! She can visualize a beautiful, finished product before we even get started.”

LITTLE ROCK River Rock Builders
Since founding River Rock Builders in 1999, Patty and Keith Wingfield’s custom design-build company has developed a reputation as one of the leading green builders in the state. In fact, they were the recipients of an energy-efficiency award by the US Green Building Council in 2019. “This home is the first single family residence to meet LEED Platinum v4 in the U.S., and it was the first ‘net zero’ home in central Arkansas,” Keith says.
River Rock Builders is also known for taking on rugged terrain
and other challenging pieces of property. “We always advise prospective clients to fit their house plan to the topography, not try and force it the other way around,” Keith says. No matter your building needs, his advice is always to ask prospective builders, Have you done this before? As part of their design-build process, River Rock Builders uses 3D software to help clients visualize the end result. “It’s then very fulfilling to build what we’ve helped create for each client.” trendsetters FROM SELECTING THE PERFECT PROPERTY TO CREATING ENERGY-EFFICIENT HOMES, CALL ON RIVER ROCK BUILDERS FOR WIDE-RANGING EXPERTISE
