Home building, contracting and remodeling across Southwest Iowa

We're a home builder for custom homes, and a general contractor for residential and light commercial projects. As a remodeler, we take on kitchens, bathrooms, additions and whole-home remodels. Barndominiums and steel buildings are part of what we build too.

How our home building process starts

Every project starts the same way, so you know what to expect before we break ground.

  1. Discovery call

    We'll talk about what you want to build, your budget and your timeline, and whether we're a good fit.

  2. Site visit

    We come out and look at the site: access, utilities and anything else that needs to happen before we build. For remodels and additions, we LiDAR-scan the space so our measurements are exact.

  3. Design

    If you don't already have plans, we'll work them out with the architects and designers we work with. We need a finished design before we can give you a real estimate.

  4. Pre-construction agreement

    Once the plans and numbers are settled, we sign a pre-construction agreement and get your project on the schedule.

“A home is more than a structure. It’s where families grow, memories are made, and life happens.”

Matt and Emily both grew up on farms in Southwest Iowa. They started O'Rourke Enterprises in 2021 and run it the way they were raised: show up, work hard, keep your word and treat people right.
