Why us? As Missouri’s first Graduate Master Builder and two time Builder of the Year, Sam Bradley has developed a distinguished reputation as one of the most trusted builders in the Springfield area.
When it comes time to choose the builder for your new home, we want you to make an educated decision. Our Homeowner Manual will both educate and guide you through the custom building process for an enjoyable building experience. At Sam Bradley Homes we look at the homes’ underlying design through our exclusive Woman-Centric view of ‘How does this home live?’ because livability is where true value begins. Our goal is not to be the biggest builder in town, but the best by honoring our 7 Rules and LIFE Principles.

Build on Your Lot
Whether you are ready to build on a lot you own, or searching for land to purchase Sam Bradley Homes can help you make better decisions. Building on your own lot has its advantages. You have the freedom to build the home you want, where you want, and when you want. By carefully coordinating plans, options, home site and orientation, you can design a one-of-a-kind home that you will enjoy living in for many years. As one of Springfield’s most trusted and award winning builders, Sam Bradley Homes is dedicated to helping you build the home that you’ve always wanted.
At our initial meeting we will walk you through our pre-building process outlined below.
1
Determine your budget. Your first step may be getting pre-approved for a loan through one of our local banks or lending companies. Knowing your budget will help determine the right combination of land, home size, product selections, interior and exterior finishes.
2
Decide where to build. If you already own your lot, great, you’re half-way there to becoming a new home owner. If you are still looking for the perfect location, we can help you through our network of real estate professionals.
Some important questions about your lot:
- Is your lot located within a city limit or in a county?
- Are utilities readily available and are they public or privately owned?
- What restrictions (easements, architectural guidelines, zoning concerns) are there?
- Is the lot ‘suitable’ for the type of home you want to build?
- Has the property recently been surveyed?
- Will the lot require clearing of old structures or trees prior to beginning construction?
- Is there adequate access to the lot for construction equipment?
3
Design your floor plan. It is important to understand that a home’s real value comes from its underlying design and how that design enhances your lifestyle. Whether it’s a place for your grandmother’s dining table or space for a pet center, your home should be all about what matters to you. As the area’s exclusive Woman-Centric builder, we understand home design from a totally different perspective than other builders.
4
Product Specifications. A critical part of designing the home is specifying the products you want used in the home. Sam Bradley Homes is continually searching for easy to clean, low maintenance products which will require less of the homeowner’s time. WARNING: Product selections can account for large variations in the final cost of building. People often want builders to give them an estimate based only on a floor plan with few if any specifications. This leads to unmet expectations from inaccurate cost estimates with unrealistic allowances.
When you’ve found the place you want to live, and it’s time to build the home you’ve always dreamed of, we are the builder you will want to meet. At our initial meeting our goal is to learn about you and the type of home you envision. What your current needs are and how these will change in the future. Sam Bradley Homes will provide the kind of personal attention your dream home deserves. Our commitment to excellence in both design and construction shows in our satisfied clients and award winning homes.

LIFE Principles
Sam Bradley Homes believes in these simple and timeless principles that guide both the building process and our personal lives.
LONG-TERM Decisions should be evaluated for the long-term. The best value comes from lasting solutions, not temporary quick fixes.
INTEGRITY Simply stated, integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is watching. We understand the trust and confidence that you place in us to build not just a house, but your home. We take that trust and your security very seriously.
FOCUS Author Stephen Covey calls this ‘Keeping the main thing, the main thing.’ Our commitment to you is reflected through our focus on your project. Because we limit the number of jobs we do concurrently, each project receives greater attention to detail which results in a more enjoyable building experience for you and us.
ENCOURAGE The backbone of our principles is a firm belief that the process should be an enjoyable and fulfilling one for homeowners and crew alike. Encouragement and a strong sense of community produce higher standards of craftsmanship, a better project and a better life.
We’re a Woman Centric Builder.
