What’s Different About Ideal?

Ideal Homes consistently sets the standard for innovative homebuilding and is nationally recognized for the quality of its products and processes. For more than 15 years, the US Department of Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency, the American Lung Association and numerous third-party manufacturers and research groups have turned to Ideal Homes to test the latest and most innovative building technologies.

Now Oklahoma’s largest homebuilder and named as America’s Best Builder in 2007, Ideal has the quality construction and financial stability to earn a place in the top one percent of builders nationwide.

Since 1990, more than 6,000 families have lived the Ideal dream. So when your family selects a home by America’s Best Builder, you can be confident that your family’s investment will be secure for years to come. We became Oklahoma’s leading homebuilder – one family at a time, and we’ll take good care of your family, too.

When you purchase an Ideal home, you buy from a company whose founders oversee every home the company builds. The little company they founded has grown to become Oklahoma’s leading homebuilder and has been awarded with every honor the homebuilding industry has to offer – honors that recognize the quality of the homes and also the corporate culture that produces innovation, quality and leadership.

Our founders are industry leaders at both the local and national level. Ideal Homes is a member of the National Association of Home Builders, Central Oklahoma Home Builders Association and the Norman Home Builders Association.

Ideal is locally owned and operated. As a company, we’re proud to say that our very first Ideal homeowner still lives in the home we built for them.

Helping families realize the American Dream – that’s why we come to work every day.
