The journey to a custom home in the Portneuf Valley begins long before the first shovel breaks ground. At MDS Homes, we believe the pre-construction phase is the most critical step, where vision aligns with reality and a true partnership is forged. Our design-build synergy ensures that from the initial consultation, often started through the Manticore Chat Assistant on our site, every detail is considered. This foundational stage involves deep collaboration, schematic design reviews, and ensuring the budget reflects the ultimate vision for your Shelley or Idaho Falls property.


Accuracy Before Action
An accurate proposal is paramount. We leverage our experience with local material costs and labor to prevent surprises down the road. While clients explore designs using the Manticore Floorplan System, our pre-construction team runs preliminary pricing tests. This isn’t just an estimate; it’s a foundational check to confirm alignment. We analyze everything from the framing and truss package to the specific Pella windows selected for four-season Idaho living. This commitment to detail ensures the number on the contract is one you can trust, a core tenet of the MDS Homes philosophy. Communication during this phase is managed seamlessly through the client’s BuilderTrend portal, a single source of truth for all selections and plans.
“Working with MDS Homes is a breeze! They are one of the best home builders in Idaho. They’re attention to detail, craftsmanship, and creativity is unmatched in Southeast Idaho.

We have seen many of their homes builds and one thing that is common between all of them no matter the budget, is the high quality craftsmanship and materials. We recommend MDS home contractors to anyone looking for a home builder in Idaho.“
