Custom Homes · Renovations · Additions — Northwest Arkansas
Anabasis Construction helps Northwest Arkansas homeowners plan and build custom homes, renovations, and residential projects with clear communication, honest guidance, and craftsmanship that respects your home, your budget, and your vision.
Every service starts the same way: a real conversation about what you want, what it should cost, and whether it's worth doing. Here's how we can help.
For homeowners building on their own lot or one we help you find. We plan around how you actually live — sightlines, light, storage, comfort — before the first shovel of dirt moves. The first step is a consultation and a feasibility conversation about your lot and budget.
Start planning your home →Kitchens, baths, and whole-home renovations — with honest guidance about which changes genuinely improve daily life and resale, and which just cost money. We start with a walkthrough of your home and a scope conversation.
Discuss your renovation →More room without moving — additions planned to match your home's structure, proportions, and neighborhood, not bolt-ons that look like afterthoughts. The first step is a site review and preliminary budget range.
Request a project review →Not sure yet? This is where smart projects start. Lot evaluation, market and budget analysis, scope planning, and design coordination — so you know what's realistic before committing to construction.
Request a feasibility review →No account managers, no telephone chains. The person planning your budget and walking your framing is the person who answers your call.
Most construction problems are planning problems in disguise. We resolve scope, budget, and decisions on paper — where changes are cheap — before they reach the jobsite.
We'll tell you when the premium option is worth it — and when it isn't. Craftsmanship where you'll feel it daily, practicality where you won't.
Clean job sites, protected floors, considerate scheduling, and crews your neighbors won't mind seeing. How we work says everything about how we build.
"I founded Anabasis Construction because homeowners deserve a construction experience built around clear communication, honest guidance, and craftsmanship that lasts."
Anabasis is a family-run company based in Prairie Grove. Before any project begins, we do the homework — studying lots, budgets, and neighborhoods block by block — because a well-planned project is the only kind that finishes well. That planning-first discipline is the foundation of how we build.
When you work with Anabasis, you communicate directly with me at every stage: planning, budget, construction, and closeout. My name is on this work, and I treat every home like it's in my own neighborhood — because around here, it usually is.
— Josiah Scates, Owner
See what we're building right now, and completed work as it's finished — photographed honestly, labeled clearly, never staged.
Most people have never hired a builder before — and the industry doesn't make it easy. Here's exactly what working with us looks like, start to finish.
A no-pressure conversation — by phone or in person — about what you're imagining, your rough budget, and your timeline. You'll leave knowing whether the project is realistic.
We walk your lot or home, looking at the things that quietly drive cost: slope, drainage, access, structure, and utilities. No surprises later that were visible now.
A written scope and realistic budget range — before design money is spent. We'll flag where costs are most likely to move and what decisions drive them.
Plans, selections, and engineering coordinated with decision deadlines that protect your schedule. The goal: every expensive decision made on paper, not in the field.
A clear written proposal: scope, price, allowances, schedule, and how changes are handled. You'll understand what you're signing — we'll walk every line with you.
Regular updates on schedule and budget, quality checkpoints at every stage before work gets covered, and a clean, organized jobsite your neighbors won't resent.
A detailed walkthrough together, a punch list completed promptly, and your documentation package. Then a phone that still gets answered after we're paid.

Custom homes, renovations, remodels, additions, and preconstruction planning. If you're unsure whether your project fits, a quick phone call will sort it out.
Earlier than you think — ideally before you buy a lot or finalize plans. The cheapest problems to fix are the ones caught during planning, and early feasibility review is one of the most valuable things we do.
Yes — we coordinate design, engineering, and permitting as part of preconstruction, and we're glad to work alongside an architect or designer you've already chosen.
Absolutely. We'll review your existing plans, flag anything that affects cost or constructability, and build from them.
From a written scope, current local costs, and your site's specifics — not a generic square-foot number. We'll also tell you which parts of the budget are firm and which could move, and what decisions control them.
In writing, before the work happens. You'll see the cost and schedule impact of any change and approve it first — no surprise invoices at the end.
On a regular schedule you can count on, plus immediately whenever something needs your decision. You'll always know where the project stands, and you talk directly with the owner.
It depends on scope — a renovation and a full custom home are very different animals. What we commit to: a realistic schedule up front, honest updates when anything shifts, and no schedule promises we can't keep.
We listen. You tell us what you're imagining, we ask questions about how you live, your budget comfort zone, and your timeline — and we give you an honest read on feasibility. No pressure, no obligation, no fee.
Tell us a little about your project below. We'll review it and follow up to discuss scope, timing, budget expectations, and next steps — a real conversation, not a sales pitch.
