Tri-Cities' Custom Home Builder That Gets It Right From the Start

Who We Are

A Family-Owned Builder Serving Pasco, Kennewick & Richland

My name is John Worlund, and together with my son Stephen, we run Anasazi Builders. I started in construction at 17. Stephen started at 16. Between us, we have close to 80 years of hands-on experience — not managing from a distance, but actually doing the work.

We’ve built more than 250 homes and projects across Washington, Idaho, North Dakota, and Alaska. We’re fully licensed and insured, members of the HBA of Tri-Cities, and our subcontractor team has been with us for nearly a decade

WHAT WE BUILD

A Dream Home Looks Different for Everyone — and That's Exactly the Point

When we say custom, we mean it. You’re not choosing from four floor plans. We sit down with you and build around what matters most — your kitchen, your layout, your choices.

Custom Home Building

From permits and site prep to move-in day, we manage the full build and keep you informed every step. Residential and commercial.

Design & Planning

We work with experienced architects who turn your ideas — even a sketch — into buildable plans. 3D renderings before we break ground

Land & Site Development

Raw acreage or a lot in a subdivision — we've built on both. Six completed homes in the Benton City to Prosser corridor alone

Project Management

One point of contact throughout the entire build. We're not hard to reach and we don't leave you guessing about your job site

WHAT WE BUILD

Why Families Choose Anasazi as Their Tri-Cities Builder

We’re not the largest company in Tri-Cities, and that’s fine with us. What we are is a custom home builder that takes every project personally — no matter the size.

When we say custom, we mean it.

Bring your own plans, choose from 100+ we have available, or design from scratch with our architects. Every change is yours to make.

One point of contact. Always.

John coordinates the entire team of nearly 20 long-tenured subcontractors. One phone number. One person who knows your home inside and out.

One point of contact. Always.

Materials stacked. Trash hauled. Floors swept. We’ve closed sales because clients drove past one of our sites and noticed.

"We have sold more homes because our construction site is clean. The reason we picked you is because how nice and how clean your sites are. That's the thing I hear the most."

HOW WE WORK

Three Stages, No Runaround

Building a home should not feel like a mystery. Here’s the simple version — the full 9-stage walkthrough is on our process page.

First Conversation

You call or email. We listen, ask questions, and figure out if we're a fit. No fees. No commitment. John calls this the "dating" phase — because trust starts here.

Design, Plans & The Sacred

We evaluate your land, refine or build plans, and sit down to find what's sacred to your family. Then 3D renderings so you can see it before we break ground.

Build & Move In

Average build: 8–10 months. One point of contact. Move-in-ready delivery, all inspections coordinated, warranty that follows you for years.

Our Work

There's No Honest Square-Foot Price on a True Custom Home

A custom home can have a simple kitchen or a fully outfitted gourmet one.Composite shingles or standing seam metal roofing. Those choices — your choices — determine the final cost.

Before we give you real numbers, we need to know where you are financially. Once we do, we give you a realistic preliminary estimate and work toward firm numbers.

Marcelina Torres

Anasazi builders is a builder you definitely want to give your business to. John is on site and aware of what is going on through the whole building process. He is proactive and caring. He protects his clients investments as if it was his own. Tri cities could definitely use more builders of his caliber and I am absolutely happy to promote people who stand on quality

Pat Jones

Anasazi Builders worked on both my kitchen and bathroom remodels. They did excellent work in a timely manner. I have toured houses they were building during construction and was impressed with their attention to detail and innovative ideas. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them for new construction and remodels.

Dennis

Being a GC in the Tri-Cities area, I work with a lot of different contractors/builders. I noticed that the quality they provide is simply unmatched. If Anasazi does it, it will definitely be quality!

-FAQ

Everything You Want to Know Before Your First Call

These are the real questions families ask us. Every answer traces back to John’s actual words — nothing invented.

Is Anasazi Builders licensed and insured?

Yes. Anasazi Builders is fully licensed and insured to operate in Washington State. We’re also a member of the Home Builders Association of Tri-Cities, affiliated with the National Association of Home Builders. Our WA contractor license number is displayed in the site footer.

What makes you a custom builder vs. a production builder?

Most builders that advertise “custom” actually offer 3–5 fixed floor plans — that’s semi-custom. With us, the plan can come from you, from 100+ plans we have available, or designed from scratch with our architects. Every finish is decided with you. No preset packages.

Do you only build large or high-end homes?

No. We build a wide range — from well-built, modest homes that fit a tighter budget to fully appointed custom homes. The difference isn’t size or budget; it’s the care we put into both. something real and buildable.

How much does a custom home cost in the Tri-Cities?

Our entry point starts around $450,000 (basic home with land). There’s no honest square-foot price on a truly custom home — every choice changes the number. We work within what you’ve been pre-approved for and find the best version of your home inside that number.

How long does it take to build?

From the day construction starts, the average build is around 5 months — our most recent home was completed in 4. The full process, from first conversation to move-in, is typically 8 to 10 months. Larger national builders quote 12 to 18 months; we don’t, because that’s not our reality.

Do I need plans before reaching out?

No. Come with finished plans, sketches, or no plans at all. We have 100+ plans you can pick from and modify, or we can design from scratch with our architects. After blueprints are approved, we provide 3D renderings.

Do I need lender pre-approval to contact you?

Not for the first conversation — that’s free with no commitment. But before we give you real numbers and start designing, you’ll need lender pre-approval. The scope of your build is ultimately defined by what your lender has approved.

Can you build on my land?

Yes. We’ve built on lots inside subdivisions and raw acreage where we brought in power, drilled wells, and installed septic systems. Six completed homes in the Benton City to Prosser corridor alone.

Who is my point of contact throughout the build?

John — from the first call through move-in day. You won’t be passed between project managers or asked to coordinate with subcontractors yourself. One person, one phone number, one relationship.

What warranty do you offer?

Washington State requires a 1-year base warranty — we honor that fully. We also operate on a 6-month follow-up schedule for non-emergency items. For real emergencies (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, water), we provide direct subcontractor numbers at delivery. Extended 2–5 year warranties also available.

What areas do you build in?

Pasco, Kennewick, Richland, West Richland, Benton City, Prosser, Burbank, and surrounding rural areas of Franklin, Benton, and Walla Walla counties. We also build in nearby parts of Idaho when projects align.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes. We manage all permit paperwork — building permits, septic permits, and any required documentation with the city or county. We coordinate all final inspections so the home is delivered move-in ready.
