Years as Anasazi Builders
Years as Anasazi Builders
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
“Our goal is that you’ve earned our trust and we’ve earned yours — and that you’ll tell others how happy you are with your home and with us as a builder.”
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.
From permits and site prep to move-in day, we manage the full build and keep you informed every step. Residential and commercial.
We work with experienced architects who turn your ideas — even a sketch — into buildable plans. 3D renderings before we break ground
Raw acreage or a lot in a subdivision — we've built on both. Six completed homes in the Benton City to Prosser corridor alone
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
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.
Bring your own plans, choose from 100+ we have available, or design from scratch with our architects. Every change is yours to make.
John coordinates the entire team of nearly 20 long-tenured subcontractors. One phone number. One person who knows your home inside and out.
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."
Building a home should not feel like a mystery. Here’s the simple version — the full 9-stage walkthrough is on our process page.
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.
Entry point in the Tri-Cities
Basic home with land — the budget conversation always starts with what works for you
We’re headquartered in Pasco and build across the Tri-Cities region — from established subdivisions to raw acreage in the Benton City to Prosser corridor, where we’ve completed six homes alone.
Targeted: 25 Google reviews in the first 90 days post-launch. Embed via Google Business Profile with Review schema for SERP star ratings.
These are the real questions families ask us. Every answer traces back to John’s actual words — nothing invented.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Free first conversation. No pressure. Just a chance to see if we’re the right fit for what you have in mind.
