Custom home builder in Monticello, Iowa.

Monticello is the western edge of our service area, twenty miles west of Cascade on Highway 38. Custom homes and pole barns for the surrounding agricultural community.

For Monticello customers, NXT Build is a full-service residential and light commercial contractor. Custom homes, barndominiums, post-frame buildings, home additions, and roofing. Same crew on every project. Same point of contact from the first call through the final walk-through.

Collin spent eleven years running post-frame builds for a contractor in eastern Iowa before starting NXT Build LLC in 2024. He knew the work could be done better. Cleaner job sites. Tighter schedules. Honest answers about cost and timeline. One person who answers the phone and stays on the project from beginning to end.

Why Monticello customers choose NXT Build.

The customers we work with in Monticello tell us the same thing again and again. They have called other contractors. They got sold by a salesperson, handed off to a project manager, and then handed off to a crew that did not entirely know what was being built. They paid for the privilege.

At NXT Build, all three of those jobs are Collin. He sells the project because he is going to build it. He runs the schedule because he is on the site every day. He hands you the keys because he framed the roof. One phone number. One email address. One point of accountability.

The way the build runs.

Every Monticello project starts with a free site walk-through. We meet on your land or at your kitchen table. We listen first. Then we draft the plan and the fixed-price quote. You see the math before any contract is signed. Then we pull the permits, set the foundation, build, and walk through with you at the end. The warranty starts the day you move in.
