Custom luxury home builders in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Arcadia, Biltmore, Phoenix Valley and surrounding areas
Emery Lane Homes was founded in 2019 by Chad Klock and Richard Cardenas, two family men with a shared belief that the homebuilding industry was overcomplicating something that should feel personal and straightforward.
Chad brings over a decade of deep roots in the Phoenix real estate market, with a background in finance and home builder representation and more than $100 million in residential, multifamily, and commercial transactions. Richard brings 20+ years as a general contractor and developer, with nearly 800 homes built or remodeled across the country. Together, they built Emery Lane around a simple idea: homes should be designed around how families actually live — not around trends, wasted space, or unnecessary complexity.
The name Emery Lane Homes is meant to tell a story. Emery is the small South Dakota town where Chad grew up, which hosted a tight-knit community where relationships were built to last. He wanted the brand to carry that same honest, small-town feeling into every project. We want every client to live life on the lane.
Emery Lane Homes builds throughout the Phoenix metro’s most desirable luxury markets, including Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, Arcadia, and the Biltmore corridor. Our team has deep roots in these neighborhoods and an in-depth understanding of local design standards, HOA requirements, and resale dynamics, so every home we build is positioned to perform in its market.
Both. We build luxury custom homes designed entirely around your vision, and we also develop premium spec homes in sought-after Phoenix neighborhoods. Whether you have a lot and a set of ideas, or you’re looking to purchase a nearly-complete or move in-ready luxury home, Emery Lane has an option for you.
Three things set us apart:
Yes. Emery Lane Homes is fully licensed, bonded, and insured in the state of Arizona. We’re happy to provide documentation upon request.
Absolutely. We regularly partner with investors on lot acquisition, new construction development, and luxury residential projects throughout the Valley. Whether you’re building to sell or building to hold, our team understands the numbers and can structure a project around your investment goals.
We’ve built our process to be clear, collaborative, and efficient.
Most luxury homes range from 12 to 24 months from planning to completion, depending on the size of the home, level of customization, and permitting timelines. The design and architectural phase alone typically takes a minimum of 6 months before construction begins. We’ll give you a realistic timeline at the start of your project and keep you updated at every stage.
Every Emery Lane project is assigned an experienced construction manager, a dedicated superintendent, and a project coordinator. You’re not passed around, you have a consistent team who knows your project inside and out from day one.
As involved as you’d like to be. At minimum, you’ll receive regular weekly updates and have access to real-time project progress through our project management platform. Our team sends outs weekly updates and always encourages formal walkthroughs at key milestones throughout construction so you can see your home taking shape firsthand.
Through a combination of scheduled meetings, phone, email, and live updates through our project management software. You’ll always know what’s happening on your project, and our team is responsive when you have questions between updates.
Yes. Our team manages all permitting, city and HOA approvals, and construction oversight from start to finish. You won’t need to navigate that process on your own.
Yes. This is one of the most important things that sets us apart from production builders or spec-only developers. With a custom build, you work directly with our team and architectural partners to design the floor plan, room configuration, and layout that fits your lifestyle. We’re not asking you to choose from a set of pre-drawn plans.
Yes. Depending on the phase of construction, buyers have the opportunity to select or approve finishes, fixtures, flooring, cabinetry, countertops, and other design elements. Our team will walk you through the selection process with guidance from our talented design partners to help you make decisions that are both beautiful and cohesive.
We don’t employ architects or interior designers on staff, but we work closely with a curated group of experienced architects, interior designers, landscape designers, and engineers who have a proven track record on luxury projects. Think of us as your single point of coordination – we manage those relationships, so you don’t have to.
Yes. Over the years we’ve built a trusted network of architects, interior designers, landscape designers, engineers, and specialty trade partners who understand our standards and have a proven track record on luxury projects. Our preferred partners are vetted for quality, communication, and reliability — the same things we hold ourselves to.
That said, if you already have an architect, designer, or vendor you love, we’re happy to work with them. We collaborate well with outside partners and will coordinate directly with your team to keep the project moving smoothly.
While full furnishing isn’t a core service, we can connect you with trusted staging and interior furnishing partners we’ve worked with on past projects. It’s one more way we help you get from construction to move-in without having to start from scratch finding vendors.
Yes. We specialize in large-scale luxury remodels and transformative renovations. Our remodel projects typically require planning, permitting, and professional construction management. If you’re thinking about a significant change to your home, we’re worth a conversation. Visit our remodeling page to learn more, or contact us today.
Whole-home remodels, major additions, indoor/outdoor living transformations, and luxury modernization projects. Our team is built for complex, high-end renovations that require the same level of management and oversight as a new build.
Yes, and this is often one of the most valuable conversations we have with clients early on. We can evaluate your existing property, factor in your goals and budget, and give you an honest assessment of whether remodeling or scraping and rebuilding delivers better value for your investment.
For the size and scope of projects we typically take on, living in the home during construction isn’t recommended. However, if you’re adding a guest house, casita, or ADU and the main home isn’t being altered, you can stay in your home. Since all of our projects are unique, we’re happy to discuss options that apply to your specific home.
Yes. Our team actively sources lots, teardown opportunities, and off-market properties throughout the Valley. If you have a target neighborhood in mind, we can often surface options before they hit the open market.
Yes. Accessory Dwelling Units are a growing area of our business, whether as additions to an existing estate, investment units, or multi-generational living solutions. Visit our ADU page to learn more.
This is one of our biggest advantages. Our sister company, Above & Beyond Pools, Remodeling & Landscapes, specializes in luxury outdoor living — pools, spas, outdoor kitchens, and landscape design. Having both under one roof means seamless coordination and a truly integrated design from the inside out. Above & Beyond has showrooms in Gilbert and Phoenix.
Yes, and we do it regularly. Our team can manage the entire process, keeping you informed and involved without requiring you to be on the ground in Phoenix. Our local expertise means you don’t have to be an expert.
Custom home pricing depends on a wide range of factors — lot cost, square footage, design complexity, materials, and site conditions. Price per square foot could be as low as $500, or above $1,000, based on the specific project.
We work within clearly defined budgets established after your design and plans are complete, so there are no surprises. We’ll give you a realistic picture early in the process.
ADUs typically average a starting price of $400 to $600 per square foot depending on finishes and complexity.
Your detailed budget is developed after the design and architectural phase, once we have plans and specifications to price from. This typically happens before permitting begins, so you have a complete financial picture before any ground is broken.
Construction is funded through a draw schedule, meaning funds are released in stages as materials are purchased and construction milestones are completed. If you have financing, your lender is typically be involved in this process, and our team is experienced coordinating draws so that construction stays on schedule.
We can connect you with trusted lenders who specialize in luxury construction loans and jumbo financing. These are relationships we’ve built over time with professionals who understand our build process and can work with your timeline.
Emery Lane Homes provides a warranty on all of our builds. All clients receive a full warranty package and project binder outlining coverage. What makes our warranty process stand out is that we have a dedicated Warranty Manager who is involved from the final walkthrough, handles warranty requests and follows through until issues are resolved. We stand behind our work after you move in.
