Customizing Your New Utah Home: The Gordon Milar Construction Design-Build Advantage
A transitional modern home design — Gordon Milar Construction
Building a home is one of the most significant investments you’ll ever make. Whether you’re envisioning a sprawling estate or a functional family space, the process should be as distinct as the final product. Regardless of the square footage or the features you desire, Gordon Milar Construction (GMC) stands as Utah’s premier custom design-build homebuilder.
What makes GMC unique is our specialized approach to new construction. We bring over three decades of experience building homes specifically for the Utah landscape. Our philosophy is rooted in partnership and collaboration—we don't just build for you; we build with you.
Your Vision, Our Expertise: The Design and Drafting Process
Many home buyers don't realize that, regardless of their chosen floor plan, a home’s appearance can match any architectural style. Whether you want your home to stand out as a unique masterpiece or blend seamlessly into an established neighborhood, our team makes it possible.
The GMC journey begins with a meeting to understand your specific needs. One of our experienced builders will review floor plans with you to find exactly what you like. Then, our in-house drafters work with you until the floor plan, features, and exterior elevations are exactly what you want. We provide detailed renderings so you can see your dream home before we start moving dirt.

Finishing Touches: Working With Our In-House Designer
Once the structural design is set, GMC’s in-house designer guides you through the selection of finishes and colors. This collaborative review covers every detail of your home’s interior, including:
Flooring and tile work
Fixture selections
Custom cabinetry and hardware
Countertops and backsplashes
With a customized floor plan, a beautiful home design, and all your personal selections in place, the construction phase begins with total clarity.
Expert Site Planning and Excavation
GMC excels at navigating the technical side of Utah’s geography. We help you review all excavation considerations to ensure your home functions perfectly on its specific lot. This includes:
Entryway Accessibility: Planning the number of steps into the home from the outside and the garage.
Basement Functionality: Determining the feasibility of a walk-out basement in your backyard.
Landscaping Integration: Designing features that complement the natural grade and size of your selected lot.

Find the Perfect Land for Your New Home
In addition to customizing the home itself, GMC offers flexible options for where you build. We can help you:
Build on land you already own.
Purchase a GMC-owned lot, often located in popular subdivisions from Salt Lake to Utah County.
Identify and purchase new land specifically for your custom construction project.
