Owner-operated since 2017. Serving North Liberty, Coralville, Iowa City, and the surrounding corridor.
How we build
We're a custom home builder, not a production builder — which means every home we build is shaped to fit the family who'll live in it. We design and build at four different starting points, and any of them lead to the same kind of home.
The Yorkshire and the Peyton have been built across the corridor — modified, refined, and built again. Start here, modify what you want, and we'll build it for you.
Plans we've drawn and refined, ready to take into permitting. Designed for specific lots and programs, ready to build with modifications for yours.
Bring us a plan you've fallen in love with from a catalog, a magazine, Pinterest, or a friend's house. We work with multiple local designers and can build from almost any plan.
Bring us a vision and we'll work with our design partners to draw your home from zero. Custom-designed for narrow infill, sloped lakefront, rural acreage — whatever your lot requires.
The point isn't where you start. The point is that we build to suit you, not the other way around.
Selected work
A few of the homes we've built across the corridor. Every one of them started as a conversation.
Why work with us
When you hire RK Development, you hire Craig. He's the person on your jobsite, in your selections meetings, and on your phone when something needs an answer.
Craig came up through civil engineering — surveying, construction staking, concrete inspection on commercial DOT projects. He understands what's under the ground before what's above it.
We talk real numbers before we draw plans. No falling in love with a design that's 30% above what you can afford.
A custom build takes 9–14 months from first call to keys. We tell you up front whether your timeline is realistic.
The build doesn't end at closing. We do a full warranty walk one year after move-in — after the house has been through every season. Things that weren't apparent at closing get fixed.
Not a project manager. Not a customer service portal. Not a 48-hour email response. You text Craig.
Where we build
Two completed builds. Peyton at Aspen Ridge — Parade of Homes runner-up. Yorkshire at Green Belt Trail near Liberty High.
Three completed builds in Pine Hill. ICCSD schools, central corridor location, and our most-built town to date.
The fastest-growing town in Iowa. Yorkshire spec at Park Place. Deep site-design experience from prior engineering work here.
New construction and renovations. Limited new-build lots, but real opportunities for those who know where to look.
Lake homes at Cottage Reserve, rural acreage builds, and the small towns and county subdivisions across Johnson County.
