Design Build Contractor Kansas City Professionals Trust at the Lake

You're two hours away. We're on-site every day.

Kansas City professionals have been claiming Lake of the Ozarks as their own for generations. Whether you're building a lakefront retreat, a family compound, or a showpiece investment property, TXR Architects + Constructors delivers the architect-led design-build experience you need from a team you can trust on the ground. Tom Roof, AIA designs your home. Rocky Corpe manages the build. You get one team, one contract, and complete accountability from first sketch to final walkthrough.

Kansas City Has Always Called the Lake Home

The Lake of the Ozarks sits just two hours from the Kansas City metro, close enough for a weekend escape and far enough to feel like a world apart. For decades, KC executives, business owners, and professionals have built vacation homes, retirement retreats, and multigenerational lake homes on the lake's 1,100 miles of shoreline.

But building a custom home from Kansas City comes with a real challenge: who do you trust to manage the project when you're not there? Who ensures your design is built exactly as planned? Who holds subcontractors accountable when you're back in Kansas City on Monday morning?

That's the problem TXR was built to solve.
