Custom Home Construction
Custom homes for the North, built to last.
Owner-led custom home construction in Duluth and across Northern Minnesota — built from the footings up, insulated past code, and run start to finish by the man holding the hammer.
The build
The biggest project
you'll ever sign for.
A custom home is the largest thing most people ever build, and the worries are always the same: the builder who goes quiet once the contract's signed, the budget that drifts, the crew that's different every week. ProCon is built to remove exactly those worries.
Dan Bruckelmyer quotes your home, plans it, and is on the site while it goes up — footings, framing, systems, and finish. You deal with the person making the decisions, not a manager relaying them. Here's what a ProCon home includes:
- Site prep, footings & foundation. Everything that has to be right before the house exists — done first, done level.
- Framing & a weather-tight shell. The structure and envelope that carry the home through Northern Minnesota seasons.
- Insulation past code minimums. Wall and attic assemblies built beyond the Minnesota minimum — warmth you feel every January.
- Mechanical systems, coordinated. Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC scheduled and overseen as one job, not three.
- Interior finish — the part you live in. Trim, cabinetry, tile, and the details that make it yours.
- Owner on site & a workmanship guarantee. Dan on the job daily, and a guarantee that outlasts the final walkthrough.

Custom home questions
Answered.
How long does it take to build a custom home in Duluth?
Most single-family custom homes take eight to twelve months from footings to final walkthrough. Timing depends on size, site, and how quickly selections are made — but you get a real schedule before the first shovel.
Do you handle permits and plans, or do I need an architect first?
We build from your plans if you have them, or help you get them drawn if you don't, and we handle the permitting. One point of contact for the whole process — Dan.
How is a ProCon home different from a production builder's?
The owner is on site every day, not a rotating crew of subs you never met. And the house is insulated past Minnesota code minimums — which shows up on your heating bill every Duluth winter.
What does a custom home cost?
Every custom home is priced to its own plans — size, site, and finishes drive the number, so there's no honest flat rate. We give you a free written estimate within 24 hours of seeing the project.
Can you build on my lot anywhere in Northern Minnesota?
Yes. We build across Northern Minnesota — Duluth, Hermantown, Two Harbors, Cloquet, and surrounding communities. If you're not sure you're in our area, just ask.
