Buy a Lexar Homes Franchise

Lexar Homes is a custom, on-your-lot home building franchise founded in 1993 by Bob Hollis and James Moen, built around making homeownership attainable for people who own land. By 2010 the company had positioned itself as one of America’s largest green home builders, integrating energy-efficient materials and construction methods aimed at lowering long-term ownership costs as well as upfront price.

The franchise builds homes on customers’ own lots across Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Arizona, with newer markets including Tennessee, operating through local offices that tailor designs to regional climates and building codes. Lexar offers more than 75 floor plans spanning functional entry-level homes through fully custom builds, and has completed over 5,000 homes since its founding, supported by in-house drafting and engineering.

The model gives independent builders a recognized brand, established designs and centralized purchasing rather than starting from scratch. Franchisees run local construction businesses serving homeowners directly, backed by a corporate team covering marketing, operations and green-building practices.

Why buy a Lexar Homes Franchise?

Buying a Lexar Homes franchise offers entry into the on-your-lot custom building category through a brand with more than 30 years of history and a defined niche in energy-efficient, affordability-focused homes. The library of 75-plus proven floor plans, in-house drafting and engineering, and standardized operating procedures give an owner a developed building system rather than a blank slate, which can shorten the path to running projects consistently.

Collective purchasing across the network is designed to lower material costs, while Buildertrend project-management software, pricing tools and ongoing corporate guidance in marketing and operations support day-to-day delivery. Lexar’s green-building positioning and lifetime structural warranty give franchisees a clear story to tell where buyers increasingly weigh long-term energy costs.

Lexar Homes – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Lexar runs multiple training sessions each year led by internal experts in project management and green-building techniques, and sends franchisees to industry events including Construction Instruction, the International Builders' Show, the BuildRight Conference and the Professional Women in Building Retreat. Ongoing support covers marketing, web and online-sales coordination, in-house drafting and engineering, Buildertrend integration, pricing tools, standardized procedures and collective purchasing. Resale buyers should confirm with Lexar what onboarding and Buildertrend access transfer to a new owner when an existing office changes hands.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Lexar Homes suits operators with a construction or home-building background, such as framers, project managers or those from trade families, who can run a local building business day to day. The role is project-management and operations-led: coordinating subcontractors, keeping builds on schedule and budget, and guiding customers through a months-long, high-value process on their own land. Owners should be comfortable with local sales and marketing, capable of meeting regional codes across markets like the Pacific Northwest, and committed to the brand's proprietary plans, SOPs and energy-efficient building standards.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Lexar Homes has earned recognition in regional Parade of Homes competitions. At the 2025 Tri-Cities Parade of Homes, Lexar Homes of Tri-Cities won Best Kitchen and Best Interior Decorating. In the 2024 Parade of Homes the brand received the Members Doing Business with Members Award, the People's Choice Award (Category 3) and Best Exterior Appeal (Category 3, over 3,500 sq ft). It is also recognized as one of America's largest green home builders. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific office's local reviews, referral sources and community standing.

  4. Industry / Market

    Lexar operates in the US custom home building segment, where buyers contract a builder to construct on land they already own. NAHB data shows custom single-family starts totaled about 186,000 homes in 2025, up 3% from 2024 and close to a fifth of all single-family starts, a share that has held up better than the broader new-home market. Demand is supported by buyers seeking personalization, energy efficiency and value on existing land, especially in growth regions like the Pacific Northwest and Southwest. For resale buyers, local land availability, regional building costs and permitting pace shape a territory's prospects.
