We believe in doing what is right, communicating honestly, and treating our clients, trade partners, and team members with respect.

Our founder, Jim Lawler, discovered his passion for construction at 19, learning the trade locally and developing a deep respect for quality work and lasting relationships. By 26, he was managing full-scale home builds; laying the foundation for a company built on Good Service, Good Value, and Good Quality alongside his wife, Cindy.

Today, Lawler Construction continues to deliver custom homes, renovations, and commercial projects with a focus on quality, efficiency, and personalized service. As ENERGY STAR® partners committed to sustainable building practices, Jim and his son Patrick bring modern innovation to every project, creating durable, high-performance homes designed for the Verde Valley lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? You’re not alone. Here are answers to some of the questions we hear most often from homeowners throughout the Verde Valley.

Most custom homes we build in the Verde Valley take between 10 and 18 months from permit approval to certificate of occupancy. The biggest variables are scope of work, finish selection timing, and permit processing times with Yavapai County or the local municipality. Keep in mind this is separate from Phase 1 (design and pre-construction), which typically takes 6 to 12 months on its own depending on your home’s complexity, your lot, HOA requirements, and the permitting jurisdiction.
