A Home Built Around You

Every Malace home begins with a conversation. We take the time to understand how you live, what matters to you, and what you envision for your future. From there, we guide you through each phase of the build — with transparency, craftsmanship, and personal attention at every step.

How It Works

1. Initial Consultation

We start with a no-pressure conversation — in person or by phone — to learn about your vision, your timeline, and your priorities. This is your opportunity to ask questions, see examples of our work, and get a feel for how we build and who we are.

2. Site and Community Selection

If you have not yet selected a lot, we can help. We work within premier Central Oregon communities, including Brasada Ranch, and can connect you with available homesites that match your lifestyle and budget. Already have a lot in mind? We will assess it together.

3. Design and Planning

Working closely with you and your architect or designer, we develop the plans, finishes, and specifications that define your home. We help you make decisions with confidence — guiding you through selections for everything from structural elements to kitchen hardware — and provide clear cost guidance throughout.

4. Permitting and Pre-Construction

We handle the permitting process, subcontractor coordination, and site preparation so the build begins on the right foundation — literally and logistically. You will know your schedule before a single shovel breaks ground.

5. Construction

Tom Malace and the Malace team are hands-on throughout the build. You will have regular site access, progress updates, and a single point of contact at all times. We build to the standards we would demand for our own homes — because our reputation is on every nail.

6. Final Walkthrough and Delivery

Before you take the keys, we walk the home together — every room, every finish, every detail. We address any final items before closing and stand behind our work with a comprehensive warranty. Your relationship with Malace does not end at delivery.

Why Malace Homes

Founded in Central Oregon

We are not a national builder operating from a distance. Malace Homes was founded in Bend in 2015 by Tom Malace, and every home we build is rooted in a genuine understanding of this place.

Luxury Without Compromise

From Viking kitchens to RV garages to resort-view decks, we execute the details that set a Malace home apart. Our clients build once and build right.

Personal Attention Throughout

You will work directly with Tom and the Malace team — not a rotating cast of project managers. We believe the builder-client relationship matters as much as the blueprint.
