What we build

Every kind of investment
build in DFW.

Build-to-Rent Single-Family

Ground-up single-family homes built and finished specifically to hold as rentals — durable materials, low-maintenance systems, and layouts tenants stay in.

Small Multi-Family

Duplex through fourplex construction, from foundation to certificate of occupancy, with fire separation and unit metering handled correctly the first time.

Portfolio & Repeat Builds

Repeating a plan across multiple lots — we lock subcontractor and materials pricing across the portfolio to bring your per-unit cost down.

Spec & Pre-Sale Builds

Ground-up spec homes built for resale or sold pre-completion. We work from your target buyer profile to spec finishes that hit the market at the right price point.

Lender & Draw Coordination

We build to the draw schedules construction and DSCR lenders require, and handle the inspections and documentation your lender needs at each milestone.

General Contracting

One licensed GC managing every trade — framing, mechanicals, finish-out, and permitting — under a single contract and schedule.

Why Zencore for investment builds

We build to your underwriting, not just a floor plan.

Numbers-first specs

We spec materials and finishes against your target rent or sale price, not a generic finish package — every dollar in the build has to earn its way back.

Repeat-build efficiency

Building the same plan across multiple lots lets us lock pricing and speed up cycle time, which compounds across a portfolio.

Lender-ready documentation

Draw requests, inspection reports, and progress photos formatted the way construction and DSCR lenders expect, so funding does not stall your schedule.

How it works

Underwriting to handoff.

01
Underwriting Fit

We review your target rent, sale price, or hold strategy and spec the build to hit your numbers, not just a design brief.

02
Permitting

Permit submissions and plan review handled per lot, with unit counts and fire separation confirmed with the city upfront.

03
Construction

Progress logs and draw documentation delivered on the schedule your lender expects, unit by unit or across the portfolio.

04
CO & Handoff

Certificate of occupancy, punch-out, and a move-in-ready or list-ready property delivered on schedule.

Common questions

Investment & multi-family FAQ

Do you build single properties for investors, or only larger multi-family projects?

Both. We build single build-to-rent homes for individual investors, small multi-family (duplex through fourplex), and larger portfolio builds for developers scaling a rental portfolio across several lots at once.

Can you work with my construction loan or DSCR lender's draw schedule?

Yes. We regularly build to the draw schedules used by construction and DSCR lenders, and we provide the documentation and inspections your lender requires at each milestone.

Do you offer portfolio pricing across multiple units or lots?

Yes. Repeating a floor plan across multiple lots lets us lock subcontractor pricing and materials in bulk, which typically brings the per-unit cost down 5-10% versus building each unit as a one-off.

How do you design for rental durability and lower turnover cost?

We spec finishes and systems for rental wear — LVP over carpet, durable countertop and cabinet materials, simplified landscaping, and mechanical systems chosen for reliability and easy service access — to keep your turnover and maintenance costs down over the hold period.

What is a typical timeline for a build-to-rent single-family home in DFW?

A standard 1,800-2,400 sq ft build-to-rent home runs roughly 7-10 months from permit to certificate of occupancy. Multi-family and portfolio builds run longer and are scoped per project based on unit count and phasing.
