Magleby Construction

What Magleby Construction does

Magleby Construction is a Utah-headquartered luxury custom home builder founded in 1974 by Paul Magleby and now led in its second generation by Chad Magleby as President and CEO. The firm operates four core divisions: Estate Homes (custom luxury home construction on $1M+ to multi-million-dollar projects), Remodel (renovation services anchored by the proprietary ClearBuild™ process, which maps budgets and schedules before construction begins), Communities (custom and semi-custom development in premier Utah and Idaho neighborhoods such as Stein Eriksen Residences, Blue Grouse Ridge, Rosecrest, Thunder Spring, and Diamondback), and Property Services (ongoing maintenance under annual service plans, seasonal services, and a la carte work). It serves affluent individual homeowners, partnering with tier-one architects and interior designers including Think Architecture, Brunelle, Simons Design Studio, Denton House, Latham Interiors, and RLB Architecture.

The business model is predominantly project-based, one-time construction revenue, supplemented by a small but structurally important recurring revenue component from Property Services. Sales are relationship-driven, with the majority of new clients referred by previously satisfied homeowners, and engagements begin upstream of architectural design so Magleby can guide scope, budget, and feasibility. Pricing is fully custom and quote-based; no standardized tiers are published. The firm employs 101-250 people and operates from offices in Lindon (headquarters), Park City, Uintah, and a mailing address in Pleasant Grove, with active project work in Utah and Idaho.

Magleby has accumulated unusual industry recognition for a firm of its size, including two National Association of Home Builders Custom Builder of the Year awards (2007 to Paul Magleby, 2016 to Chad Magleby — the first time the award was given twice to the same company), a Utah Home Builders Association Lifetime Achievement Award, Gold Nugget and Best in American Living awards, and green building certifications under the National Green Building Standard and Build Green Utah. Ownership is private, family-controlled, with no indication of external institutional capital or private equity backing.
