What Derrick Builders Inc does

Derrick Builders, Inc. is a privately-held luxury custom home builder headquartered in Kissimmee, Florida, founded in 1990 by Derrick Koger, a Central Florida native and third-generation craftsman. The company designs and constructs bespoke luxury residences in Central Florida's most prestigious residential communities, including Golden Oak at Walt Disney World Resort, Baldwin Park, Celebration, and The Sanctuary at Lake Butler Sound. Homes in Golden Oak start at $2 million, and the company delivers a diverse architectural portfolio spanning French, French Chateau, Italianate, Spanish Revival, Caribbean, Tuscan, Coastal, Modern, and Mid-Century Modern styles. Notable signature work includes Disney-themed custom rooms (Star Wars, Avatar, Pirates of the Caribbean, Cinderella, Maleficent, Fantasia) and the Capolavoro, an 8,160-square-foot Italianate model home at Four Seasons Private Residences Orlando.

The firm operates a project-based, fixed-price construction model targeting high-net-worth individuals, with revenue generated through one-time custom construction contracts. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: prospective buyers are engaged through referrals, design consultations, and the company's presence in curated luxury communities, supplemented by an Instagram channel and editorial features in Southern Living, Orlando Magazine, Luxury Home Quarterly, Florida Homebuyer Orlando, and Builder Magazine. The company holds a Florida Licensed Residential Contractor license (CRC058298), and is a member of the Master Custom Builder Council (since 1995), the Florida Home Builders Association, the National Association of Home Builders, and the Golden Oak Club. Owner Derrick Koger holds the Certified Green Professional designation.

Operationally, the firm runs with a small team (11-50 employees) led by Koger as Owner/President, supported by a long-tenured Project Manager (25+ years with the firm) and an Office Manager. Strategic design partnerships with Manzo Designs (architecture) and Toni Sims Design (interiors) extend execution capacity. The company's competitive positioning rests on its selected-builder status at Golden Oak and Four Seasons Private Residences Orlando, a 35-year track record, and a differentiated Disney-themed content library that is unique within the Disney-adjacent luxury market. The business is founder-owned with no evidence of institutional investment, prior ownership changes, or acquisition activity.
