New Home Builder
Our History: Rooted in a Farm
1994
Wisconsin Family Farm
The Anchor story starts on the family farm where John, Barak, and Tim first tackled building projects together. Later they would join a custom home builders’ crew to pay for college.
2005
Anchor Builders Building & Framing Crew
The brothers’ vision took shape when they formed Anchor Builders in 2005. Working on that framing crew, they began to talk about how they would do things differently to improve the construction-client experience and ensure the highest-quality standards on every job.
2014
Design-Build
Anchor Builders added design to their capabilities, officially becoming a design-build company. Anchor’s designers provide everything from one-off selection guidance to assistance from the ground up.
