Overview
Founded in 2008 and incorporated in 2006, it quickly grew into one of the largest privately held builders in the South.
Its hallmark is repeatable, efficient design—building affordable, energy-star homes across communities in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Texas, and Tennessee.
Typical projects include master-planned, single-family and build-to-rent communities, often featuring tight building envelopes and low-E windows.
DSLD’s integrated model stretches from land acquisition through mortgage, title, and close-in-30-days services.
Culture + Values
Energy-smart construction with a tightly sealed building envelope
Installation of energy-efficient HVAC systems and ENERGY STAR® appliances
Deployment of tankless water heaters in gas-available communities
Commitment to ENERGY STAR® certification for all new homes
Environment + Sustainability
All homes built to meet strict ENERGY STAR® standards verified by EPA testing, inspections, and labeling
Tightly sealed building envelope, weather-resistant barrier, and radiant barrier reduce energy use and enhance durability
Tankless water heaters heat only on demand, reducing standby energy loss
LED lighting packages standard in most homes
No stated net zero target or net zero homes currently—focus is on ENERGY STAR® certification and efficiency gains
