Homoly Design Build

OUR HISTORY

Homoly Design Build’s roots can be traced back to Bela (Bill) Homoly, who left his native Hungary and settled in the Chicago area in 1903. Bela, a “House Carpenter” as per the 1920 Census, learned the art of carpentry from his father, and passed it down to his four sons. The youngest of them, Ernie, also followed in his father’s footsteps and honed his carpentry skills while working for the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression. Despite suffering injuries and losing some of the use of his right arm during World War II, Ernie persevered and continued to build for many more years in Chicago. Today, Homoly Design Build proudly displays his original business card in our office as a testament to our heritage.

Ernie, a master craftsman, passed on his skills to his son Guy, who was brought up learning the art of construction. Guy, however, pursued a different path and enjoyed success as a professional athlete, playing professional football and baseball. Unfortunately, a knee injury forced Guy to retire from sports in the early ’70s, but this paved the way for the Homoly Design Build legacy to continue. Guy’s two sons, Andrew and Casey, joined the business at a young age and worked tirelessly, from their early years through their college days. They were involved in every aspect of the projects, with Guy often assigning them the most challenging tasks. Guy would say, “Remember this boys, get a good education, and get the hell out of the construction business!” Both sons listened, with Andrew graduating with honors in Civil Engineering from the University of Illinois, and Casey receiving a degree in Chemistry from the same institution. Along the way, Andrew was named MVP of the Cross Country team and Co-Captain of the Track team, while Casey played baseball for Illinois. Although Andew entered the corporate world in Houston and Casey landed in Texas as well, Homoly Design Build continued to thrive in Chicago.
About four years later, however, Andrew had a life-altering epiphany. He pondered the thought of being on his deathbed and being asked what he had accomplished in his life. He was employed by Exxon at the time and realized that producing gasoline was not the answer! Despite grumbling during the challenging times working with his father, he realized that those were the most cherished moments of his life. He had the privilege of sharing lunch with his father and brother every day while leaving an indelible mark on the world that would endure long after he was gone. It filled him with immense pride to witness the homes and additions his father and grandfather erected in Chicago and the projects he undertook with his brother. He adored the construction process, and how he could blend his creative abilities with his engineering knowledge to create something magnificent.
At that time, Andrew had tied the knot with his college sweetheart, Cathy, who also happened to be a runner at Illinois. As they began building their family, they chose to move to Cathy’s hometown of Kansas City, where a significant portion of Andrew’s family also resided. Today, after 30 years of marriage, Andrew and Cathy have a son and four daughters, with Cathy continuing to work part-time with the company.

In 1997, following a brief employment period with a local engineering firm, Andrew founded Homoly Design Build of Kansas City. The company rapidly expanded and as a result, he required assistance from his father, Guy. After having moved to North Carolina for an early retirement, Guy was eventually convinced by his first grandchild to relocate to Kansas City and assist his son in the business. Guy subsequently joined the company in 1998 and continued working alongside his son until his well-deserved retirement in 2016.
Currently, the next generation has already assumed their place in the company. Mason, who obtained his Civil Engineering degree from the University of Missouri, paid his dues by taking on the “tough jobs” during his summer breaks. He is now an integral part of the team that aims to foster a family environment among the company, its skilled workers, and esteemed clients. Thank you for choosing Homoly Design Build!

Community Outreach

Homoly Design Build believes in giving back to our community and makes it a priority to be active in the Kansas City Metro and surrounding areas. 

Youth Sports Coaching

We have coached/assisted with more than three dozen youth sports programs for baseball, softball, basketball, flag football and track. In 2009, Andrew Homoly, a long time youth sports coach, discovered there was a huge need for sports teams for inner city girls. Despite the huge geographic area of Kansas City’s East Side, there were just a few scattered opportunities available. 

Andrew decided to found the X-Plosion, a 100% free 4th grade girls youth basketball team (sponsored by Homoly Design Build) for any girls in the KCMO school district. Andrew distributed flyers to the local schools and community leaders, offering full scholarships to each player selected for the team. Thirty girls attended tryouts and ten were awarded team membership. The challenges were many, but were met through the dedication of Andrew, the team family members, and the players themselves. Most of the team had never before played in an organized sport. The girls were taught the value of accountability, reliability and other life skills in addition to basketball skills. Discussions were held about “where” they wanted to go to college and not “if”. Family members looked on, cheered, provided transportation and motivation. Their daughters put in hours of hard-work and tremendous effort to become a competitive team, and the friendships established between teammates reinforced the values of commitment and dependability.
Andrew personally coached the team for the first year and then brought in strong women mentors to coach the girls in subsequent years. Many thanks to Lauren Kohn, Exselsa Cartwright, and Ivy Lynch-Shaw for donating their time to this wonderful group of girls. Watch this video to see the reward and excitement of the team’s FIRST WIN! This first group of girls have now entered various high schools throughout KCMO and many have made their school’s varsity squad! Here is a photo of three of the girls from University Academy.

Homoly exceeded our expectations on our basement remodel! We cannot say enough about their professionalism. They strive to provide the best customer service and quality to their clients. We provided a long list of wish list items for our basement and they delivered all of them and ahead of schedule! They didn’t look past one detail. Our basement turned out gorgeous and better than we could have even imagined. There is no doubt, if we do another remodel or build, they will be our first call!

On time. On budget. Trustworthy.Homoly Construction did a 5 month tenant finish for our company in the spring of 2021. Although I can not say that the project went completely smooth, I can say that I am very glad that we had chosen Homoly Construction from beginning to end. They brought a wealth of experience to the table that helped navigate the unknowns that come with this industry. Their friendly staff kept us well informed and when the project was finished it was on time and on budget. Building a home or a new facility has enough stress and moving parts as it is. Working with Homoly greatly reduced that stress knowing they where there to get the job done. I will use them again when the time comesThe TrippNT Team.
Best construction company out there. Their attention to detail is unrivaled. If you're in the market to build your new custom home this is the company you should consider.

Homoly Construction just completed an extensive 6 month remodeling project for us. Their knowledge and craftsmanship is the best in the industry. Their in-house team of top notch professionals delivered a product that far exceeded our expectations. The entire Homoly team employed a high level of expertise in the selections, design, construction and other needs of our project, eliminating a lot of stress that is usually experienced in these type projects. The team also demonstrated the highest level of Integrity and honestly from the start of the project to the end. A trusting relationship is vital in these projects. if they tell you they will do it - they do it. TheIr use of the Buildertrend app displayed the project status, scheduling and full financial transparency throughout our project. The entire process was a great client-contractor experience. Without reservation we highly recommend Homoly Construction.

The Homoly Construction Team is the best! Not only are they the best at what they do, but the team members we worked with over several months on major projects at our home were professional, friendly, knowledgable and flexible. We feel very confident to say that we had the highest quality contractors completing some very complicated work on our home AND at a price that was fair. What a relief from some experiences we've had with other contractors. We would highly recommend Andy Homoly's team of experts not only for major home projects, but for building your home or business from ground up!

Working with Homoly Signature Homes was an exceptional experience. From the very first meeting with Andrew Homoly to the daily interactions with his team; the entire process was a pleasure. We were based overseas while our house was being built therefore Trust, Communication and Quality were key imperatives in selecting a builder. The Homoly Team exceeded our expectations. During the project we received daily updates and forward looking information which ensured a seamless process. The Quality of build exceeded our already high expectations based on Homoly's reputation. And as mentioned, the team was a pleasure to work with. We are now thoroughly enjoying retirement in our Homoly Signature Home!
We used Homoly’s new handyman service to repair some drywall, paint, fix a dishwasher panel and to remove a bar top we were taking with us to a new house and wow were we impressed! The guys, Kirby, Chris and Don were prompt, efficient, knowledgeable and did a great job cleaning up! We will definitely use them again!

A Fraternity House is a complex system with a narrow and rigid construction timeline. Construction was the least stressful part of the project for me because of Andy. I had a lot riding on Andy and the Homoly team and they came through without a hitch. Homoly Construction was hired because we trusted Andy and he fulfilled every expectation. The Delta Tau Delta Fraternity House at Mizzou will stand for a hundred years or more.
Andy, Mason and the entire team did a fantastic job!!! From start to finish, they always deliver a solid experience!!! Great Job guys!!!

Homoly built our home almost three years ago and we are extremely happy with the building experience as well as living in a great well built home. Most builders will come back within the first year to follow up on minor issues that come to the attention of the homeowner. Homoly did a fantastic job with that first year but they are still here for us. We had an incident with a chandelier over the weekend that was the fault of the sub. To make a long story short, they had an electrician at our home on a Sunday afternoon. They followed up the next day with a work crew and scaffolding to make sure everything was just right. This is a company that stands behind their products. Highest recommendation!!!
