About Great Divide Home Builders

Rob Martin, owner of Great Divide Home Builders has been building custom homes for over 30 years.  With a background in architecture and the skill that comes with many years of experience, our homes are not only beautiful and functional but meticulous in detail.

If you’re thinking of building your dream home, you might have a picture of that home in your mind.  You’ve probably even collected a few photos of different architectural or design elements you like:  a sprawling front porch, an airy cook’s kitchen, a loft with a family room.  But is it possible to make all the ideas you’ve collected work together?  How will you know if that porch, kitchen and loft can be combined into a cohesive design?

That’s where we at Great Divide Home Builders come in.  Because we do all our own design work using three-dimensional software, you can see exactly how your custom home looks before we ever break ground at the building site. We work very carefully on our plans working towards nice, open, flowing plans that reflect the artistic vision of the home owner. We at Great Divide also pay close attention to the trend toward homes that have less environmental impact meeting or exceeding Energy Star efficiency standards.  The results are houses that are incredibly workable and suited to Montana’s environment and landscape.
