Arizona Custom Home Builder
From desert estates and mountain retreats to urban artisan homes, our work reflects the diverse landscapes, lifestyles, and communities across Arizona.
Arizona is more than a location. It's a lifestyle.
Wide-open desert spaces, rugged mountain vistas, and vibrant city neighborhoods provide the ideal canvas for a custom-built home. Unlike traditional developments, a custom-built home in Arizona allows homeowners to design with intention - taking advantage of lot orientation to maximize natural light, optimize indoor-outdoor flow, and create a residence that suits both the environment and lifestyle.
With over 100 years of combined experience, we understand the unique requirements of building in Arizona - from navigating city and county zoning to maximizing mountain views and ensuring long-term durability in the desert climate.

Client Experiences That Speak for Themselves
The McConnell Residence
Hear from the McConnell family about their experience working with Boxwell Homes to transform their vision into a one-of-a-kind Paradise Valley residence.
I really enjoyed meeting Evan and the Boxwell team while touring homes in Scottsdale and Phoenix with them. They are truly a first class organization that puts a ton of thought and passion into their homes. They are also turning out cutting edge designs! Keep up the great work!!
Was in a couple of Boxwell Southwest's homes. Uptown Row in particular was spectacular. Well done to the Boxwell Team. Met Evan Boxwell and his father Bob as well. Evan is 2nd generation builder, father is retired. Genuine, 'real' folks!
Amazing builder and designer!!
I have known Evan for years. The Team at Boxwell Southwest is definitely a first class organization. The quality of product that they have consistently produced for years is top-notch and innovative. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to build or remodel in the Phoenix area.
We have worked with Evan Boxwell and the team at Boxwell Southwest on a few projects, and they are fantastic to work with. Boxwell Southwest is a visionary, full service build company that beautifully executes modern design with the highest integrity and professionalism. Their great personalities, straight-forward honesty, and well laid out schedules and budgets make them very easy to work with, something that is incredibly important during the relatively long process of building a home. We find their true specialty is doing ground-up construction on infill/vacant lots, but they also perform well with large scale renovations and additions. We would highly recommend them.
