Now entering its fifth decade of homebuilding excellence, Kay Builders Inc. has been building new Lehigh Valley homes and neighborhoods since 1961.

Under the leadership of founder Dick Koze, Kay Builders has established a reputation for excellence among industry peers and three generations of satisfied home buyers.

Now owned and operated by Rick Koze, the same skills and principals that made Kay Builders a success continue to apply. Rick grew up in the construction business, earned an economics degree from Yale and has had a successful career in finance. Experience and training, plus his perspective of the contemporary home buyer, make Rick uniquely qualified to lead Kay Builders.

As a family-owned and operated business, Kay Builders eliminates costly managerial layers between customer and builder. A sound reputation and excellent financial position help attract and keep the best subcontractors and suppliers. Strict quality controls, plus the economics of working as both developer and builder, provide maximum value to our customers. As both a developer and builder, we design and develop communities with a focus on the unique natural features of the land and surrounding environment. New homes are integrated into settings with amenities and features that add character and a sense of neighborhood.

Owner & Operator

Having built many award winning home designs and more than 24 new Lehigh Valley home communities, Kay Builders continues as a forward-thinking builder/developer constantly researching and implementing better ways to achieve our goals – leading the market by introducing innovative designs to the local area and building homes of enduring value creating strong, flourishing communities.

According to Rick, “I grew up in communities built by my parents and look forward to creating similar enjoyable environments for current and future generations of new home buyers.”
