At Hakes Brothers, we’re always looking for ways to innovate and push the boundaries of homebuilding  and our latest project in Sierra Norte Heights, Las Cruces, proves just that. In an unprecedented timeline, our team built a fully inspected, high-quality model home in just 35 days from forms to Certificate of Occupancy.

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

To our knowledge, this is a record-breaking new home build in Las Cruces that wouldn’t be possible without collaboration. Area Construction Manager Rick Padron led the project, coordinating closely with our expert Hakes Brothers construction team, trusted subcontractors, and local city inspectors. By aligning schedules and working together as a united front, we were able to streamline the construction process without sacrificing quality.

Quality Without Compromise

Speed doesn’t mean cutting corners. Every stage of construction underwent thorough inspections, and all passed with flying colors. From foundation forms to final finishes, our team ensured every detail met Hakes Brothers’ high standards. The result? A beautifully crafted model home that reflects both efficiency and quality craftsmanship.
