Den & Burrow

The business

Den & Burrow is a design and construction company in Lincoln, Nebraska, founded by Alec Calzada. The work brings design and building together, from early drawings and plans to permits and construction.

Alec learned drafting and design through an apprenticeship before starting his own business in 2021. He describes the work simply: he designs houses, then builds them. Listening to the homeowner and handling the steps between the drawing and the finished home are central to that approach.

The company’s website includes residential and commercial services, project information, a plans shop, and planning tools. Homeowners can contact the team or schedule a consultation through denandburrow.com.
