After receiving a Construction Science degree from Kansas State University Jim decided to start his own construction company and focus on single family new home construction and quickly makes a name for himself in the local Kansas City area.

Jim Lambie partnered with John Geer and formed Lambie-Geer Homes, Inc. While both already had successful businesses the two decided to join forces to become one of the leading home building companies in the local Johnson County area. Jim remained President of the company which specialized in residential single-family homes, multi-family, and commercial construction along with some remodeling.

With Jim’s passion for new homes, he soon added land development to his list of accomplishments and managed and developed over 30+ land developments with all types of residential and commercial zoning uses. Many new home neighborhoods were the vision of Jim’s passion and have become “forever” home communities to many families!

With uncertain economic times on the horizon Jim Lambie had vision to transform his company, restructure and expand his business to accommodate the new market.  While still continuing to stay on top of the spectrum in the custom home market Jim added maintenance free villas along with many other types of single-family homes to every price point buyer.

Atlanta-based Grand Oak Builders acquires Lambie Custom Homes, Inc. The company will operate as Lambie Grand, LLC dba Lambie Homes and will continue to grow and provide new homes for all lifestyles, from the first-time home buyer to maintenance provided villas, and land development. Jim will remain in the daily operations and will be an integral part of the growing business.
