How long have you been building?
We were founded in 1972 as Spain Construction Company, grew into Spain & Cooper Homes, and have built across North Central Florida for more than 50 years. In 2022, third-generation Gainesville builder Tyson Riggins took ownership of the company, and in 2026 we became Riggins Design + Build, carrying that half-century tradition into a new chapter.

Can I build one of your floor plans, or does it have to be fully custom?
Either. You can choose one of our proven floor plans and make it your own, or start fully custom from scratch.
