Ziman Development
We are proud to be Long Beach Island’s trusted home builder, ranked #1 on Houzz in Barnegat Light, Harvey Cedars, Long Beach Township, Surf City, Ship Bottom and Beach Haven. We attribute this not only to fine craftsmanship and strong relationships with the best trades on the Island, but especially to our proven Collaborative Method that turns our clients’ dreams into reality.
We want you to LOVE your new home! The last of our 5 Simple Steps, “Happily Ever After,” is the most important chapter of the story. That’s why Ziman Development stands behind every home we build and remodel, and our team will be here to meet your needs long after move-in day.
A custom home builder should put the client first at all times. After all, it’s your home, your investment and your dream. At Ziman Development, every decision is guided by clear communication, honest guidance and attention to detail, so you feel informed, confident and cared for from your first Idea Session to the day you get your keys.
We promise a 5-Star Experience every time, with everyone we work with, because building a home on Long Beach Island means more than putting up walls. It means building trust with our clients, our trade partners and our neighbors across the Island.
Design
Great home design isn’t found in a formula, and it’s not about the latest fads. It’s about creating a coastal home that reflects your personal style, fits the way you live and stands up to life at the shore. Our design team works side by side with you and trusted architects and interior designers to bring your vision to life.
Choice
Can you imagine trying to build your dream home with only a handful of choices? Neither can we. Whether you build on your lot or ours, our Collaborative Method gives you the freedom to customize layouts, finishes and features, so your Long Beach Island home is truly one of a kind.
Service
It may not be the first thing you look for when choosing a builder, but service makes all the difference. Our clients rate Ziman Development 5.0 on Houzz because we stay responsive, keep you updated at every stage and treat your home as if it were our own. Hear what our clients have to say about their experience.
From the first conversation to the final walkthrough, our process is designed to keep your custom home experience clear, collaborative, and personal. Every detail is thoughtfully planned around the way you want to live.
One team. One vision. One seamless experience.
Your vision starts the process. Our team guides everything that comes next, from design and selections through construction and completion.
We are a Design-Build firm. That means that, unlike builders who hand you off between separate designers and contractors, Ziman Development guides your project from the first sketch to the final walkthrough. You describe it, we draw it, you approve it, we build it, and you love it: one team and a 5-Star Experience from start to finish.
We have the honor of building our clients’ dreams and enhancing their lives. For more than 25 years, Ziman Development has helped families create custom homes and luxury remodels on Long Beach Island where memories are made summer after summer.
Every home we build is a forever home, designed for you, your family and the generations to come. That’s why we invest in the details, the people and the processes that make a home last, and why so many of our clients refer their friends and family to us.
What gets us out of bed every morning is the chance to build dreams and enhance lives, while protecting the Island we all love. Our actions have a profound impact on our environment, so as a homebuilder we take responsibility by building energy-efficient, sustainable homes with as close to negative carbon emissions as we can.
One Tree Pledge: In 2020, Ziman Development launched the One Tree Pledge, and in 2021 we partnered with One Tree Planted to help offset the carbon emissions of our homes’ energy use by planting trees and restoring forests.
Through awareness and specific steps, we strive for future generations to enjoy all the beauty that Long Beach Island, and the world, has to offer. Learn more about our sustainability commitment.
Our promise is to earn a 5-star review from our clients and everyone who has contact with Ziman Development before, during, and long after construction.

Every project is different, and your build time will depend on the size and scope of your home, permits, weather and trade availability at the shore.
