Custom Homes

Fully Custom Homes, Built Around You

Fully custom new construction in the Charleston area — designed around your land, your lifestyle, and your goals, and built by one connected team from design through the final walkthrough.

Fully custom means just that. There's no required plan catalog and no design restrictions — every home we build starts with your property, your priorities, and the way you want to live, then moves through an organized process of design, estimating, and construction.

Already own land — or still looking for the right homesite? The full property-to-construction journey lives on our Build on Your Lot page.

What a Fully Custom Home Includes

01

Design

We design around your property and your priorities — not a fixed catalog of plans. Start from a blank page, or adapt a plan you already love into something that fits the way you live.

02

Lifestyle

How you live shapes what we build. Entertaining, working from home, outdoor living, aging in place, and room to grow are designed in from the first conversation.

03

Home Features & Customization

Elevated coastal foundations, full-width front porches, screened porches off the marsh, custom stairwork, and interior finishes selected with you — not from a limited options sheet.

04

Construction Quality

Detailed structural work built for the Lowcountry — hurricane-resistant design, elevated construction, and quality checks through every phase of the build.

One Connected Team

Design, Estimating & Construction — Together

Because design, selections, and estimating stay connected, the home you approve is the home you budget. Every custom build includes:

  • Design coordination, in-house and with our design partners
  • Itemized estimating so you understand the investment before you commit
  • Selections guidance — finishes, fixtures, and materials
  • Permitting and approvals handled for you
  • Organized project management from preconstruction through construction
  • Final walkthrough and a home ready to live in
