About us
About us
About us
We are quality builders
As a family-owned business, our journey has taken us around the world — living, working, and learning in many countries before planting roots here in North Carolina in 2001. From the very beginning, construction & homebuilding has been more than just our profession — it’s been our passion. Even our son has grown up on job sites, learning by watching, helping, and understanding the care and detail that goes into every project we build.
That commitment to honesty, quality, and care is what defines every home we build — and every relationship we form along the way.

From lush greenery to well-planned hardscapes, we make sure there is a balanced appeal.

Clean Lines
When planning a home, we think of the bathroom as more than just a functional space. A clean-line bathroom combines practicality with modern aesthetics, creating a retreat that feels both refreshing and refined.

The bathroom feels like a spa retreat. The clean lines and uncluttered design make the whole space feel bigger and brighter. We love how simple, and modern it is.

Functional Kitchens
Quality is more than appearance. We select materials that stand up to everyday use — solid wood cabinetry, stone or quartz counters, precision-installed tile, and energy-efficient appliances. Function Meets Lifestyle We build with the homeowner in mind: smart storage, ergonomic layouts, and integrated technology that makes cooking and entertaining effortless.

Answering your questions
Got more questions? Reach out to us using the button below
What is a spec home?
A spec home is a move-in-ready house built with the same attention to quality and design as a custom home—but without the long wait. We carefully select layouts, finishes, and materials that appeal to modern buyers, ensuring every home feels unique and thoughtfully designed.
Can I make changes or choose finishes before closing?
Depending on the stage of construction, yes. If the home is early in the build process, we often allow buyers to choose certain finishes such as flooring, paint colors, or lighting. Our goal is to give you flexibility while maintaining the design integrity that defines our homes.
What sets your spec homes apart from others?
We pride ourselves on craftsmanship and detail. Every home we build features clean lines, efficient layouts, and unique interiors—no two are alike. We use high-quality materials, energy-efficient systems, and timeless design elements that hold value for years to come.
Are your homes energy efficient?
Yes. We incorporate modern building techniques, high-performance windows, and durable materials that reduce energy use and maintenance costs. Our goal is to build homes that look great, perform efficiently, and stand the test of time.
How do you decide on your interior design choices?
Each home’s interior is curated to reflect its setting and layout. We balance natural textures, light, and function—mixing classic elements with modern design. The result is a home that feels cohesive, comfortable, and genuinely one of a kind.
What kind of warranty or builder support do you provide?
What kind of warranty or builder support do you provide?
How long does it take before I can move in?
Since our spec homes are either complete or nearing completion, the move-in process is typically much faster than building custom. Once closing is finalized, you can move in almost immediately—often within just a few weeks.
Do your spec homes hold their value over time?
Yes — our homes are designed and built with longevity in mind. We focus on timeless architecture, durable materials, and thoughtful layouts that appeal to a wide range of buyers. That combination of quality craftsmanship and smart design helps our homes maintain strong resale value for years to come.
