Where We Build (and Why It Matters)

We serve Myrtle Beach, Carolina Forest, Murrells Inlet, Pawleys Island, and North Myrtle Beach, plus communities across Horry & Georgetown counties. Each area has different site and permitting nuances; our team handles the paperwork and approvals to keep things moving.

Build on Your Lot (BOYL). We evaluate trees, setbacks, utilities, soil/elevation, drainage, and coastal code. We’ll flag septic/city tie-ins and any HOA/ARC constraints early, so budgets stay honest.

Our Process (What Working with Us Feels Like)

Discovery → Design & Pre-Con → Permits → Build → Punch & Handoff

Discovery: Goals, budget band, wishlist (multigenerational suites, outdoor kitchens, bunk rooms, elevators, EV charging, smart home).
Design & Pre-Con: We align plans, selections, allowances, and schedule; value-engineer without sacrificing look or longevity.
Permits/HOA: We file, track, and coordinate inspections—no surprises.
Build: Milestone walk-throughs, tight quality control, proactive updates.
Punch & Handoff: Thorough closeout, warranty orientation, and post-move support.

(If you prefer architect-led, we plug into your team. If you want design-build, we lead it.)

Real Projects & Problem-Solving

Project 620 — Ground-Up Momentum

“One beam, one brick, one dream at a time.” Early sitework set this home up for success: coastal framing details, moisture management, and future-proofed mechanicals. (Watch the build clips on our Facebook—seeing the sequence helps first-time custom clients visualize the path.)

Project Holloway — Whole-Home Transformation

Kitchen, mudroom, primary suite + bath, garage addition, new front door, fresh landscape/paint in and out, new deck—the works. We staged the schedule to keep the home usable, coordinated inspections to avoid bottlenecks, and delivered a cohesive, like-new feel.

Panoramic Pool Room — Indoor-Outdoor Living

A 25-ft sliding glass door opens to a custom pool and fire pit, with a feature fireplace anchoring the great room. This is coastal living done right: wind-rated assemblies, water management at thresholds, and materials selected for salt-air durability.

Coastal Craft: Built for Beauty and the Grand Strand

Structure: Wind-load engineering, uplift connectors, and foundations suited to soil/elevation.
Envelope: Salt-tolerant exterior systems, flashings that actually drain, and window/door packages matched to exposures.
Comfort & Efficiency: Options like spray foam, high-performance windows, ERV ventilation, and target HERS levels for year-round comfort.

Transparent Talk on Cost & Timing

Every custom home is… custom. But we make numbers clear before we swing a hammer.

Allowances (cabinets, appliances, lighting) are right-sized to your taste tier to avoid change-order “gotchas.”
Schedule is mapped from permit to CO with realistic lead times for coastal inspections and specialty materials.

Want a deeper dive? Ask for our Grand Strand Custom Home Cost & Timeline Guide—it explains site-prep ranges (fill/driveways/utilities), allowance planning, and how selections affect both budget and schedule.

Renovations, Additions & Outdoor Living

Not every dream starts from scratch. We also deliver whole-home renovations, additions, and outdoor spaces (kitchens, pools, decks)—with the same coastal rigour, schedule discipline, and finish quality as our new builds. Our COO Jeff’s OBIE Silver awards in “Best Addition” and “Best Basement” reflect that standard.
