We analyze the topography.
We listen to it.
We walk your land to identify the best natural building sites, focusing on drainage, slope stability and view preservation
If you are building from the ground up, finding the right piece of land is definitely the first step.
Carolina Builder can offer a 'builder's eye view' of your lot. We will orient your home to maximize the capturing of the sun's light ensuring that your primary living spaces receive the best natural illumination throughout the day
We don't believe in "cookie cutter" plans. There are other companies who offer standard floor plans and try to create signature designs, but our approach is a bit different.
If you can picture what you want, we can make it a reality bringing your ideas to life. And if you aren't sure then we'll help you design it!
We use "Chief Architect" design software and a good old-fashioned pencil. This gives us the tremendous advantage of three dimensional project drawings, and easy plan modification with a hand drawn feel
Your project is an investment.
If you plan to invest your hard-earned money then you'll want to account for every dollar! That's why we estimate every nail and typically stay away from the usual "square foot" method.
We have collaborated material data bases and store project data to provide estimates that are precise, reliable, realistic and unique to each project. When we are done, you will have a complete and transparent labor & material budget plan, complete with a bar chart schedule which can be tracked as the project progresses.
This detailed estimating capability is what sets Carolina Builder apart from other companies.
We'd love to prepare a free estimate for you
