Reason To Celebrate!

L-R - CTHBA Board Member - Anne Svetlik, SBC Owner - Steve Kendrick,
SBC Designer - Deborah Way & CTHBA Treasurer, Andy Barber

We are excited to announce that our team just received two Pinnacle awards at the Home Builders Association of SC's annual convention! Both awards were given to us for the Coastal Living Idea Cottage. This was the first year we submitted any of our homes on a state level, so you can imagine how awesome it was to hear "Structures Building Company" announced twice during the evening of the Celebration of Excellence!

We received our first award for Green Building - Best Overall and the second award was Green Building - Most Energy Efficient. While we would say we're a "green" builder, our definition of what it means to be green is often very different than what most envision. Green building to us doesn't necessarily mean bamboo floors and dual flush toilets as the buzz word suggests, though we can install those if you'd like. Rather green building to us is actually a healthier, more sustainable and durable way to build a quality home that will withstand Charleston's hot and humid environment. Most of the things that make our homes "green" aren't visible to the eye once the sheetrock goes up, instead they're actually incorporated in design and construction methods. We love taking the time to educate our clients on the different techniques. That way they are able to understand firsthand the science behind it and then choose different construction methods that we have adopted as our standard way of truly protecting the sustainability of their high performance home.

Over six years ago, Steve actually "stumbled" into green building. His vision since 1999 has always been and will continue to be the pursuit of building each home to the highest standard of excellence. According to Webster's dictionary the definition of pinnacle is the "highest point of development and achievement possible". I think it would be a fair and true statement to say that each home we are privileged to build, we build to the highest point of development and achievement possible!

This week Steve and his wife went downtown Charleston to hear Josh Ritter at the Music Farm. They really enjoyed listening to a very talented musician, not to mention a fun night out! When Steve came into the office this morning, he asked us to Google the images of Josh Ritter. We all started laughing as the picture had a weird resemblance to our very own boss. . . ya think he has a long lost younger brother he didn't know about? He thinks Josh got his great looks from him, we asked Steve if Josh possibly imparted his musical talent to Steve. Steve assured us that Josh did not! :)

Happy Anniversary Dave!

Congratulations to Dave on his 6th year with Structures! His experience as Project Manager overseeing the many facets of new construction and his enthusiasm for the trade continue to enhance Structures Building Company. Dave's commitment to Structures and the clients sets him apart and makes us thankful to have him as part of the Structures family.

Appreciation Lunch

In order to show their appreciation to all those who have been part of their remodel, our clients in the Crescent in West Ashley hosted a lunch catered by Food for the Southern Soul. Everyone came out on a beautiful Monday afternoon and had their fill of barbecue, red rice, macaroni and cheese, collard greens, and sweet tea. It was a wonderful time for everyone to come together and celebrate the hard work that will make this home even more of a dream home for our client.

Le Creuset Photo Shoot

Many exciting things are taking place at our most recently completed custom home on Daniel Island. First, it serves as the cover feature on the latest issue of Charleston Style & Design magazine. Second, Le Creuset set up shop in their kitchen and living room this past week for a photo shoot.

Cars lined the streets outside, and Le Creuset's finest products packed the back porch.

Photographer Matthew Scott and his team captured photos for the Le Creuset website.

The table was set multiple times with varying colors of Le Creuset dining ware, cookware, and wine glasses. Iverson Catering used the beautiful kitchen to prepare food for the shoot. We captured a glimpse of the tabletop - stay tuned to Le Creuset's website for the full pictures.

Muddy Boots Marketing Meeting

In preparation for last Sunday's Muddy Boots Open House, Deborah and Anne Marie took their marketing meeting to Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream on Isle of Palms for the annual Free Cone Day. Deborah has been celebrating with Ben and Jerry's for the past 16 years, and this year did not disappoint.


You could say that a lot of details and planning went into our Open House for a custom home in the Old Village - solely based on the number of scoops Deborah and Anne Marie consumed.

The event turned out to be a great opportunity to show our building practices that help create an energy-efficient, sustainable, healthy and more durable home. Thanks to everyone who came out to our Muddy Boots Open House, we enjoyed having you there!
