Structures Named Best Custom Home Builder in The Moultrie News

The people of the Lowcountry have honored us once again by voting for Structures as the Best Custom Home Builder!  Each year readers of The Moultrie News cast their votes for their favorite local businesses - everything from restaurants and entertainment venues to medical offices and auto repair shops.  The distinction of Best of the Best is given to business in several categories, and we are incredibly thankful to receive top honors in the custom home building category.  We truly love the community in which we live and build, and our aim is to provide the most enjoyable home building experience from start to finish!  Thank you to the readers of The Moultrie News for a great reminder of what a wonderful community we have - along with the help of fantastic subcontractors, suppliers, and architects - you help make us the BEST!

Habitat Builders Blitz - Celebration and Thanks

After just one short week, a lot of sweat, (and some tears too) - we can now celebrate a safe, affordable, new home for a deserving family and the completion of the 2016 Builders Blitz! This past Saturday Structures had the privilege of gathering with our homeowner Judy's friends and family, many of the volunteers and trades who participated in the build, and the staff of both JacksonBuilt Homes and East Cooper Habitat for Humanity to dedicate the home and celebrate a new chapter in Judy's life.  Several ECHH staff spoke as well as Structures owner, Steve Kendrick, and Richard Jackson, owner of JacksonBuilt Homes giving thanks for an incredible week of hard work and wishing Judy all the best in her new home!

 

 

 

 

And we simply cannot say thank you enough to the MANY trades, suppliers, donors, and volunteers who made this Builders Blitz possible!  Both Structures and JacksonBuilt Homes gathered some of their best trades and suppliers to donate time and material - and in a very busy building season, this was a generous gift!  We also had several local restaurants who donated lunches and snacks each day of the build.  It was a great reminder that not only do we love what we do - but we love the people we get to spend our days with building up the Lowcountry.

Habitat Builders Blitz - That's a Wrap!

 
As the final days of the 2016 Habitat Builders Blitz came into view, our incredible crew of trades and suppliers worked almost around the clock to wrap up the project!  The kitchen cabinets were installed, interior walls painted, flooring installed, door and cabinet hardware placed, all plumbing fixtures were put in, and appliances delivered.  All hands were on deck from East Cooper Habitat for Humanity and both the Structures team and JacksonBuilt Homes to bring the build to a close.  And Judy, our homeowner, continued to work alongside us every step of the way.  It has been a joy to get to know her through this process, and we couldn't be happier to give the keys of this home to her.

Here are a few photos of the last couple of days of the Builders Blitz - stay tuned for more to come when East Cooper Habitat for Humanity dedicates the home with a celebration on Saturday!

Structures Building Company has once again been given the honor of GuildMaster with Highest Distinction by our third-party surveying company, GuildQuality!  At the close of each project, using a GuildQuality survey, our homeowners give us feedback on a variety of items including quality of work, schedule, budget, overall satisfaction with Structures and many more.  This is a great resource for our company, and helps us find ways to maintain excellence in customer satisfaction and continue to build the highest quality homes in the Lowcountry.  The GuildMaster distinction is given to custom builders who receive excellent scores on their surveys, and we are thankful that our clients continue to have a remarkable building experience with Structures!

As one happy client recently responded at the completion of their home:

“Structures Building Company exceeded our expectations in every way during the building of our new home. Their staff is knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to work with. Throughout the process they communicated consistently, keeping us up to date on the work being done and the construction schedule, as well as promptly answering any questions we had. We have been in our new home about a month, and the quality of construction and attention to detail is evident everywhere. We would absolutely recommend Structures to anyone considering doing a new build or renovation project!”

New Neighbors in I'On Village!

I'On Village has a beautiful new addition to the community and a couple of great new neighbors.  We recently completed this DesignBuild project for wonderful out of town clients looking to build their dream home and settle into Lowcountry life.  The unique home, designed by Neal Van Dalen, features incredible custom details throughout and a beautiful outdoor pool space for relaxing and entertaining.  Large porches overlook the charming courtyard and custom pool and cabana-style pool house.  The home has 4 bedrooms, 4 1/2 bathrooms and a suite over the garage complete with a kitchen, bedroom, and balcony sitting area.  One of the bedrooms is especially unique as it is designed as a modern Japanese Tatami room with textured walls and tatami mat flooring.  The tatami room also features a Murphy bed and an en suite bathroom with a teak tub designed to overflow.

We truly couldn't be more excited to welcome this couple to our Structures Family of homeowners, and this was a fun project from start to finish!  We invite you to take a peek inside this beautiful home:

Houzz Features Two Structures Custom Homes!

If you have searched the internet for great home design ideas recently, you have no doubt come across Houzz, an incredible website that allows users to create idea boards to gather favorite photos and find building, architectural, and design professionals.  Here at Structures, we love Houzz and think it’s a great tool for collecting ideas when planning to build your custom dream home!  Another unique feature of the site is a huge vault of “stories” written by professionals in the industry.  These stories give design advice, offer ideas about a particular area of the home, and include photography from Houzz profiles.  Structures has recently been included in two of these stories!

This Structures custom home’s guest bedroom in Daniel Island Park was featured for its clean-lined and modern crown molding and window casing.  The Houzz feature focuses on how simple architectural details can have a huge impact on a home’s design.  (Designed by Cobb Architects)

And this beautiful foyer in Mt. Pleasant’s Old Village welcomes you to a stunning custom home designed by Herlong & Associates and a sweeping view of Charleston Harbor!  The story in Houzz pays special attention to the dramatic entry lantern that defines the space.

ReStructure in Mt. Pleasant - Before & After!

We recently completed an extensive remodeling project for a wonderful family in the heart of Mt. Pleasant.  The already lovely home needed a little updating and some restructuring to make it more functional and a perfect fit for our client.  Our ReStructure team gave the kitchen a complete makeover with custom cabinetry, new appliances, and a dramatic tile wall.  They also took down walls to open up the living area, recreated their entertainment area and wet bar, and gave the powder room a new look.  Among other changes, this remodel gave this family a much better living space that suits their family!
