One Busy Week to Say the Least

The week started with Nicole Hendrick, Coastal Living Idea Home Manager, coming in from Alabama with interns, Kacy Eoff and Sarah Noel to stage the Idea Cottage for the photo shoot that is scheduled for June 29th-July 2nd. The Idea Home is the first of the 10 courtyard homes to be built in the canal project called the Jefferson Canal Courtyards.

Along with things hopping at the Idea Cottage, throughout the week we continued to wrap up some of the final details for David and Sandy Thomas on their newly renovated home on Kiawah Island. A punch out and Friday closing of our LEED certified I'On cottage located on 4 Perseverance Street for the new owner, Bruce Wofford. Along with a final walk-through with custom home clients, Van and Darlene Fischer for their new home on 8 Perseverance Street.

Exciting and a little hectic all at the same time, but completely worth it! We can't say enough great things about the newest members of the Structures Family!

Congrats to Dave Hargis

Congratulations Dave Hargis on your 4th year with Structures Building Company! You never cease to amaze us with your ability to juggle all the projects we hand to you with even keel and a sense of humor. Last year you met the challenge of overseeing and completing a Habitat house for Latoya and her two girls in one week, this year you successfully ran and completed the Coastal Living Idea Cottage in four and a half months. Does it make you wonder a little what I might hand you next year for your 5th anniversary? Here's to many more years Dave!

The Population on Perseverance Street is Growing

Just last month a closing took place on our 32 Perseverance Street home, located in I'On Village, Mount Pleasant, SC. This month, all you need to do is take a little stroll down to the end of the street to see that our LEED certified cottage on 4 Perseverance Street is now under contract! Kim Meyer, with Chuck Avera Keller Williams Realty has successfully landed both of these closings! The saying, "Three times a charm" is out as a little challenge for Kim to see if she will be the one to bring the 2009 Coastal Living Idea Cottage to the closing table. . . we shall see!

Coastal Living Idea Home is Now Officially on The Market

Now is your opportunity to buy into a simplified lifestyle on The Jefferson Canal that this beautiful cottage encourages. This custom home is built to the LEED for Homes standard which provides an energy efficient, healthier environment, and greater sustainablity for you today as well as the future. That "green" element comes coupled with our high standard for quality craftsmanship, attention to detail and a focus on the client that Structures has been known for since 1999. This cottage doubles as a haven to retreat or a home where you can open the doors for lively parties, could it be right for you?
