By carefully listening to clients’ visions and dedicating ourselves to executing those visions, we plan and build dream custom homes in the Midlands of South Carolina, including Chapin — one of the most sought-after communities in the area. For insight into how long it may be until your move-in date, what building materials to use, and everything else that goes into building a custom home, we’ll be able to address your specific home’s timeline as we discuss your project together.
We encourage open communication with clients, and facilitate it via the BuilderTrend app. Use this mode of communication to ask questions, schedule walkthroughs, or refresh your memory about previous conversations and decisions. Walkthroughs happen regularly so that clients are always up to speed on what phase of construction we are in and how the build is progressing. Wherever you plan to live, whether in Chapin or elsewhere in Central South Carolina, we can handle planning and building a custom home.

How Long Does it Take to Design a New Custom Home in Chapin, SC?
How long it takes to finalize house plans for your new custom build depends on its complexity. Smaller homes with fewer rooms and less complicated floor plans may take less time to plan, while large custom homes with luxury finishes may take more time. We can help you meet your target move-in date as you plan with us in Chapin.
The final result should match your expectations exactly, and you should feel free to speak up about anything you want to change before we move forward with house plans. You must approve house plans in order for us to obtain permits and zoning approval, and we’ll help you navigate the approval process.
It may take less time to plan a new home when you choose to modify any of the plans from our portfolio. Doing this still yields a unique, customized home, without having to start the plans entirely from scratch. You can peruse our portfolio of base plans on our website and during your vision meeting to see if any resonate with you.
What Building Materials Should I Use for My New Custom Home?
Let us help you choose the right building materials to achieve the aesthetic you want for your custom home while also considering the climate of South Carolina and your target budget.
Certain building materials do not hold up as well in South Carolina’s humid climate, such as wood. Fiber cement siding, on the other hand, handles humidity and heat just fine and withstands other aspects of South Carolina’s climate, such as rainstorms, cold, and pests.
The building materials you choose may make your home more energy efficient, too, and we can show you which options are best for reflecting heat in the summer and keeping the interior of your home nice and cool.
Choosing the wrong building materials might compromise the home’s longevity and stability, something new homeowners may want to avoid. Don’t worry, even if you visually prefer certain siding or roofing materials that do not suit South Carolina’s climate, we may find visually similar alternatives that are more suitable for the climate.
Where Should I Build My New Custom House in South Carolina?
Whether you live in South Carolina or are relocating there from another state, selecting the right location to build a custom home and move your family is a massive decision. Areas like Chapin are great for residential construction, especially large, custom homes.
Chapin is a South Carolina town with a relatively small population. While there is a community feel, there is also plenty of space to breathe, and often a significant distance between neighbors that offers considerable privacy. It’s also known for luxury and has a top-rated school district.
While Chapin is a small town, it is also near enough to Columbia, a big city. Only about 30 minutes or so from the downtown area, Chapin keeps you close enough to the hustle and bustle while still offering the peace and tranquility of a small, tight-knit town.
We also build in other locations throughout the Midlands of South Carolina, so reach out if you plan to build a custom home in Lexington or Richland Counties or other areas around Columbia, SC.
Can I Walkthrough My Custom Home During Construction in Chapin, SC?
We welcome walkthroughs with clients, but urge them to schedule these visits in advance for their safety. We will keep things organized and flowing nicely and let you know when to expect your visits so there won’t be any surprises for you. If you would like more walkthroughs than we typically schedule, please reach out, and we can arrange an extra site visit.
That said, scheduled walkthroughs happen so regularly, most clients don’t feel they need any more. Immediately after we complete any major construction phase, the client gets a walkthrough to assess the progress. This also gives the client an opportunity to point out anything they may decide they want to change.
Walkthroughs are not just for gauging progress, but also for meeting with vendors, comparing selections, and making decisions about specific finishes, such as lighting fixtures or bathroom hardware. Clients may feel more confident about selections when they can visualize them in the space, which is why walkthroughs are important.
