We build
We're Sundog Design + Build: a low volume, high touch custom home builder serving Cashiers & Western North Carolina.
Low volume, high touch
A dedication to service.
As a small team, we cap our volume at 6-8 projects per year— a scale that means our clients work directly with our leadership from beginning to end.
Our driving question is not,
"Can we build it?"
Our driving question is,
"How will it stand the test of time?"
As an engineer-led organization, we specialize in long-term thinking.
We're renown for our deep specialization in build-site analysis— formal education honed over decades of practical experience building on the uniquely challenging topography of the Southern Highlands.
But before ground is ever broken, our builds are subjected to rigorous engineering scrutiny. From structural foundations and framing systems, to geotechnical engineering, to long-term material performance and beyond, our low-volume mindset affords us the bandwidth to get the details right— and to deliver to our clients exceptional homes built to perform for generations.
Recent Work
Communication and transparency are fundamental to our process.
We're well-versed in working with clients whose primary residences are in Florida, Atlanta, Charlotte, or further afield— clients who can't be on-site once a week, or even once a month, to check progress. So we've honed our process to cater to their reality. And through our project management tooling, milestones, budget updates, and progress photos are visible in real-time. So our clients always know where things stand—without having to ask.
