Our story starts with a desire to make homebuilding better. In 2003, Tom Dillard launched his company as a small, family-owned and operated luxury custom home builder anchored in uncompromising quality and attention to detail. A Clemson University graduate with a degree in mechanical engineering, Tom brought his knowledge of construction, management, business leadership, and community involvement to the table.
Inspired by a love for extraordinary beauty and defined by sophisticated style, Tom’s desire was to distance his company from the status quo in the market. He refused to be marked as just another luxury builder and wanted to focus his company on people, not profits.
Today, we’ve become so much more than homebuilders. We’ve assembled a team where each member can bring their unique background, style, and expertise to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind homes uniquely crafted to fit our clients’ desires. This extraordinary group of architects, designers, interior designers, and seasoned construction professionals work together under one roof to create beautiful, bespoke living spaces exceptionally tailored to our clients’ needs and styles.
Whether you’re local, abroad, or anywhere in between, our approach ensures a stress-free experience with unmatched results.

Passion. Excellence. Integrity.
Creating your home is deeply personal. Your trust in us to guide this process is the foundation of our relationship.
We promise to hold everything we do to our personal values of passion, excellence, and integrity. To always do better than we did yesterday. To make every fit, every finish, and every furnishing a reflection of these qualities.
We promise you’ll recognize each of these values at every turn, from our first meeting through the moment you walk into your new home…and beyond.

Exquisite Homes.
Exceptional Communities.
You can find our homes in premier communities around Lake Keowee, Greenville, Asheville, Cashiers, Highlands, and the mountains of South Carolina. We’re also proud to be one of The Cliffs Preferred Builders across all seven of their communities.
