WHAT WE DO
A family firm, building for families
Highland Design & Construction was founded on a simple belief: building a home should be one of the best experiences of your life, not the most stressful. For two decades our designers, builders, and craftsmen have worked side by side under one roof so nothing gets lost between the drawing and the framing.
​
From residential to commercial, we're committed to providing you with the highest level of service, so that you and your family can begin your journey to building a legacy.

CLIENT REVIEWS
What our homeowners say
"Highland kept us informed every single week. The price we signed at groundbreaking is the price we paid at closing — that alone made the whole process stress free."
Anita & Mark Schaul
Custom Home · Summerville, SC
"Their design team took the rough sketch on my napkin and turned it into a floor plan that fits our family perfectly. The craftsmanship is genuinely a step above."
Dena Guthrie
Design-Build · Aiken, SC
"We were living three states away during the build. The weekly photos and honest updates made us feel like we were on site the whole time."
Greg & Marie Doucet
