Home Builder in Dawsonville

Custom homes, basement finishing and renovations in Dawsonville and Dawson County, from Lake Lanier to Amicalola Falls.

Dawson County runs from the north end of Lake Lanier up to Amicalola Falls, with the GA-400 corridor bringing fast growth in between. It is close enough to Ellijay for us to be on site regularly and close enough to Atlanta that many of our Dawsonville clients still commute.

Building in Dawson County

Lake lots come with shoreline rules and view decisions; mountain lots toward Amicalola come with grade and access. Subdivision lots along GA-400 are simpler to build on but often have architectural standards to meet. We have built all three kinds and manage Dawson County permitting and inspections for you.

Dawsonville is about forty-five minutes from our office. Call before you buy a lot and we will walk it with you.

Good to Know

Building in Dawsonville: common questions

Can you build on a steep mountain lot?

Yes, and most of our lots are. Walk-out basements, retaining walls, driveways and drainage are designed into the plan from the start rather than solved on the fly.

Do you help with land, wells and septic?

We will walk a lot with you before you buy it and tell you what it will take to build there, including well, septic, driveway and clearing. A cheap lot is not cheap if it costs a fortune to prepare.

How do you handle budget and changes?

You get an itemized budget with allowances for your selections. Changes are priced in writing before they happen, so there are no surprises at the end.

Who will I deal with?

John. He runs the job, walks the site and answers the phone. That is the point of working with a small builder.
