As a builder, it’s a great feeling to watch a building start to rise from the dirt, but there is a lot of work that must happen first. A client usually does not realize the time, effort and costs just to get a house to the point where you see it in the photo above, and it’s no where near completion. We have just started!

Let’s look at what has happened in the form of a list to get us where we are today.

The Brunswick Islander, Beach House On Pilings Is Now Under Construction

Last week we started construction of the “Brunswick Islander”. The Islander is a 1344 sq. ft. beach home on pilings. Located in Holden Beach, NC in the quiet little subdivision of Brunswick Landing. If you are looking for Holden Beach Real Estate, this certainly deserves your attention.

The picture above is a rendering of the final product.

Arguably the best new construction value in Brunswick County, NC. $249,900 with an elevator.

If you have never experienced the convenience of an elevator in a home, let me tell you, there is nothing quite like it. I’m not a lazy person by any stretch and many times I skip the elevator and hit the stairs just to give a jumpstart to my heart. However, when you have a vehicle full of grocery bags or luggage, that elevator door is an awesome site.

We have an elevator in the D & S Building Contractors “Model Home”. Our guests who view this home certainly appreciate it. As a builder, we take into consideration that an elevator is really not a luxury, it’s a necessity. You are all invited to tour our model and experience the convenience of our 3-landing elevator for yourself. All D & S homes built in Brunswick Landing will feature elevators. If you are considering building 2-stories or more, an elevator should be in your plans.

Videos of this project are coming soon. If you would like to follow me while I show you the construction process, please subscribe to the BrunswickBroker so you will not miss a single entry.
