Serving Raleigh, NC since 2000
Design & Build
Home building is as much an art as it is a technical skill, and the interaction between the builder and the home owner is as important as the relationship between the builder and his tools. When either relationship fails, setbacks in both planning and execution are sure to follow.
Don Collins Builder, Inc. passes around such pitfalls by establishing a strong connection with our clients from the outset, working hand-in-hand throughout the entire building process, educating and listening carefully to your uniquely valued wants, needs and ideas.
When working with Don Collins Builder, Inc. on your New home construction in Raleigh NC, your project always involves breaking the process down into individual phases, and then establishing a smooth synergy between each process, fostering communication between team members and succeeding in creating one vision for the entire project.
When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will see it. You’ll know it’s there, so you’re going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.

Realizing the Dream
This is the first step to turning your dreams into reality. You have an ideal in mind, and we believe anything short of that ideal is unacceptable. In our initial meeting we will determine the style of home you desire, the number of bedrooms, baths and garages, and an array of additional variables catered to your liking. Do you have a particular square footage in mind, or a budget to follow? Have you always yearned for a spacious basement, or maybe a few laps in the morning around your swimming pool? With Don Collins Builder, Inc., nothing is out of reach.

Choosing Your Lot
At Don Collins Builder, Inc., we offer you the ability to build your new custom home on your own lot or on a home site that we currently own. We can also assist you in finding and purchasing the perfect home site if you have not previously done so.
Each home site has its own individual characteristics and opportunities. Once we have determined our goals, a site should be chosen to accommodate your family’s desires, whether it be in a subdivision with pool and tennis courts, or a secluded site with privacy and space. Once this has been determined, we can begin the design of your new custom home.

Orientation and desired views, setbacks and location, typographical and slope issues all play a part in the design and cost of construction.
