Our Process

Your journey in custom home construction or home renovation with Morgan-Keefe Builders begins with an in-person consultation to discuss your vision and needs for your bespoke home. MKB cherishes the formation of a long-standing relationship, and tailors this consultation to not only get to know you personally, but to assess and gather information about your home and property needs inclusive of home style, lifestyle, timeline and budget.

Morgan-Keefe Builders has over 40 years of experience building the highest quality homes throughout the Southeast, on diverse landscapes ranging from mountain cliffs to lake shores. As a preferred builder and partner with Western NC and Upstate SC’s premier developments and real estate groups, MKB assists with site selection and analysis. We leverage our extensive knowledge of development and county regulations, geotechnical composition, and utility planning to maximize the lot’s view potential and ensure optimal house placement, bringing your vision to life.

Once your land has been selected, we guide you through the team-building and design process. Based on your unique vision and needs, MKB collaborates with key regional and national partners to assemble the perfect team to create your custom Work of Art. We provide guidance in bringing together the architect, interior designer, and landscape architect to collaborate closely with MKB throughout the design process, ensuring everyone works cohesively as the plan takes shape.

During the design phase, we are in constant communication with your selected architect and designer to ensure that both your budgetary and visionary needs are being met. We work together through this process to achieve your desired end goal, and when it’s finalized, we move into our detailed planning, selections, and estimating phases.

Upon completion of our detailed estimating process, we finalize the pre-start checklist for your approval, draft the construction contract, and confirm a start date. Our dedicated project managers serve as your single point of contact throughout the duration of the project and are on-site daily, overseeing the work and ensuring the quality level our clients have come to expect. We provide updates with photos, videos, and weekly reports—keeping you informed every step of the way.

Exacting attention to detail is the cornerstone of every MKB project, no matter the scope or size. How we work with clients throughout the construction process fosters long-lasting relationships that endure through initial construction, additions, and beyond. Even after custom homes change hands, new owners frequently choose to partner with Morgan-Keefe on new projects and renovations.

Our commitment to exceeding expectations extends beyond the construction and warranty phases. We offer a customizable home maintenance program to ensure peace of mind, protect the value of your investment, and foster lifelong trust and relationships. We're always at your service, ready to assist with any needs as you settle into your new Work of Art.
