James Schulze's foundation, which is the core of Discovery Development Group, started in his early childhood, when he was exposed to construction and framing over seas. From a young child, James knew that he wanted to make the world a greater place thanks to the support and leadership of his parents, missionaries who traveled the world, landing for long periods of time in South East Asia and Africa. At the age of 16, James had the privilege of building churches, school houses, and remote tribal villages in the mountains of Thailand and Eastern Africa. This is where he learned the core principals of framing and construction. He later moved back to his home in Southern California, an area known for their rich heritage of California Framers and by the age of 19, James was framing houses. He was quickly promoted to lead man, due to his exceptional attention to detail and passion for building. By 20, James was building whole houses and continued to do so, later accepting a construction management position building houses for D.R. Horton. After relocating to Charleston with the Airforce reserve, he once again re-entered the construction industry as a project manager, building high-end custom homes with Marsh Contracting. James later went out on his own, founding and launching Discovery Development Group, LLC. When James isn't overseeing projects throughout the day, you can still find him with his belt on, working hand in hand with his team members, teaching them daily the importance of durability and integrity as the foundation for Discovery Development Group. James also continues to serve our nation as a member of the United States Air Force Reserve at Joint Base Charleston and resides in Mount Pleasant with his three children and his wife. ### Services Provided - Home Remodeling - General Contracting - Home Additions - New Home Construction - Project Management - Energy-Efficient Homes - Energy Efficient Homes - Historic Building Conservation ### Areas Served - Charleston - Daniel Island - Mount Pleasant - Johns Island - Isle of Palms - Sullivans Island - Kiawah Island - Folly Beach - Charleston Afb ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Discovery Development Group, LLC | | Address | Charleston, South Carolina, United States | | Phone | (619) 623-0625 | | Website | https://www.discoverydevgru.com | | License Number | \#RBB49995 | | Followers on Houzz | 16 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/discoverydevgru/ - Blog — https://www.discoverydevgru.com ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Discovery Development Group, LLC](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/discovery-development-group-llc-pfvwus-pf~438889954) - **Website:** https://www.discoverydevgru.com - **Phone:** (619) 623-0625 ## Reviews **Overall rating: 4.7 out of 5 — 3 reviews** ### All 3 reviews **★★★★★ — Haute Magnolia Interiors, Sept. 2017** > I have been an interior designer for the past 12 years and worked with a lot of custom home builders. After meeting James with DDG, I can honestly say that he is the best out there hands down. His attention to detail is top notch, and I always feel confident recommending him to my clients as I know he will not only take care of them, but go above and beyond to make sure each project is handled with the upmost respect and care.
