In the beginning we needed help altering our floor plan and Ben Higgins did an amazing job making the floor plan exactly what we wanted. Our house was constructed on a timely schedule, maybe even a little ahead of schedule. Our first meeting after signing the contract was with Kevin, the well driller and the grader. Fortunately, they noticed that some of our oak trees were diseased and told us it would be best to remove them during the grading process. What a huge savings to remove them before the house was built. Their attention to detail was impressive! They are very knowledgeable about residential construction. Kevin kept us abreast of our selections. Their designer kept us on schedule with our selections. What a bonus to have a designer advise us about our selections too. We appreciated her opinion very much. Our overall experience with Higgins Building Group was very positive! **★★★★★ — David Schnepp, May 2026** > Higgins Building Group did an outstanding job building a lovely home for us at Lake James, NC. They were so easy to work with and kept us well informed throughout the process. They were on time and on budget, which is an amazing feat in this market. I have had so many people tell me how wonderful of a job the builder did on our home. We feel surely blessed to have been led to Higgins Building Group and select them as our builder. If you want a quality home built and not have any surprises, they are the builder to choose. **★★★★★ — Hugh Black, March 2026** > Our experience with Higgins Building Group was fantastic. From planning to execution the experience was seamless. Ben, Kevin, Brandon and the rest of the team were always there for us, returned calls very quickly, and built us a beautiful, incredibly solid home. I was very pleased that the home was finished on time and on budget. The team at Higgins Building Group now feels like family and they continue to take care of us when we have questions. I highly recommend Higgins Building Group! **★★★★★ — Beth Phillips, March 2026** > Working with this home builder was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Their team continually demonstrated a high level of professionalism and experience that made our entire process smooth and stress-free. Their level of communication and accessibility made our decision making easy and ensured that our expectations were always aligned. Simply put, their quality of work truly stands out in every aspect of construction even through to the finishing touches. > > Overall, this builder was a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend them as the outstanding choice for anyone looking to build a home. **★★★★★ — Doug & Michelle Harvey, March 2026** > We had an outstanding experience working with Higgins Building Group to build our custom home. From the very beginning, their team demonstrated exceptional quality, integrity, and professionalism in every aspect of the process. > > One of the things we appreciated most was their commitment to staying true to their word. They kept our project within the quoted price and timeline, which gave us incredible peace of mind—especially since we were living out of town during the build. That level of transparency and reliability is hard to find. > > The quality of their work truly speaks for itself. Every detail of our home was thoughtfully executed, and it’s clear they take great pride in their craftsmanship. They didn’t just meet our expectations—they exceeded them. > > Communication was seamless throughout the entire process. Even from a distance, we always felt informed, involved, and confident that everything was being handled with care. They made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. > > We are beyond happy with our home and would highly recommend Higgins Building Group to anyone looking for a builder who delivers exceptional results with honesty and accountability. We are so grateful we chose them. **★★★★★ — Sloan Smith, March 2026** > I can't say enough good things about Higgins Building Group. They recently completed ground-up construction of our new home in North Carolina, and we couldn't be more pleased with the process and the results. Ben, Kevin, and Chris completed the project on-time and within budget. It wasn't a basic home build, either. Our lot has a pretty severe slope and is on a lake. Higgins' experience with lakefront homes in the area was essential; there were no delays and no curveballs were thrown due to the nature of the property. Our home design was also different than the typical home builds in the area. Higgins Building Group was able to execute on our plans and unique designs without delay. Their team has continued to be in touch post-build to take care of any punch-list items that inevitably arise with new construction, as well. I highly recommend Higgins Building Group for any future projects. They are the consummate professional building team. **★★★★★ — Leonard Milligan, March 2026** > Ben and Kevin built our house on Lake James. 2 years ago and they did a great job. Finished on time and under budget. Kept us informed every step of the way. We highly recommend them **★★★★★ — Rhonda Peralta, March 2026** > ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ > We had an exceptional experience building our custom home with Higgins Building Group. Ben and Kevin are outstanding builders who truly care about quality, craftsmanship, and their clients. Their professionalism, integrity, and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. > > Jennifer, the selection consultant, was fantastic to work with and made the design and selection process easy and even fun. She helped us make great choices and really listened to what we wanted for our home. > > The finished home exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. If you are considering building a custom home, we highly recommend Higgins Building Group. They are an incredible team and we are so grateful for the beautiful home they built for us. **★★★★★ — Tim Milligan, March 2026** > Higgin's building group did a wonderful job building our home for us. They used quality products and allowed us to fully customize our design to our liking. The tall windows and fireplaces, custom eat-in kitchen, and elevator, were just a few of the beautiful and useful features incorporated into our home. We can't thank them enough for the beautiful home which included a custom Air bnb over the garage! > Thank you Ben and your team! **★★★★★ — Suzanne, March 2026** > From day one to project completion, the whole team at Higgins Building Group was amazing. They listened, guided and kept everything on track with our custom home build, all while working with top-notch, trustworthy contractors. What stood out the most: their high standards and how much they genuinely cared about the outcome. It’s rare to find a cohesive team that takes such personal ownership and goes the extra mile. We’re incredibly grateful for their support and cannot recommend them enough to anyone looking for a builder who truly stands behind their work and their customers. **★★★★★ — Rick, March 2026** > We had a fantastic experience with Higgins Building Group from start to finish. The entire process was well-organized and professionally handled every step of the way. Communication was excellent and the quality of the work was outstanding. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to build a house. **★★★★★ — Matt, March 2026** > The team at HBG are incredible. They have built 2 houses for my and my family and both are absolutely perfect. They were completed a head of schedule and under budget! Job site is the cleanest and most organized i have ever seen. I would build another house tomorrow if needed... and Ben and his guys were the one's building it! ## Selected projects - [OWC Rusty Hook](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/owc-rusty-hook-pj-vj~7415150) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Northview](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/northview-pj-vj~7400661) - Location: Morganton, NC - Photos: 1 - [Hunt Camp](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hunt-camp-pj-vj~7400667) - Location: Nebo, NC - Photos: 1 - [River Ridge](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-ridge-pj-vj~7400665) - Location: Morganton, NC - Photos: 1 - [Rusty Hook](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rusty-hook-pj-vj~7400671) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Gobbler's Neck](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gobbler-s-neck-pj-vj~7026968) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Dry Creek, Morganton](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dry-creek-morganton-pj-vj~6987300) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Dry Creek](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dry-creek-pj-vj~6977391) - Location: Morganton, NC - Photos: 1 - [1780 Nebo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/1780-nebo-pj-vj~6749495) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Milton, Newton](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/milton-newton-pj-vj~6322918) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Milton St.](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/milton-st-pj-vj~6322885) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [4th Street](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/4th-street-pj-vj~6322878) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Turtlehead Dr.](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/turtlehead-dr-pj-vj~6168406) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Camp Firestone](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/camp-firestone-pj-vj~6168400) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Avian Woods](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/avian-woods-pj-vj~6168389) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Catawba Springs](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/catawba-springs-pj-vj~6168386) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [OWC, Nebo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/owc-nebo-pj-vj~5725928) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Morganton](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/morganton-pj-vj~3448075) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [1780 Lake James](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/1780-lake-james-pj-vj~2453020) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Avian](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/avian-pj-vj~2347973) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 [See all 66 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/higgins-building-group-inc-pfvwus-pf~503672476) ## Ideabooks - [Farris Project](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/180015929/list/farris-project) — 1 idea - [Carriage House](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/16822849/list/carriage-house) — 13 ideas - [Enclosed Pool](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/24753330/list/enclosed-pool) — 14 ideas [See all 3 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/higginsbuildinggroup) ## Community Q&A **Q: Love the color combination!!** *(in Photo Questions)* This is exactly what I am looking for for our new build home.
