He was consistently timely, communicative, and helpful. His work is top tier and everything was done with care, creativity, and effort. This is true quality customer service and talent. I am so happy with my home! I highly recommend Girsh Development- you will not regret working with them and the results will be amazing! **★★★★★ — R&D Design Group, April 2023** > I've been working with Girsh Development since 1995 and believe they are one of the best Developers and general contractors we've worked with. Part of the challenge of going into a construction project or buying a design-built house is committing to a relationship with a Developer. It's a leap of faith to trust them with your vision, budget, schedule, and with attention to quality. Mark tactfully delivers projects of exceptional quality while staying on schedule and under budget. We hope to work with Mark and his team again and again and again. **★★★★★ — Tuan Ong, March 2023** > I am very happy to work with Mark, Girsh Development Inc. Mark is honest and and upstanding individual when it comes to his work. Mark has stood by his work time and time again, and the best thing is that we still get to see each other from time to time to reconnect and talk about future projects and just life in general. I could not have asked for a better person to help me along with this process. **★★★★★ — Alex Kleiman, Oct. 2022** > Highly recommend working with Mark and his team at Girsh Development. He is extremely honest, experienced, and knowledgeable in the home building process from vision and design all the way to the moment you get the keys to your new home. Our project was perfectly managed from start to finish with excellent communication and attention to the smallest details throughout. Mark was always there to answer questions, discuss possible changes, or potential of any scheduling issues. He is upfront, insightful and most importantly, he is very trustworthy. Could not be happier with the decision we made to work with Girsh Development for out new home construction project. Thank you, Mark!!! **★★★★★ — Partho Ghosh, Sept. 2022** > Mark Girsh was the General Contractor on our build of a custom designed modern house in Princeton, NJ. There are a few reasons I would recommend him highly as a GC. 1) He's honest. After the build he stood by his warranty and was there for 5 years as we ironed out any issues we had. 2) He's reasonably priced. There are some firms which will underprice the project and then increase the price with change orders. He did not do that. His pricing was reasonable at the beginning and stayed that way. 3) He's good at what he does. We had a problem with a sub-contractor who custom-made a stainless steel railing showcased in our great room. Mark took care of it. He's got initiative, doesn't make excuses and does what he says he'll do. For all these reasons, I could not recommend a GC more highly. **★★★★★ — Anne & Steve Kellner, Nov. 2017** > Girsh Development was a 10 out of 10 for us. We contracted with Mark Girsh to rebuild our home after a fire completely destroyed our original house. Mark was sympathetic, personable and easy to deal with. He educated us through the whole building process, something that was very important to us. > > Mark's number one priority was customer satisfaction; he allowed us to customize the house the whole way through. Mark included his dad, Leonard, in the building of our house and both were very accessible throughout the entire process. They dealt with all construction issues very quickly and openly. They were able to "roll with the punches" that we threw at them or that the construction process threw at them. > > Most importantly, Mark was very transparent throughout the entire process. There were no surprise costs along the way. Mark-ups on change orders were more than fair. > > It is highly evident that Mark Girsh prides himself on building a top quality end product and that is what he did for us. We would use Girsh Development again in a heartbeat to build our home. **Comment from GIRSH DEVELOPMENT INC:** > Thank you Anne and Steve for your amazing review. It was a true pleasure to work with you both. **★★★★★ — Nilanjan Das, Sept. 2016** > We bought a house in Point Breeze, Philadelphia built by Mark and his father/partner Leonard. We are extremely happy with our purchase. They have used the high quality materials and the finishes are very modern and aesthetically pleasing. The house has been thoughtfully designed and every small detail has been paid attention to. Mark and Leonard have been extremely proactive with the few small issues that we wanted fixed. We highly recommend them for any project - big or small. **★★★★★ — Gregory La Vardera Architect, June 2014** > Girsh Development built a contemporary home of my design for a client in southern NJ. This project is on display in their portfolio here on Houzz. They took the non-traditional design in stride, and had no problem rising to the challenge of the work. Girsh was professional throughout the project and brought a solution oriented problem solving motivation to any of the issues encountered. They were good with followup and left my client satisfied. And the quality of the work stands out above his peers. I'd be happy to work with them again. **★★★★★ — lollypops, June 2013** > A year ago , We chose Girsh development Inc to complete building my home from ground up. We had a time constraint to build it within a year, which was a great risk, Girish development completed the project well ahead of time. > > We could not have asked for a better quality of work than this. We are completely happy with the workmanship and the quality of workers that Mark brought in to complete the work. At every stage of the work , Mark consulted with us and was more than glad to do any change request. > > We greatly commend his project execution in a effective way. He will be on top of things until things fell in place. The house that he built for us is elegant and beautiful. > > Overall, we had a great experience working with Mark Girsh and Mr. Leonard. We would strongly recommend them for any home building projects. **★★★★★ — reforfun, June 2013** > It was a pleasure working with Girsh Development. They understood our vision and the project requirements and executed it in the very difficult economic environment of 2011-12. They worked with us to come up with creative solutions to meet my design requirements of modern/minimalist styling. They definitely went way beyond the call of duty to deliver a great end product. **★★★★★ — prem18, June 2013** > I recently worked with Mark & Leonard Girsh ( Girsh Development ) to build my home. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made. > Our relationship led to a wonderful learning process as I was new to construction, an extremely well constructed home and a relationship to last a lifetime. I had purchased homes before but this was my first time building. Mark was a terrific help right away. He saved me from a land deal where my lawyer had dropped the ball. It turns out the developer selling me the land had a creative way of increasing his profit at my expense. Once Mark clearly showed me the pitfalls with the land deal, I voided that deal and decided to look for new land. > Mark put me in contact with a highly reputable local realtor who helped me search for land. This time around, we finalized the land deal. They reviewed prospective land deals with me to help me find one that accommodated all of my family’s needs and the home of our choice. Equally as important, he was able to consider all the required site improvements to make sure that the lot we chose would fit within our budget without taking away what we wanted in the house. We moved from building our family’s home using high quality stick frame construction instead of the prefabricated modular home as we initially planned. > He listened well and was able to help me organize a plan based on my wants and needs. His advice gave me direction that I did not have before. I had already spoken with various bankers, realtors, builders, developers, etc while trying to put my project together. Each of them only understood a small piece of the entire process required to build a home. None of them were able to clearly explain an effective and efficient process for getting things done. He explained patiently the proposals provided by other builders and how he provided value. > Our first attempt to get a loan was rejected, and Mark worked with me to change the plans and work with our financial advisor in getting the second loan attempt approved. > We had various issues created by the seller of the land, and Mark helped me navigate them due to my prior inexperience. > At this time, I need to mention Leonard Girsh, his father, who also oversaw construction. I cannot think of anyone better for the job. He does it as if it is his life’s mission, and he is kind and gets the job done. > I am so very thankful to have found Girsh Development. Since I completed my house, I have recommended close friends and family. I highly recommend their services to you as well. **★★★★ — gradin69, June 2013** > Girsh Development built our custom designed 3,500 s.f. modern home on 3 acres of land we owned. We were very comfortable with the Owner's personality right up front. As a family owned business they have a down to earth personal interest and genuine caring attitude. Our project scope included plans review, budgeting, financing, permitting, construction and punch out. Our experience of working together to manage costs was very important and Mark Girsh was very attentive and willing to do anything possible to help us achieve our project. We did not feel overly burdened by the process in any way thanks to having a clear plan and pricing up front. > > As with any construction project unforeseen things can come up. We did have such an event with some unplanned ground remediation work that was required to properly accomplish engineering. We were treated very fairly and given help by the Girsh's to manage the site and foundation changes with as minimal time and costs as possible. We corrected the issues and moved on from a scenario that without the generous cooperation of our builder, cold have made our project unmanageable. > > The construction timeline, with exception of the delay for the above mentioned site remediation, was carried out as planned. The quality of construction was right on target of our architects design. Being a designer myself, we had very specific desires for details and we were able to execute them with intention. In any cases where adjustments needed to be made or the expected field challenges may arise, we were accommodated fairly. We never had issues with change orders for things as we built, one due to proper planning and second because the Girsh's standard of building is above average. in a number of places they provided upgraded quality of materials at no cost simply by their choice to make sure they built a high quality home. A few examples of this were insulation, roofing and some framing and sealing details. We did have a few items along the way that we wanted to change or upgrade and there was no hesitation to provide these at very reasonable costs. > > Overall our experience was great. Finding a good relationship with a builder, especially for a custom home is not an easy. We were very fortunate to have found Girsh Development so that we could achieve our dream of building a high quality designer home. We are extremely happy with the end result of our endeavor both on design and quality. I certainly recommend Girsh Development as a builder. ## Selected projects - [4,556 Sq Ft.

Out or interest or out of need to build? **Q: HELP! GC changed roof pitch and now causing problems during build** *(in Building a Home)* Our GC suggested an 8/12 roof pitch instead of 10/12 or 12/12 to help save costs. They said it wouldn't really change anything. Now, during the build, it is affecting the second level. They didn't know about these issues until the framer brought it to their attention. Rooms aren't as big because of the slant, have to "clip" doors because the roof is too low, and a bathroom is no longer full height (8ft) but has a slant where part of it is at 6ft. They said it would cost $25,000 to change the pitch at this point since most of the framing is done. Do we have any recourse? A: If you didn't have a real estate attorney review your contract, get one TODAY!!! Also never agree to further changes without a written change order describing everything and providing costs signed by BOTH parties. This is a he said she said moment and you will have to argue or threaten them legally unless they take full responsibility. Let this be a learning lesson to 1) have legal contract representation and someone on your side in these cases and 2) to review any changes in writing. All in all, if what you state is the way it happened (and I am sure they will have their side of the story) then they should either reframe the roof and make things right at no cost to you or give you a super significant discount if you can live with the change that you did not agree to. Attorney attorney attorney and make sure its Real Estate attorney and not someone who has once done a real estate deal. Finally another thought. Document everything between you and your builder in writing and start communicating via email or text or letter so that you have something concrete to point to when you need it. **Q: Builder communication frequency** *(in Building a Home)* When planning a home, how often do you expect an update from your builder? Does this frequency change during the building portion of the project? I would like an update weekly. Is this too much to ask for? A: Jennifer, every client is different as is every builder. I concur with many of the above statements. If the house you are building is custom then communication is much more frequent if you want it to be. I once built a custom house for a super busy client who traveled extensively. She and her husband specified everything with the architect/designer ahead of time, and I mean everything (faucets, flooring, paint colors etc.) and I communicated with them if a challenge arose or a change had to be made or I had a suggested change. Saw them once a month. Overall a very successful project and everyone was happy. This is unusual. Most of my communications are on average 1-2 times per week to discuss selections and changes. Most of my clients either stop by the site to take a look at progress or I send them photos once a week or once every two weeks. There is zero need to talk every day, unless as someone mentioned above there are extremely specific custom features that need extreme monitoring. You want to balance your communication stream without micromanaging. I find that when a client wants daily briefings it makes the process super cumbersome and distracting. The ideal method is to make decisions well ahead of time (those that can be made) and to communicate on a pace that works for both client and builder. I know thats not telling you much, but like I said from the onset, every client and every builder are different. You need to talk to builder and if you mesh then the project will most likely be successful. **Q: Thoughts on custom home building?** *(in Building a Home)* Hey everyone, I've read through quite a few threads at this point, and have recognized and enjoyed the wealth of expertise and experience on display. I wanted to get a general idea from folks on how long and how expensive building a custom home would be. I'm really just flirting with the idea right now. I've never even owned a home before (spent the last 17 years living in major cities in the US building my career). However, now I'm in Missouri and really dislike all of the ranches with atriums for sale. I'm thinking of buying property like this: Property in Augusta, MO And building something like this: https://www.houseplans.com/plan/3047-square-feet-4-bedroom-4-bathroom-3-garage-craftsman-country-40427 or https://www.houseplans.com/plan/2946-square-feet-3-bedroom-3-5-bathroom-2-garage-country-traditional-40497 Something around 3,000 sq ft. Farm house, cottage, craftsman, cabin like. Good views, lighting, and fairly high quality building materials. Anyway, I know it's impossible to predict exact costs and timelines and anything can happen, but I was curious what the best case, average and worst case scenarios would look like. Also, any thoughts on different starting ideas for home plans are gladly welcomed. Thanks, TJ A: Anytime **Q: What’s the worst thing that happened during your house build?** *(in Building a Home)* This is my first post. We have our land but do not have plans yet. I have learned so much from the people on this forum and know that I will continue to gain useful information to help me go forward. Thank you in advance! A: Here is some good, free :), advice of exactly how to avoid many of the above items, and worse, from happening. Get a really good area Real Estate Attorney (not your friend's friend who went to law school) to review your contract before you give one $ in deposit to any builder! I cannot overstate this enough. Many of the issues in these forums would have been avoided if the folks got proper representation and contract review!! Spend the $1000-$2000 its way worth it. Make a list of all your "wants" and "needs" before designing a plan. Make sure you list them in order of importance as you will most likely need to sacrifice some to obtain the others. Nothing is perfect and you will not get 100% of everything you want. Be ready for that. Find a good local architect to design your plans. Make sure you and the architect have some chemistry as this helps in understanding what you want and need (lifestyle, budget, lot constraints, etc.) and your plans will reflect that. Make sure you have not only plans but specifications (at least as many as you can think of, otherwise assign allowances such as kitchen cabinets $10K or $60K, you get the idea). Put the plans and specs. together and bid the project out. Make sure everyone is pricing from the same information or you will not be able to truly compare. Do your due diligence on local builders (should generally not be more than 45 min to 1 hour away from their base of operation). Your architect can help you with \#s2-6 (obviously \#3) above but it will cost you extra. Unless you are very good at design, hire a good interior designer and make a furniture layout on your new plans. This is critical so that you know if your window and door placements work and you will be able to configure your lighting much better that way. Its worth the investment for sure. The more you pre-plan and are prepared the better/smoother your project will go. Good luck with your project. **Q: Building a Custom Home! Give me all the tips/tricks you have to offer!** *(in Building a Home)* We are done with the design process (FINALLY) and are working on all the (not-so-fun) preliminary stuff... I figured in this time I could some extra tips and advice before we plunge head first into the madness! LOL The home is being built in NE Florida. It's a long ranch style, single story. 3 bed, 2 bath with a detached (BIG) workshop garage. Our home will sit on 19 acres of planted timberland. Also, I've seen blog posts that mention getting a 0% interest CC to use for little things we see on sale like fans, lighting, faucets, door knobs, drawer pulls, etc... pay on it while building and use our allowances that were designated for those things for items like appliances or small upgrades ... thoughts? Thanks so much! A: Make sure you have a great Real Estate attorney in case you have disputes with your GC. Make sure your contract was well reviewed and you and your GC are on the same page. On my last project my clients were always super nice to me and my trades, they were wonderful people to begin with, but super pleasant to deal with. What that accomplished is a willingness on my end, as their builder, to go above and beyond my agreement with them. This type of relationship made me care about their well being, made me suggest changes and alternatives that were not considered and I was happy to put in the extra effort. They would also, completely unsolicited, come to the site and bring coffee and bagels or donuts for everyone. This happened on about 8-10 occasions. The atmosphere was just very pleasant. We definitely encountered some challenges, but there was no contention and finger pointing, there was a lets get it done, and done properly approach by both sides. For example, there were windows that were too small for my clients. They did not notice this until we framed the house (windows were already ordered and not returnable) and window openings. We discussed the changes in cost and time to order new windows and my clients agreed to the change (in writing of course) without blaming me or finger pointing at the architect, since they signed off on the original plans. They then found a buyer for the non-returnable windows on ebay and were able to hedge their change. They were super happy they made this change and were never sour, at least not to me. Other times, when clients are not as friendly and are much more demanding and guarded I tend to go by the book. I still don't nickel and dime my clients and still want them to have as good of an experience as possible, but its not the same. When the clients, especially in a custom build when they are around a lot, are nice and cordial it sets up a different atmosphere which yields a better overall project. This of course also depends on your builder's demeanor and attitude. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-03.*
