4G Design Build

I live in Charlotte and found an amazing piece of property on Lake Rhodhiss on 30 acres. One of the things that I loved about the lake and the area is that it had not yet been discovered, but I didn't realize it would be so hard to find a quality builder in the area. I called and emailed builder after builder, most of them never even returned my call. If they did, they told me they had a 2 year back log. I expanded my search area hoping that I could get one of the premier Lake Norman builders to take the job and that's when I was so fortunate to discover 4G Design Build. From the very first communication, I immediately knew that 4G was going to be my builder. Professional. Courteous. Knowledgeable. Trustworthy. Reliable. Great communicators. And just good people! "4G" stands for four generations of builders and this may be a family-run business, but they run like a well-oiled corporation. I was a little bit worried living in Charlotte and the build site being an hour away, but Build 4G uses Basecamp, a project management tool that kept me up to date on all progress, plans, any problems, and all photos along the way. The constant updates let me know they were keeping the project on schedule and under budget. Sam and Denae were there every step of the way and stood by their work at every turn. All builders are not created equal and if you want a high quality builder at a fair price that you can trust, look no further than 4G Design Build!

Having 4G Design create the footprint for our dream home has been the best decision we have ever made! Quality, creativity and commitment to finding reasonable and economical solutions for ALL customers, sets them above the rest. Designers like Kayla are a true pleasure to work with and her ability to think outside the box and make customers dreams a reality lends to the excellent care and customer service $G provides its clients. Honesty and integrity are trademarks of this organization!

We would highly recommend 4G Design Build to anyone looking to build a custom home. From the minute we met Sam and Denae, we had a great feeling about them as people, and felt we could really trust them. We really liked the fact that their company was all inclusive when it came to designing the home and building it. Prior to signing our contract, we visited a few of their job sites and the quality of the craftsmanship and the cleanliness of the job site really highlighted their attention to detail. Throughout the entire process, they kept us updated on the build and worked to help us make really good decisions and to realize our dream home. During the year after we moved in, they resolved any remaining issues and were extremely attentive to make sure everything was as we wanted. We count ourselves lucky to have been able to work with them.

We had a great experience working with the team at 4G. We were doing a long distance build, but from the very first meeting, the team was eager to help us get the house we wanted within the budget we had. We had already purchased a large tract of land when we went to 4G, and Sam did his due diligence walking the land to find the very best spot, eliminating major budget problems down the line. On one of our trips to the area, we were meeting with Denae to make our finish selections. We were traveling with one of our young children, and Denae thoughtfully set him up with a basket of toys while we talked. Our project manager was easy to work with and very communicative, sending near daily updates and photos once the build was underway. He has continued to answer our calls after moving in, and has quickly addressed any problems we've had. Our only struggle was the overall project timeline did not seem well communicated. To be fair, we were building at the height of Covid, which brought a significant amount of supply chain problems and therefore uncertainty, and the 4G team had many balls in the air, but we would have liked to know what was upcoming and how long each phase would likely take. Because of the wonderful team at 4G, we are living in our beautiful, well-constructed, dream home. We do not hesitate to recomend them to anyone in the process of building a home.

We used 4G to create our floor plans for us. We worked with Kayla and had a great experience! She listened to all the things we were looking for in a home and created a plan that exactly fit our needs. We couldn’t be more happy with how the final plan turned out and are excited to start the build. Highly recommend using 4G!

If you’re looking for a top-notch builder, we highly recommend 4G Design Build. We actually built our house from out-of-state which seems like a logistical nightmare, but we honestly had such confidence in Sam and his staff from day one. The communication through their Basecamp emails included updates and pictures of every phase of the build so we always felt like we were in the loop. Kayla took our design ideas and even with some last minute major curveballs thrown at her, designed a house that perfectly reflected our wishes. Denae made selecting our finishes so easy at 4G’s beautiful showroom. Our project manager, Nick, was great to work with as well. He kept the build on track even when presented with some out-of-the-norm challenges. I honestly can’t say enough about how much we appreciated the honesty, integrity and work ethic of the entire 4G team. And as for the house, it surpassed our expectations in every way. I just can’t believe how lucky I am to live in such a beautiful and well-constructed home.

Very good company, service Job get done right way

My Wife and I worked with 4G to design and build our home and we couldn’t be more pleased with how it turned out. Some friends of ours had built with 4G previously, so when we decided to build, we reached out to Sam & Denae and they walked us through every step of the process. Sam even came with us to look at different lots so he could help us determine if they would be a good fit for our build. Once we found our lot, Sam & Denae worked closely with us to design the perfect house to fit our family’s needs. They helped us choose features & finishes that look great and fit within our budget. Even in the midst of Covid supply chain issues, they did their best to source materials and keep our project on time. When issues arose (as they always do with a new build) they always communicated with us and explained our options. They made the design process fun and the building process less stressful through their hard work and communication. We are thrilled with our new home and would recommend 4G to anyone looking to build a custom home.

We recently worked with 4G to design our house near Lake Norman. We are novices at building a home and Sam, Denae and Kayla did a great job at navigating us through the process. In particular, Denae and Kayla took our initial inspiration and patiently incorporated our modifications and revisions through several iterations to give us exactly the layout and floor plan that we were looking for. Denae then guided us through all of the detailed selections, providing extremely beneficial advice and suggestions along the way. We can't wait to see our dream become a reality!

Building a new home is never easy, but 4G Build Design goes out of their way to make the process both easy, and enjoyable. I remember a few years ago when I was researching custom home builders. After much research, I called and sent out emails to approx. six different custom builders in the Lake Norman area. Much to my surprise, Sam was the ONLY ONE who actually replied!! I still find this unbelievable, but I guess in this day and age, "it is, what it is"? From the time we met Sam & Denae, Judy and I felt we found a builder with the utmost integrity, honesty, and a commitment to make our dreams come true. In other words, just "good folks". From architectural design (Justin nailed it!!), to lot selection, pricing, tracking the build process through Base Camp, and everything in between, 4G made the process as easy as it can be when building a new home. Did we have any problems? Of course we did, and our lot was very challenging to build on. But Sam and the 4G crew always turned a negative into a positive, was always very understanding, and fair with any changes or costs associated with it. Ultimately, we ended up with a well built, beautiful custom home that we love. The folks at 4G are wonderful people, great builders, and very professional with everything they do. We'd recommend 4G Build Design to anyone who asked, and we have. Thank you 4G for our beautiful home!!

We’re so happy with our new 4G home and highly recommend them to others thinking of having a custom home built! We worked with Sam and Denae through designs, modifications, color choices, cabinetry, even details like window grids in the glass, the many grout colors, etc, etc! And they made the process so we weren’t overwhelmed. What a nice experience and 4G provided exactly what we wanted. When we thought the home design was great already, Denae made even better suggestions, e.g., bumping in the fireplace/chimney a foot to accent it from the wall and accenting it even further with a couple shades darker paint and wrap around mantle! It looks awesome! 4G worked with us through a tough pandemic period and still provided upbeat and timely build progress which also gave us tremendous flexibility to plan our out-of-state travels to come see the home at any and all stages if we chose to. We received photos of work completed and calls when they had questions of designs and installations while subcontractors were there making the installations! E.g., asking ‘where exactly would we like plumbing pipes’ and with covid-related appliance delays asking us ‘are we ok with the delay or would we like another model?’. We don’t know of other builders that work so closely with the homebuyer and provide such excellent choices and with such pleasant tone. Each time we visited the home progress we were happily amazed at the workmanship and surprised at the terrific 4G design touches. They are truly a custom home builder that cares about the homebuyer and we’re so happy with our new home!

4G Design Build is the BEST custom builder in the area! The entire process from our initial meeting with the vision of what we wanted in our forever home, to planning, making finish decisions, all the way to moving in was almost seamless. We highly recommend them to anyone who wants a true custom home build with a company that has integrity and true passion for what they do. From the first meeting with Sam and Denae (the owners) we had no doubt that they would do the right thing to make our dream a reality. The entire 4G team were amazing throughout the entire process and we felt like they were almost our family. The communication with everyone through Base Camp reassured us that everyone was on the same page and informed every step of the way. We love our home, and the quality of every detail and was done along the way was top notch. 4G surpassed all of our expectations and we recommend them to anyone who is even considering building a custom home! Thank you so much 4G! Brian and Marilyn Cunningham
