Obsidian Homes was established with a clear mission: to refocus the residential homebuilding industry on the core principles that truly matter—Affordability, Craftsmanship, Honesty, and Quality. We believe that these four pillars should be the foundation of every home, rather than simply prioritizing profits.

The art and science of designing homes is a craft that I have acquired in my 20 years as an architect. I have designed homes and commercial buildings in four states. In the past year, I have built my business in Sylva, North Carolina. I have a small staff of 2 who help me with the day-to-day of the business. I dedicate myself to doing all the architectural work, coordinating other disciplines, and providing full-time attention to your project. I have managed the design and construction of mansions and I have also done remodels for family members where I know how expensive a building can be without a plan.

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

A carriage house is a freestanding building, while a townhouse is connected to other units. A townhouse is a full single-family home and typically shares a parcel of land with other connected homes. A carriage house is rarely used as the sole single-family home on a property and is most often an additional building sharing property with a traditional single-family home. 

How long it takes to build a custom home or rebuild a home after a disaster varies depending on many factors, but averages between seven and 14 months. Smaller homes or homes that don’t need a re-poured foundation may take less time to build than larger homes or homes without an existing foundation. Material availability, contractor schedules, and permit and inspection timelines can all affect how long your house takes to build.

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.

There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.

Builder-grade is one of two types of stock cabinets, whereas semi-custom designs allow homeowners some control over the color, finish, or hardware on their cabinets. Stock cabinets are sold in construction-grade and builder-grade designs. Construction-grade cabinets are usually made from inexpensive medium-density fiberboard, which is prone to moisture damage, whereas builder-grade models are a step up with higher-quality materials. Construction-grade designs are the most common type of cabinets in America.
