Proud to be part of the Bluffs Featured Builders Group! This Featured Builders Group has a keen attention to every detail and distinguished reputations, with past and present clients alike, as we are helping to shape a community unlike any other.

Being a part of this prestigious group means that we live up to rigorous standards that are determined through a rigorous, 5-point review process - so that St. James can recommend us and take the guess work out of selecting your home builder.

At Brunswick Forest, they not only take special care to protect the integrity of the land, they also make certain that the homes are designed and built to exceed homebuyer's expectations. The Brunswick Forest Builder Team is a carefully selected group of homebuilders who adhere to Brunswick Forest’s architectural and design standards.

The craftsmanship that goes into a Compass Pointe home is planned right down to the smallest detail. Their specially selected builders are experts in their fields, and proud to say that they’ve built some of the Cape Fear area’s finest homes. They know what it takes to construct the perfect Coastal Carolina home, so dream big!

A great community needs great builders – and we check both boxes. We hand-selected our builder partners based on their years of experience, quality of construction, and the stylish variety they bring to Sunset Reach. 

Kent Homes has partnered with the National Association Of Home Builders in our continued effort to strengthen our organization so that we can continue to provide an experience that goes beyond our customers expectations. The NAHB supports its members by providing resources that help builders continually improve their practices and products.

CBUSA is made up of over 250 builders in 13 cities leveraging 3000 home starts and $1.98B in material and labor spending annually. Together CBUSA members gain significant purchasing advantage in partnership with more than 700 suppliers. These savings are then passed to prospective home buyers. CBUSA was started in 2004 by builders, for builders as a way to band together to save money and garner better services to enhance their offerings to potential clients. 

The SMA Builders Group program is designed to form groups of builders (up to 10-12 companies) from non-competing markets with similar business models and near term goals to better serve their market. Group members share common information on problems, success strategies and create a synergy that would take an individual company much longer to cultivate. Members become more systems oriented (the SMA specialty), and develop a more efficient approach to product development, sales and purchasing.
