Daniel Island

Situated between the Cooper and Wando rivers is Daniel Island, a master-planned community that’s both connected to downtown Charleston while equally peaceful, with parks, trails, restaurants, shops, and wildlife.

As one of Daniel Island’s first builders, our award-winning custom homes have taken on a range of design styles and personalities across many areas of the island, from golf course lots to marsh-view retreats. Bring your vision and we’ll take it from there, from site evaluation through interior design in one of the best places to live in the Charleston area.

Our award-winning process for custom homes and remodels

As a premier custom home builder on Daniel Island, we craft custom homes on Daniel Island that range from elegant marshfront estates to contemporary family residences. Our decades of local experience and high standards of quality lead to a beautiful finished product, but it’s our team and process that differentiate us. Our approach, rooted in transparency, accountability, and expert attention to detail is centered around you, your goals, and bringing your vision to life on Daniel Island or wherever you choose to build in Charleston.

We begin with an initial consultation to understand your goals, style, and budget.

We assess site options, leveraging our expertise in Daniel Island’s zoning, HOA rules, and coastal conditions to ensure feasibility. Next, our concept design phase creates preliminary plans and a detailed budget, covering site prep, materials, and permits, with real-time updates via Alair’s Client Control system.
During design development, we refine floorplans, elevations, and material selections, collaborating with our own design team, or partnering with yours, to select finishes like custom millwork or coastal-inspired textures. Our final budget uses a cost-plus model, providing full transparency with online access to all quotes. In the build phase, your dedicated project manager oversees every detail, from foundation to finishing touches, with weekly reports and progress photos.
At the finish line, our turn-key delivery ensures your home is move-in ready, complete with warranties and a maintenance guide, specifically geared to your Daniel Island home.
For home remodels on Daniel Island, we apply the same rigorous process, transforming spaces like kitchens or master suites with sustainable materials and smart systems, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum value.

Your staff is very dedicated and professional, you should be proud of the team you have put together. . . We truly appreciate the efforts of your entire staff. We have recommended and will continue to recommend your company. We wish you many years of successful building.”

I just want to reiterate that Amy and I have been absolutely thrilled with you and your team throughout the entire process. We heard so many nightmares about building a home, that we braced for the worst. However, the whole project has moved without any glitches and you’ve all been wonderful to work with. The house is superb and we’ll enjoy living there for a long time. . . and then you can build our next house when Amy’s ready to upsize.”

- Michael Hyatt – Homeowner, Daniel Island Park

They were the greatest team I’ve ever worked with! They are a bunch of unbelievably professional and excellent group of people who care. We have done a lot of construction, and it is hard to find a company that cares the way that they do. They have done an incredible job!”

- Gregg and Ann Behrens

We are extremely pleased with the professionalism of the Structures’ team. Our design had many complicated details that were solved without the associated stress that normally accompanies an architecturally challenging project. They respected our tight budget demands and worked with their subs to get every detail right. Structures’ dedicated staff built a wonderful home for us. We would highly recommend them.”

- Steve and Carol Degnen, I’On

Structures came highly recommended, so we expected a high level of service and quality. That taken into consideration, Structures has exceeded our expectations on all levels. It’s a pleasure working with each member of the team assigned to our project. You can sense their personal interest and commitment to us and to making our home a success.”

- Steve and Carol Degnen, I’On

Structures Building Company exceeded our expectations and my being an Architectural Designer with 25 years of experience made that considerably more difficult.”

- Christopher Caponigro – Homeowner, Daniel Island Park

This has been an outstanding venture. The staff and subs have all exceeded our expectations. Being in real estate, we somewhat expected some ups and downs in the construction process. We were pleasantly surprised. The entire staff has proven that customer service and quality care go a long way. We have both commented on many occasions that after only living in our home a few weeks we would absolutely buy another home from Structures. Steve K. and the entire Structures family have continued to go above and beyond to make sure we are satisfied. It is a pleasure to do business with such a professional group. We are more than happy with our choice of builders and we feel that as our needs grow, we will continue to be a part of the Structures family. Thank you.”
