The History

Since founding Structures in 1999, Steven Kendrick’s mission has been to build custom homes of unmatched quality and craftsmanship and to deliver a level of customer service and integrity that would redefine the industry. Over two decades later, our core values haven’t changed: a relentless attention to detail, a passion for serving clients, and an unwavering commitment to quality. In 2022, Structures joined Alair Homes, a network of professional custom home builders, to bring enhanced services to its clients, training and growth opportunity to its employees and efficient systems to its back office. All while maintaining the same ownership and individuality that has earned Structures, now Structures | Alair, their success. Today you’ll find Structures | Alair's award-winning homes all over the low country: overlooking the beaches and harbors, along the golf courses and marshes, and nestled among the Charleston area’s most iconic neighborhood streetscapes. Sullivan’s Island, Isle of Palms, the Old Village and I'On in Mount Pleasant, Daniel Island, James Island, and Johns Island are just some of many places where satisfied Structures | Alair homeowners reside.

It is not hyperbole when I say that Structures is far and away the finest group of people you would ever want to work with on a building project. Steve Kendrick has a superb, dedicated team who are focused on your home being exactly right. From the start, all information was presented clearly and accurately; pricing was transparent. Each person at Structures is committed to getting the details right and making the final product what you want and of the highest quality. We have been in our beautiful home two years and Structures is always available to us and I am confident they will be there with us forever.

Your team has been the most organized, professional, and enjoyable team to work with in my 14 years of owning my company… I strongly believe that leadership and company culture /ethos comes from the top and you certainly lead by example and it shines through to every detail and every sub that you have on the project… It has been a true pleasure to work with the Structures team.

-Charleston Interior Designer

We have worked with Structures on numerous projects over the years and would recommend them as some of the best builders money can by. The careful attention to detail and the thoughtfulness involved along the way make them a wonderful partner on any project. We always enjoy how smoothly things move through the process due to their impeccable ability to communicate through any and all issues in the builder, architect, and client triangle. They are a wonderful company to work alongside of and are full of great people you will enjoy building your dream home with.

We believe strong communication is the key to strong relationships, and our customers tell us again and again that feeling connected from start to finish is what makes the Structures | Alair homebuilding experience so rewarding.

Devotion to craftsmanship and creativity is another hallmark of the Structures | Alair difference. Our long-standing partnerships with the area’s finest architects ensure successful design/build collaborations, while our talented team of on-staff designers confidently guide you through the selection process. The project managers assigned to oversee the building of your home are detail-oriented individuals who value the creative process and respect the intent of each architect’s design.

With over twenty-five years in the homebuilding industry, Structures | Alair has a proven track record. We are active and well-respected in our community and we’ve worked hard to cultivate lasting relationships with trade contractors, architects, and designers. This hard work has paid off in many ways: we’ve twice been named GuildQuality’s Builder of the Year and won the Prism Award for Customer Service six times. But more valuable than the awards themselves is the feedback we get from our clients. Through survey results and testimonials, they tell us that strong client relationships, unmatched customer service, and a high quality, well-crafted home is truly the Structures | Alair difference.
