Most homeowners who have built a custom home will probably mention how stressful the experience was. There are, after all, a lot of things that can go sideways: ballooning budgets, delayed deliveries, moving timelines. But when a home builder like Westwood custom homes has their team dialed in, their process defined, their standards high, and their priorities service-oriented, the process can be seamless and the product unmatched.
At Westwood, the leadership team — Myles Gordon, Chris Rich, and Brian Fanning — have built over 200 homes in the Charlotte area. As a result, they have the experience and knowledge needed to provide this level of quality to their clients.
The Westwood Custom Homes Signature
Gordon started Westwood in 2007. In those early years, he built a handful of homes in the Plaza Midwood neighborhood. Soon, Westwood expanded and, though it remained focused on the Charlotte area, took on all sorts of custom build projects. As the team continued to grow and the projects became increasingly complex, Westwood remained committed to one core tenet of the business: making the process as easy to navigate for clients as possible.
“Our team-focused approach keeps the process organized, simple, and professional. It’s everything from searching for a lot to designing and then closing on the house of your dreams,” explains Sarah Craver, Operations Manager at Westwood. “There’s someone to walk you through every step, making the process straightforward and easy.” The team pairs this approach with a dedication to communicate clearly and listen carefully. Plus, they leverage an online system where clients can track the status of their projects. The effect is an uncommon ability to make the complex feel simple, which is an invaluable advantage in the home building industry.
Trust is another signature element at Westwood. Among its internal team members, as well as with external partners like vendors, designers, and clients, Wildwood cultivates trust . They do so by meeting deadlines, delivering outstanding work, and exceeding expectations. They seek the same standards among their associates, as they pursue not only a seamless process but also the highest quality homes.
From Plaza Midwood to Pellyn Wood
One particular project where every element of the build process aligned — and a Westwood favorite — was a custom home in the Pellyn Wood area. The client pursued a design filled with unexpected details. For example, the home features two living roofs. Living roofs, also known as green roofs, offer a number of environmental and economic benefits. However, they require careful structural reinforcement given the added weight, which presents a fun puzzle for builders. The architect, at the client’s request, found additional opportunities for originality in the home’s shape, layout, and features, which Westwood then brought to life.
The build was engaging from start to finish. Moreover, it produced a tasteful home of superior quality. So, it’s no wonder this project sits near the top of Westwood’s portfolio. It was also quintessentially Westwood, marked by the efficiency, professionalism, and teamwork that is the bedrock of all their builds.
