The plan It starts as a plan, set out on your lot before a shovel hits the ground.
Welcome home.
Your land, your plan, built from the footings up by the owner himself.
The mission
Quality new construction, custom ADUs and thoughtfully designed additions — built right the first time.
Every scale
Big or small, you get the same care: a plan on paper first, a written price line by line, and the owner on site until it is done. A few samples from the range, side by side at true scale.
Samples from the range · drawn at one scale · 320 to 5,656 sq ft
Drawn first
Before anything is built, every house is drawn to the inch: the plans, the elevations, every material. Slide from the drawing to the finished home at dusk, and see exactly what you are getting.
What we build
New homes, guest houses and additions, plus kitchens and outdoor living. Whatever the size of the job, it is planned, priced and built to the same standard.

Our promises
Eight promises that come with every job we take on, from a patio to a new house. They are written into how we work, not just onto this page.
The foundation, shell, trades and finishes shown separately, written to be compared with anyone else’s, line by line.
Each change gets a written price and its effect on the schedule before any work starts. Nothing is added to your bill without your say-so.
If we find a problem on site, we stop, show you, and price the options the same way.
The contract ties payments to stages of the build, so you are not paying far ahead of what has been built.
Nick prices the job himself and runs it on site. You have his number from the first visit to the final walkthrough.
Inspections at each stage where the county or city requires them, with the time for them in the schedule.
Plans are drawn for the permit, and every model on this site is drawn to real dimensions before it is rendered.
The final inspection, then a walkthrough of the finished work with you.
How a house gets built
Nick’s background runs across residential and commercial construction, and every NGA house is built in the same order: each stage finished and checked before the next one starts.
We walk the lot with you, stake the corners and settle every room on paper before a shovel touches the ground.
NGA design · DrawingFootings below the frost line, a block crawlspace, piers and girders, all checked level and square. Everything after rests on it.
NGA design · DrawingThe rooms take shape: walls framed 16 inches on center, a header over every door and window. You can walk your floor plan.
NGA design · DrawingTrusses up, sheathing on, the roof dried in before anything that minds the weather goes inside.

Nick was professional, communicative and incredibly detail-oriented.
I couldn't be happier with my screened-in porch! From start to finish, the entire experience was exceptional. Nick was professional, communicative and incredibly detail-oriented. He and his team took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and delivered beyond my expectations. The craftsmanship is outstanding! The space is not only beautiful but has completely transformed how my home is enjoyed. If you're looking for a builder who truly takes pride in their work and delivers high-quality results, i cannot recommend them enough!
Nick and his crew did a wonderful job remodeling our entire house: kitchen, several bathrooms, adding a window, building a deck, painting inside and outside, plumbing, electrical, etc., etc., whatever we asked. Where we lacked inspiration, he made great, creative suggestions, though he never pressured us to do any of them. Where we had ideas of what we wanted, he worked hard to bring them to realization. His prices were reasonable and the quality of his work high. He communicates wonderfully, explaining options and helping us make good decisions. He also stands by his work. The few times when we had quibbles with his work, he came back and fixed things until we were satisfied. And he did everything with a positive attitude, making it a joy to work with him. We couldn't have asked for more. Five stars.
These guys are awesome! I had hurricane damage to my house and it's been over a year, but they gave me a great quote and came and repaired my house, did a fantastic job.
Nick and his crew did a wonderful job adding a covered porch to the house. Professional, mess free, and quickly done. Now we can sit outside and enjoy our porch. Thank you
Where we build
Local builders, a short drive from your lot. We work in 11 towns across Spartanburg, Greenville and Cherokee Counties, and we know each one's permit office and what it takes to build there.
