Dear Jim, Thanks doesn't seem enough for my beautiful house! What a great Valentine's present. Everything has turned out so well and the house already seems so comfortable to live in. The craftsmanship and attention to detail that you insist on shows in every "nook and cranny." Buchanan Construction is pleased to present the first of 17 creek side homes at the heart of the Creek Harbour development.

We've had experience with home builders. This is the 5th home we have built. What sets Buchanan apart from other home builders is their commitment to the client when things go wrong. We had things go "wrong." No fault of the builder. However Rick and his team went above and beyond to make sure we had a well built quality home. The quality workmanship and commitment to doing it right the first time was evident. A lot of companies can build a nice home. It's what they do in the process and after move-in that really shows good integrity. We found just that with Buchanan Construction.

Buchanan Construction built our house in Kenmure, Flat Rock. They are an extremely professional company with very high standards. Our house was completed on time, and we were very pleased with the standard of workmanship. Thomas Hendrix was our construction manager, and we can not say enough good things about him. He built our house with all the care and attention to detail that he would have used if he were building his own home. Lindsey Kehres, an interior decorator employed by Buchanan, helped us make all the hundreds of decisions involved in building a house. Her expertise was invaluable, and

We had a very good experience building our new home with Buchanan Construction. The finished result exceeded our expectations. Everyone at Buchanan was great to work with and special thanks to Clay and Madison for all their efforts in ensuring our home turned out exactly as we wanted. Throughout the process, the Buchanan team really listened and delivered on our vision for the house even when that meant making changes as we went along. They were also very responsive in quickly resolving any of our punch list items after we moved in. We're really happy with our new home and would definitely recommend

We initially met Rick at a Tour of Homes event in The Ramble, when we were considering purchasing a lot and building. We had just started thinking about it and the process seemed like it might be hard and intimidating. But, meeting Rick was the best thing that could have happened. We were impressed with the Tour home he built, and we liked a lot of the design features- things that we were really looking for. Our favorite was the "football porch" and the kitchen. Rick gave us some reassuring advice, he even gave us some great tips on which lot to purchase based on the things we wanted (i.e. no basement

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
Buchanan built our home, and later provided remodeling when a huge tree fell on our home. They were outstanding in both instances and resolved any problems quickly and to our satisfaction. We strongly recommend them.

We had a very good experience with Rick Buchanan and his staff. They built our dream home and made the process enjoyable. They were very professional and always kept us in the loop. They are knowledgeable about construction and care about quality and attention to detail. They were responsive to our calls and questions and genuinely nice people to work with. I spoke with several different contractors in the early stages and the minute I got off the phone with Rick, I knew I had found my builder. Many thanks to Rick, Jason and Clay for making our dream house a reality!

We had our home built by Buchanan Construction and were extremely pleased with the entire process from start to finish. Their designers listened to our ideas regarding floor plan and styles and worked with us until we came up with just the right plan to meet our needs and budget. This saved us thousands of dollars as opposed to working with a separate architect from the beginning. Our Construction Supervisor, Steven George was always available to us and went out of his way to accommodate any changes. Our home is superbly built and very comfortable. The in-house designer, Madison McGraw, spent numerous

We loved working with the talented staff at Buchanan Construction. Turning a set of blueprints into a finished product requires adaptation and modifications that may not be expected by the average homeowner. This is where the expertise and vision of this company’s personnel helped turn a schematic into our lovely home.
