UPSTATE SC & WESTERN NC
Welcome,
Welcome to Dillard-Jones Builders
Thank you for considering Dillard-Jones Builders for your custom home in the Carolinas. For more than two decades, our firm has built highly customized residences for clients who value a proven track record of uncompromising quality.
Many of our clients build from afar while managing complex personal and professional schedules. They require transparency, superior quality, consistent communication, and a level of service that removes uncertainty from the building experience. Our work is focused on delivering exceptional homes with the certainty required to build confidently—regardless of distance.
Dillard-Jones Builders was founded by an engineer with a simple conviction: exceptional homes are the product of disciplined process, early problem-solving, and sustained accountability. That mindset continues to define how we operate today. As a family-led firm, we remain personally involved in each project while leading a tightly aligned group of architectural, interior design, and construction professionals who collaborate from the very beginning.
Our approach—All-Inclusive by Design—is structured to eliminate uncertainty before it reaches the jobsite. Unlike traditional models where design, pricing, and construction are fragmented and sequential, our process resolves scope, specifications, team alignment, and cost drivers in advance of any binding commitment. By solving problems early and guiding each home through every phase with a consistent core team, we deliver projects that are calm in execution, exacting in detail, and enduring in performance.
Thank you, Tom

Most of our clients arrive to a fully furnished, move-in ready home, with our team continuing to support the property long after completion. Your Dillard-Jones home is designed, built, and maintained with the same precisionandattentionasifitwereourown.
“We started the process of building our home with DJB about a year and a half ago. It has been a pleasure to work with them throughout the entire process. They provide all the services you need to build a home, from in-house architects to interior designers to decor. We have been in many DJB homes, and the quality of the construction and finishes stands out. They also stand behind their product, even many years down the road. We can't wait to move-in!”

“We chose Dillard-Jones Builders to build our dream home. We are in the early stages of the build, and so far our experience has been great. The design process went smoothly with great communication and responsiveness. They have a well-defined build process and timeline which I appreciate. They are well accustomed to building for people who are not local, and really make an attempt to keep the lines of communication open. Our home is far from finished but I have every confidence they will build us a high-quality, beautiful home.”
