About Us
It all started with Lincoln Logs, wooden go-carts, collecting discarded materials & building the coolest forts in the neighborhood. Moving forward, Tim studied Construction Management & Technology in college, worked with a prominent OC custom home builder and then established TM Grady Builders in his late twenties.
In the early days of construction, Tim & his crew took on the wood framing & finish carpentry trades for each home. He absolutely loved studying the house plan, preparing detailed material lists & assembling the structure. Standing in the street & staring back at the completed home, something that came to life from a few sheets of paper, was pure satisfaction for Tim - just like a finished fort as a kid.
For Tim, planning, preparation, and a smooth process are key to a successful build. His talented team shares his vision, focusing on a refined, professional homebuilding experience tailored to each client. The team values excellence, clear communication, and continual learning, staying up-to-date on building science and best practices.
Monthly meetings with top custom builders nationwide help TM Grady sharpen skills and improve customer relations.
TM Grady’s success rests on clear project goals, strong financial controls, reliable construction management, excellent trade partnerships, and the best warranties and maintenance solutions. Building a quality custom home requires a dedicated, skilled team aligned with each client’s goals.
