The Long View Difference

Long View Custom Homes is owned and operated by Chad and Renee Holloway, bringing deep roots in residential construction to every project. Chad has been working in residential construction since 1996, starting during his high school and college summers before becoming a "Build On Your Own Lot" contractor from 2003 to 2021. During this time, Chad advanced from superintendent to General Manager, gaining invaluable experience in custom and semi-custom home building.

In 2022, Chad and Renee established Long View Custom Homes, naming it after the Holloway dairy farm once owned by Chad's grandfather. With Renee's background as the daughter of a custom home builder in the Lake Norman area, the transition to starting their own residential construction business was a natural progression of their combined expertise and passion.

What truly sets Long View Custom Homes apart is our foundation in Biblical principles of honesty, integrity, and respect. These values guide every interaction with our clients and every decision made throughout the building process. When you choose to build your custom home with us, you're not just getting a contractor – you're gaining a partner who treats your dream home as if it were our own.

Our Build On Your Land Process

Building on your land requires specialized knowledge and experience. Our comprehensive process ensures that your land's unique characteristics are leveraged while addressing any challenges effectively:

Step 1: Initial Interview

During our first meeting, we'll discuss your vision, needs, and budget. If you already have a lot and plans, you're ahead of the game. If you need assistance selecting a home plan, we can guide you toward online resources or recommend an architect. We can also refer you to trusted lenders if you need financing assistance.

Step 2: Site Visit and Analysis

Once you've selected your plan and lot, we'll conduct a thorough site analysis to determine optimal home positioning, tree clearing requirements, and other site-specific considerations. We'll help stake out the house to obtain necessary permits and review any covenants or restrictions that may apply to your land.

Step 3: Permits and Approvals

We'll assist with obtaining septic permits (if required) and any necessary HOA approvals. Our team can handle permit applications, dealing with surveyors, and soil scientists if needed.

Step 4: Preliminary Budget Development

Our transparent cost-plus model begins with establishing a detailed budget based on your architectural plans and design choices. We'll obtain bids from subcontractors and provide a comprehensive line-by-line breakdown so you can see exactly where your investment is going.

Step 5: Contract and Deposit

After reviewing and agreeing upon the estimate, we'll proceed with signing an agreement. A 10% deposit is required to begin the construction process, which will be credited to your final invoice.

Step 6: Pre-Construction Meeting and Permitting

We'll review plans in greater detail, discussing specifics like HVAC placement, water heater locations, and other important elements. At this stage, we'll apply for all necessary building permits.

Step 7: Construction and Selections

From site preparation and foundation work through framing, mechanical rough-ins, drywall, trim, and finals, our team will guide you through each phase of construction. Our detailed "Selection Sheets" will help you choose everything from foundation brick and shingle color to carpet and tile selections, making the process organized and enjoyable.

Step 8: Final Walk-Through and Closing

Upon completion, we'll conduct a thorough walk-through to ensure your complete satisfaction and familiarize you with your new home's systems. At closing, you'll receive information to help maintain your home, including contact details for all suppliers and tradespeople involved in creating your custom home.

• Complete Transparency: You'll see exactly what you're paying for at every stage of construction.
• Flexibility: The model allows for changes and adjustments throughout the building process.
• Quality Control: Since there's no incentive to cut corners on materials, quality remains the top priority.
• Value Optimization: Your budget goes directly toward the home itself rather than inflated estimates.
• Collaboration: The cost-plus approach fosters a collaborative relationship between builder and homeowner.

This transparent approach aligns perfectly with our core values of honesty and integrity, ensuring you receive the highest possible value when building your custom home on your land.

Hear From Our Clients

The relationships we build with our clients are just as important as the homes we construct. Here's what some of our clients have to say about their experience building with Long View Custom Homes:

Todd and Vick Mills: "In November 2017, Chad of CK Holloway Construction started our house. Before the build, Chad gave us a very detailed quote after several meetings with him and going over exactly what we were looking for in our build. Our house started on time and moved through the building process efficiently. Our house finished in July of 2018, actually earlier than the agreed-upon completion date. During the build, Chad always kept us informed of what was to be expected next and discussed our options to save money and improve our build. Chad was very knowledgeable and helpful and was always there to answer any questions we had. My wife and I are very thankful for having Chad build our home."

King Mawhinney: "Chad Holloway partnered with me to build my most recent home. This was my third experience building a home and it was absolutely the best. Chad knows his business, is both personable and professional, and all of his suppliers were able to meet my needs in one short visit. Chad helped me balance my budget with my desire for quality. He visited the site regularly, checking on his subs, and kept me abreast in a timely manner. I recommend him wholeheartedly - I trust this man."

Jeff and Sarah Jackson: "Chad was the general contractor for our home that we had built in 2019-2020. He is very knowledgeable with his work and easy to approach with questions or concerns. The pandemic did not affect his work ethics or his ability to communicate about changes and/or delays. We would definitely use Chad again if we were to do a new build or a home addition."
