About Us

THE PARAGON STORY

Founded in 1995 by an award‑winning architect, Paragon Custom Construction has earned a reputation for building some of the Grand Strand’s most exceptional homes.

Thanks to its close partnership with Goggans Architecture & Interiors, and collaborations with leading architects across South Carolina, Paragon offers a seamless, highly curated design‑build experience. This integrated approach elevates quality, ensures clarity at every step, and brings an unmatched level of precision to the creation of each custom home. The result is a process that feels aligned, efficient, and accountable, with every detail intentionally connected from concept to completion.

Paragon’s construction services are led by a seasoned builder with more than four decades of experience, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern, cost‑effective building practices tailored to the Lowcountry. With a deep understanding of both design and construction, Paragon unites the expertise required to create homes that are beautifully built, structurally refined, and timeless in character.

This commitment to craftmanship and intention defines the Paragon homebuilding experience, where every detail reflects an unwavering dedication to excellence.
