About Us

THE PARAGON STORY

Founded in 1995 by an award winning architect, Paragon Custom Construction is known as a builder of some of the finest homes in the Grand Strand area.

Because of its unique relationship with SGA | NarmourWright Design Goggans Residential Architecture, along with other leading residential architects in South Carolina, Paragon has the ability to seamlessly merge the design process with construction to enhance quality, achieve simplicity, and assure accountability. Paragon’s building services are managed by a craftsman/builder with more than 40 years of experience, who combines old world craftsmanship with an efficient and cost effective approach to building in the Lowcountry. Our understanding of design and building bring together unique expertise in process, and an ability to deliver homes of beauty, durability and timelessness.
