Choosing a remodeling contractor means choosing the people who will spend months working in and around your home, helping make decisions that affect your budget and solving problems when there's a surprise behind the walls.
That relationship matters. For 7Acre Construction, it starts with a straightforward approach: understand what the homeowner wants, be realistic about what can be accomplished, and set expectations before construction begins. It's how we've ranked in the top five nationally for customer service and first in quality. Read on to find out how we achieved that status and why homeowners keep coming back for future projects.
In this blog, we look at why Charlotte homeowners choose 7Acre Construction, including decades of construction experience, a straightforward approach, a smooth design-build process, an emphasis on open communication, and a focus on your experience.
Brian Macuga has worked in construction since the early 1990s, and his experience goes well beyond one type of project or one role.
Over the course of his career, he’s worked across:
That range matters because every home and every project is a little different. You’re working with an existing structure, and sometimes you don’t know exactly what you’ll find until work is underway.
Brian’s experience shapes how we approach those moments. When an unexpected issue comes up, the goal is to understand what’s happening, talk through the options, and figure out the best way forward.
A remodeling or custom home conversation shouldn’t feel like a sales pitch. At 7Acre Construction, the goal is to understand what you want to accomplish, answer your questions, and give you a clear sense of what may or may not make sense financially.
That means being willing to talk honestly about:
Sometimes the most useful answer isn’t the one that leads to more work. Brian describes his approach as straightforward, knowledgeable, and calm, with an emphasis on giving homeowners useful information without putting pressure on them to move forward.
You don’t need to show up with finished plans or even know exactly how your project should come together. You can start with what you want to build and a rough idea of your ideal budget.
From there, our design-build process follows this sequence:
The advantage is that design and construction considerations develop together. Instead of designing the entire project first and figuring out how to build it later, the scope, design, and investment can be considered alongside one another from the beginning.
A remodel isn’t happening in an empty building. It’s happening in the place where your family lives, gathers, and spends a big part of everyday life. And a custom home isn't happening on a ready-to-go plot of land.
That’s something we keep in mind throughout the project. Their approach is built around understanding how homeowners actually want to live in their homes and what the land needs to be completely ready to take on a custom home.
For families, that might mean thinking through:
Long before starting 7Acre Construction, Brian Macuga learned that building a good home and taking care of the people who live in it go hand in hand.
While serving as Vice President of Construction for a national home builder, Brian led teams responsible for building and servicing more than 3,700 homes. During that five-and-a-half-year period:
That experience still influences how Brian approaches the work today. Quality matters, but so does the homeowner’s experience along the way.
Finishing construction isn’t quite the same thing as finishing the project. 7Acre Construction has a defined process for reviewing the work with homeowners and addressing remaining items before everything is signed off.
When a project reaches about 98% completion, the team schedules a completion meeting to walk through the space, identify anything that still needs attention, and establish a date for completing those final items.
And the relationship doesn’t end there. We provide a one-year limited warranty on remodels, custom homes, and commercial upfits, subject to the terms of our warranty agreement.
