Greenville & Upstate South Carolina
Custom Residential Construction Services
Bihn Construction
Exceptional custom homes are not built by chance. They are the result of disciplined planning, experienced leadership, and precise execution across every phase of construction.
Bihn Construction is a full-service custom residential builder serving Greenville and the Upstate of South Carolina. We specialize in architect-driven custom homes, complex additions, challenging lake and mountain properties, and highly detailed residential construction where quality, coordination, and accountability matter.
From early planning through final delivery, our team provides hands-on leadership, transparent communication, and a construction process designed to protect both design intent and long-term value.
A Builder-Led Approach to Custom Residential Construction
Unlike production builders or volume contractors, Bihn Construction operates as a true custom builder. Every home is managed individually — with careful attention to site conditions, architectural detailing, material selection, and sequencing.
We do not rely on preset plans, rotating supervisors, or fragmented responsibility. Instead, we lead each project with builder oversight from start to finish, coordinating architects, engineers, consultants, and trades under a disciplined execution strategy.
Custom Home Design & Construction
We build fully custom homes tailored to your architecture, lifestyle, and property — not simplified packages or standardized floor plans.
Our custom home construction services include:
- Pre-construction planning and budgeting
- Architectural coordination and constructability review
- Custom floor plan execution
- Structural and civil engineering coordination
- Material selection, procurement, and scheduling
- Trade sequencing and on-site supervision
- Quality control inspections at every phase
- Final walkthrough, close-out, and warranty documentation
Every home is built with precision and accountability — from foundation placement through final inspection.
High-End Home Additions & Renovations
Expanding or renovating an existing home requires a different level of expertise than new construction. Structural integration, material continuity, and sequencing are critical to a successful outcome.
Our renovation and addition services include:
- Structural assessments and engineering coordination
- Permitting and building code compliance
- Foundation modifications and reinforcements
- Room additions and second-story expansions
- Kitchen and bathroom renovations
- Whole-home renovations and restorations
We ensure new construction integrates seamlessly with the existing structure — preserving architectural character while improving function, comfort, and value.
Lake & Mountain Property Construction
Lakefront and mountain homes demand specialized experience. Steep slopes, waterfront setbacks, erosion control, access limitations, and environmental regulations require proven systems and experienced oversight.
Our terrain-driven expertise includes:
- Steep-slope excavation and grading
- Engineered foundation systems
- Retaining walls and structural site solutions
- Septic systems and extended utilities
- Drainage design and erosion control
- Environmental and regulatory coordination
We routinely build on properties others avoid — safely, efficiently, and without compromising design.
Specialty Features & Custom Amenities
High-end homes are defined by thoughtful details and expertly executed features.
We design and construct:
- Climate-controlled wine rooms and cellars
- Outdoor kitchens and covered living spaces
- Custom garages, workshops, and storage solutions
- Pool houses and guest suites
- Home theaters and media rooms
- Smart home and low-voltage systems
These features are coordinated early and integrated correctly — not added as afterthoughts.
Aging-in-Place & Thoughtful Home Modifications
Functional upgrades should enhance a home — not detract from its character or resale value.
Our aging-in-place services include:
- Zero-step entries and discreet ramps
- Wider doorways and circulation paths
- Curbless showers and integrated grab bars
- Lever hardware and accessibility upgrades
- First-floor primary suite conversions
- Improved lighting and visibility design
We integrate accessibility with architectural sensitivity and long-term planning.
