From Site Work to Final Walkthrough
We grade it, prepare it and build on it. One licensed local team takes your mountain land from raw lot to the home you have been picturing.

A mountain home starts with the slope, the rock, the water and the view. Ten years on this ground is how we set it where it should sit.
Rollins Construction Inc. is a custom home builder and licensed North Carolina general contractor based in Murphy. For 10 years we have built homes across Cherokee, Clay, Graham and Macon counties for families who want it done right.
The plan starts with the land. That is why our custom home building begins with a site visit.
Mountain lots are steep, roads are narrow, rock shows up where you least expect it, and water always finds a way. We plan for all of it from the first site visit. Own a lot with a long-range view, or still deciding where to build? We will walk the property with you and give you honest answers about what it takes.
A lot that looks level from the road can fall away behind the tree line. A beautiful view can come with a long, steep drive that needs careful grading before a concrete truck can make the climb. We look at where water runs during a hard rain, where the house pad can sit without fighting the hill, and how the driveway will meet the home. Those answers shape the floor plan, the foundation and the budget, so we get them early.
If you don't have land yet, we can help you look at homesites with a builder's eye before you buy. At the first consultation we talk through floor plans and budget, and we handle the county permits once the plan is set.
Most clients come to us for a new home. Because we are a licensed general contractor with our own site work, the garage, the barn or the addition can be built by the same team.
Every home is custom designed for the lot and the people who will live in it.
Custom home building
Garages, ADUs, barndominiums, additions and post-frame buildings.
General contracting
House pads, site preparation, grading and drainage shaping, done by the team that builds the home.
Grading and excavationOn most mountain builds, site work goes to one company and the house to another. When something goes wrong between them, you end up in the middle. We do both, so the people building your home already know exactly what is under it.
Because the same licensed contractor plans the grading and the house, the pad is cut for the foundation that will actually sit on it, the drainage is shaped for where the gutters and downspouts will land, and the driveway grade is set for the garage you chose. There is one schedule to follow and one person to call when you have a question.
Site prep and construction are designed as one plan from day one.
Drainage and grades are shaped around where the home sits.
One schedule, one contract and one licensed contractor responsible.
Here is our six-step process in short. No surprises and no guessing what comes next.
We talk about your goals, budget and timeline, and answer your questions plainly.
We walk your land and look at access, slope, drainage and where the house should sit.
Pick a plan, bring your own or adjust one to fit. Then you get a clear written price.
We handle the county permits and paperwork so the build starts on solid footing.
Our crew prepares the site, then construction begins, with updates as it moves along.
We walk the finished home together, close out the punch list and hand you the keys.
That is enough to get started. Tell us what you have in mind, and we will tell you what it takes to build it.
