Luxury Custom Homes and Renovations in Chapel Hill, Pittsboro, and Hillsborough
A custom homebuilding
experience that's
energizing.
BOLD Construction is an award-winning custom home builder and luxury renovation contractor serving Chapel Hill, Pittsboro, Hillsborough, and surrounding communities throughout Chatham and Orange counties. Our fixed-price design-build process brings planning, design and construction together under one accountable team.
Building your home should be exciting. Too often, it isn't.
A custom home is a significant investment of your time and trust. When the budget keeps moving or communication falls short, the experience can become far more stressful than it needs to be.
A better building experience starts with a process you can trust. That is why we designed the BOLD process to give you clarity from the very beginning.
Budget Uncertainty
With a cost-plus contract, the final price can continue to change as your home is built. That makes it difficult to know what your project will truly cost before construction begins.
Too Many Decisions, Too Little Guidance
A custom home comes with hundreds of choices. Without an experienced team guiding the process, selections can become overwhelming and decisions can begin to consume your time.
A Project That Takes Over Your Life
Building a home requires your involvement. It shouldn't require you to manage the builder. Clear communication and accountability allow you to stay connected to your home without carrying the project yourself.
A better building experience starts with the right team.
For more than 25 years, BOLD Construction has built custom homes and completed luxury renovations throughout Chapel Hill, Pittsboro, Hillsborough, and the surrounding Triangle. Our fixed-price design-build approach brings planning, design, selections, pricing, and construction together under one accountable team.

A life-giving process in three clear steps.
Chris and Jason, childhood friends, business partners, and the people ultimately accountable for your home, built BOLD around one belief: the custom home building process should feel rewarding, not draining. That belief continues to shape how we guide every project today.
Discover Your BOLD
We start by understanding your vision, how you want to live, and what you want this home to make possible. Then we translate it into a final design and a guaranteed fixed price, before a single nail is driven.
Build with Ease
One accountable team. Transparent weekly communication. Expert guidance through every selection, milestone, and decision. You stay informed and in control, without carrying the stress.
Live Your Legacy
Step into a home that's unmistakably yours. Healthy, beautiful, and built to last, crafted around the life you actually want to live, for the people you love most.
Cost-plus is a prediction. Fixed-price is a promise.
Most custom builders quote a low starting number, then adjust as they go. By the end, you may be hundreds of thousands over what you planned.
BOLD is different. We do the hard work upfront in design, selections, and estimating, so we can lock in your total investment before construction begins. You know exactly what you're getting. And exactly what it costs.

BOLD isn't the right fit for everyone. That's intentional.
We work best with clients who care about the experience of building just as much as the finished home. You want a home designed around the way you live, and a team you can trust to guide you through the process.
If your priority is simply the lowest starting price or the fastest path to move-in, we may not be the right builder.
But if you value thoughtful planning, fixed-price certainty, and a home designed specifically for you, we should talk.
