My passion for construction and building began at a young age. Growing up, I was fortunate to work alongside my grandfather, a seasoned contractor, since I was just 12 years old. Those early years laid the foundation for my love affair with the construction industry. I learned valuable skills, hands-on techniques, and the importance of attention to detail from my grandfather. His guidance and mentorship instilled in me a strong work ethic and dedication to delivering top-notch results. As I grew older, my interest in construction only deepened. I pursued engineering studies at the Technion University in Israel, further solidifying my knowledge and expertise.

After completing my studies, I decided to follow in my grandfather’s footsteps and establish my own construction company. With his blessing and support, I began building my business, focusing on new home construction, renovations, and commercial projects. Today, I’m proud to be a licensed general contractor in South Carolina and North Carolina, with a reputation for quality craftsmanship, timely completion, and exceptional customer service.

Working with my grandfather taught me that construction is not just about building structures; it’s about:

– Creating homes for families to grow

– Building communities that thrive

– Crafting spaces that inspire

That’s why I love what I do. Every project is an opportunity to make a lasting impact on people’s lives
