Discovering the Sure Foot Builders Difference: The Asheville, NC Builder You Can Trust

In the realm of custom homebuilding in Asheville, NC, where dreams take shape and memories are made, there's no doubt that the choices are vast and varied. Choosing a builder is a decision that goes beyond bricks, sticks, and stones—it's about finding a partner who understands your vision, values, and the importance of a lasting legacy. At Sure Foot Builders, we take pride in being that trusted partner and our journey from passion to purpose sets us apart in the competitive landscape of new homes in Asheville, NC.

Rooted in a childhood fascination with construction, our founder, Raymond Thompson, discovered his love for new construction at an early age in his Kentucky hometown, learning the trade from his father and gaining hands-on experience in the industry early on. His journey took him from the sunsets of New Mexico to the mountains of Colorado and the beaches of Hawaii. In 2004, Asheville became the canvas for his passion, and Sure Foot Builders emerged in 2005—standing tall as a trusted, forward-thinking builder in the Asheville area ever since. Read below as we dive into the Sure Foot Builders difference, from our strong focus on sustainability to our unparalleled craftsmanship and everything in between.

A dedication to sustainability

Every project we undertake reflects our commitment to balance, ensuring the best overall value for our homeowners and their communities over time. Our homes are built for the future, providing not just quality, but also sustainability. Every floor plan we design and every new home we build carries the prestigious certifications of Energy Star and Green Built—attesting to our adherence to rigorous standards for energy conservation and environmental impact. But we go beyond the certification standards, incorporating balanced fresh air custom-designed HVAC systems and tested verification of all home systems for peak performance. Even our office has a 14-kw solar array and operates on a near Net-Zero energy basis—reflecting our unwavering dedication to reducing our carbon footprint.

Exceptional financial planning and clear communication

Because our mission goes far beyond building houses, Sure Foot Builders understands the importance of financial peace of mind. Every new home we build follows Fixed-Price and Turnkey contracts. With Fixed-Price contracts, our clients get a clear, agreed-upon cost—diminishing the risk of unexpected expenses. Our Turnkey contracts cover every aspect of construction, from design to procurement, ensuring a hassle-free experience for our clients. To maintain clear communication we use advanced project management tools like CoConstruct. This software streamlines the selection process and ensures efficient project management. From home selections to progress tracking, our homeowners experience a seamless journey from concept to completion with our team by their side.

A process that starts with you

When you choose Sure Foot Builders, you’re embarking on a journey that begins with you. Our process prioritizes your vision, ensuring a seamless and collaborative experience. Starting with a focus on crucial design aspects, we meticulously consider elements such as bedrooms, bathrooms, aesthetic preferences, finishes, and your unique requirements. Armed with this vital information, we provide a feasibility estimate or preliminary price range for your specific home. The journey progresses with a meet and greet, where we explore floor plans and elevation options, transforming your initial concept into a tangible outline. This initial phase establishes a solid foundation— aligning us with your vision before delving further. Our commitment to open communication and collaboration ensures your dream home takes shape while keeping your budget in mind. From the first interaction to the final walkthrough, our entire process is a reflection of our dedication to excellence and your satisfaction.
