What you don’t have is 18 months of free time to coordinate four firms. That’s why Chart South exists.
We take projects from $300K to $2M+, new construction or major remodels. From small additions to full custom homes — same firm, same point of contact, same hands on the work.
We price cost-plus. You see the real numbers.
Brent came up running site development for a residential tract builder before launching Chart South, so the build side isn’t theoretical. He’s on site, he reads the plans because he drew the site plan, and he answers his phone.
Brent is a licensed Professional Landscape Architect, a licensed Residential General Contractor, and a Georgia Real Estate Agent. UGA-trained. One firm, one point of contact.
First call, then a site visit. We talk through scope, timeline, lot conditions, and what’s realistic for your budget. No charge, no pressure.
Site plan, floor plan, exterior + landscape direction, selection guidance. You see how the home sits on the lot before a shovel breaks ground.
We handle municipal and HOA submissions. Brent’s licensed PLA stamp clears submission paths most local builders can’t cover in-house.
Construction with the same trusted subcontractor network we’ve worked with for years. Weekly client updates, decisions tracked in writing.
Walkthrough, punch list, warranty. We don’t disappear at closing — most of our work comes from clients we’ve already built for.
Our builds run from roughly $300K on a smaller addition or modest new build, up to $2M+ on a full custom home with significant site work. Final cost depends on lot conditions, square footage, and finish level. We give you a real number after the site visit, not a sticker quote on the phone.

For most builds, no. Brent is a licensed Professional Landscape Architect and a Residential General Contractor, and we work with outside architects and structural engineers when a project calls for one. You hire one firm. We coordinate the rest.
