Additional Comments - We feel so fortunate to have Bill as our project manager. He did an amazing job walking us through the process as first time home builders. Thank you Bill, and PBC for making a dream come true! The Porters

PBC is not truthful and hard to work with.

My experience with PBC has been all good. Anytime there was an issue that I had, they addressed it quickly and fairly. We still have not done the walkthrough at the end of the year but I am sure there will be no problems in doing that because there have not been any problems so far. I am very positive with PBC, they have done a wonderful job.

They are quality builders with a quality process. It was really easy and they were a pleasure to work with.

We had an excellent experience with PBC. Our team was amazing and very attentive.

Loved every minute of the process

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - I would do it all over again, with PBC!

At this point in our experience, we would not recommend PBC to anyone. We were expecting a higher quality product with a more hands-on approach. We feel like we could have gotten a similar home for less money in the other sections of River Lights.

They're an excellent builder. Quality craftsmanship throughout our new home. A good team of people.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - This was our first experience building a custom home. In addition we lived 6 hours away and voice hit. We really had to trust PBC with the design build process and they earned our trust. Grateful that we chose them.

PBC completed our home on schedule and with first class craftsmanship and pride.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - I called several builders at the start of our effort to build and some said our budget didn't work and another said bring him my plans. I needed someone to walk me through design in parallel with the budget. When I called PBC Jarvis showed up the next day and climbed a ladder to meet me where I was on my roof. We found our partner that day!

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - Dan Spann turned the experience from a normal build to an exceptional build.

Overall I would not. In their Introduction package they said from planning house to finished house built would be 7-9 months. Being our third time building a house we knew that wasn’t going to happen. It took 9 months from our first meeting to start the building process. Then it took another 11 months to complete. Even with Hurricane I would give them a pass of 1 month. Their were 10 plus mistakes made delaying project due to poor and lack of project management. The project manager kept the house unsafe, dirty & unlocked at times. During an electrical walkthrough I took a fall flat on my face over an air tank that even another PBC employee said shouldn’t have been there. We were all bunched in a corner and when I turned I fell over it & shattered my IPad in my hands . I had pain in my right leg and trouble getting up from sitting and 2 yrs later still. Had xrays and Physical therapy. There should have been a safety cone there and also in LR floor outlet area. I blame our Project Manager who was obviously unqualified for this job.

Any Changes?

Any Changes? - From day one, they were here to help with every aspect of the job, including the driveway and tearing down a wall. They have been nothing but great and I would change nothing about my home.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - We were nervous about building while we were in New York and not being able to see the progress on a weekly basis but we got pictures every week and phone calls to discuss what had been accomplished during the week. When we did come in Jon always set aside whatever time we requested . We truly could not have been more pleased with the service, attention to detail and the outcome. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

We are so pleased that we selected PBC Design +Build to build our home. The workmanship is excellent and we could not be more pleased with our project lead, John Henry. Even though we were in Houston Texas, Jon kept us informed and updated while he successfully managed the build in Calabash NC.

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - Special thanks to Kate Eames, our Project Manager and "point person" for her professionalism, persistence w/contractors, patience and guidance while juggling multiple projects. We feel it is important to note that we enjoyed working with everyone at all levels of PBC Design + Build.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - Both Beth and I feel that any evaluation of PBC would be incomplete without mentioning the invaluable role played by Dave Spetrino. His vision, advice, and calm... "Keep Breathing"... set a tone of confidence and trust that guides the entire enterprise.

We know a lot more about other builders since living in Compass Pointe and no way would we have used anyone else but PBC.

Easier Than Expected

Easier Than Expected - Dave Spetrino was very helpful, flexible and professional in the design of our 4 story townhouse.
