We take the headache out of construction planning.

Design + Draft + Build | Construction Consulting

We’re here to fix the construction process for everyone involved.

If you have ever done a construction project, you have probably encountered some of the common frustrations: waiting months (or even years) for construction plans, hearing  “that won’t work” — but without any explanation as to why, ending up with results that are not only NOT quite what you wanted, but also left you feeling like you were cheated along the way.

It does not have to be that way!

Phase One is revolutionizing the construction industry in South Carolina and beyond by putting people and process before profits, and getting things done — in scope, on time, and on budget.

We talk with you, not at you. And we present you with all of the information you need to choose what you want and who you work with.

Start with a construction consultation.

Phase One has been such a wonderful company to work with. We have spoken to Pam on the telephone and met with CJ twice now on two different properties, and their wisdom, expertise and advise has been invaluable. CJ has been incredibly patient and so forthcoming with information that has been helpful for us to realize our vision and goals. We are looking forward to working with Phase One more in the future as we move forward with our adventure!

We have loved working with Phase One on designs for our house! Everyone there is fabulous. Great communication and very professional. We had so many ideas but didn’t know where to start. Claire, who is an incredible listener, somehow took our jumbled thoughts , got creative and put it all together. We look forward to moving to the next “phase” and making the plans a reality. Definitely highly recommended!

We are extremely particular and had been working with an architect for a couple of years on our home renovation with no real movement. We went to Phase One at the recommendation of a close friend who had used them for a major renovation and had been extremely satisfied with the end result. They were pretty upfront that they charged more than other contractors but for good reason. Pam and Al at Phase One were absolutely fantastic from day 1 and God bless Jon and Azalea Building Group (their associated contractor) because they listened to every want/need and paid attention to every nit -picky little detail we were focused in on. They gave us our dream kitchen and hope to use them again soon for an addition. Worth every penny!!”

I have been very happy with each experience I have had with Phase One. Their communication has been consistent and the product they provide me, as a builder, is what I expect.

Pam and Al are great to work with. Al was very professional and knowledgeable about what we would have to do to renovate our attic space and gave us several options. If you are considering renovating your home, give them a call!

We've had the best experience with Phase One. The entire team is awesome! ... You know those moments where you say to yourself "I wish I would have known" or "I wish I would have spent the money to do it the right way." This is that moment! If you use Phase One you won't regret it.

We purchased a 70's ranch house while we still lived in Boston and Phase One was the very best option for us when we needed to get our ideas, plans and budget together for renovating the house. The Phase One team was very responsive, creative, and helpful. They gave us confidence in the ideas we already had, opened our eyes to new ideas and truly helped us understand the budget for a project our size. Now we are living in our home and we LOVE it. Phase One worked!

What can I say about this wonderful company. They were recommended by someone we knew in the area and we are so grateful for finding them. Pam and CJ got us on track to build our dream home. They are so honest and trustworthy and we feel like they are now part of the family.

Pam and Jon did a great job on the renovation of our 30-year old Kitchen and Master Bath. Not only did they design our renovation, they also handled the construction (and finished on time). They stand behind their work and have come by the house multiple times for small touch-ups. Highly recommend!!

Making Construction better.

Phase One is a unique collaboration of contractors, architects, designers, and project managers all under one roof, with one mission — to make the planning and construction process straightforward and easy for everyone involved.

Do things right — the first time

  1. Understand the project. Before you build, buy, or demo, get a construction consult to determine the realities of your project. 
  2. Understand the price. Once we understand the project, we can give you a realistic expectation of what it will cost and help you set a budget before you start talking with contractors.
  3. Then get the plans. Contractors hate the back and forth between architecture, engineering, and schematic design. We work with you and your builder to create a seamless process.
  4. THEN build the project. Once scope, cost, and plans are developed, it’s time to assemble your dream team and make it happen.
If you get this order right, you’ll be in your new space faster, and with less headache. Guaranteed.
