Harbor & Home is a Charleston-based construction management and homeowner advisory firm specializing in project planning, pre-construction services, and owner representation for residential and light commercial construction and renovation projects.

Building or renovating a home or business involves hundreds of decisions, many of which are made long before construction begins. Harbor & Home was founded on the belief that thoughtful planning, experienced guidance, and careful coordination during these early stages can prevent costly mistakes, reduce delays, and create a far better building experience.

By working with our clients from the earliest phases of a project, we help assemble the right team, establish a realistic budget and scope, and guide critical design and construction decisions before they become expensive changes later.

As a trusted advisor and owner’s representative in Charleston, South Carolina, Harbor & Home works alongside homeowners, architects, designers, and contractors to ensure every project moves forward with clarity, organization, and attention to detail.
