harlie Gant and Craig Brown have been partners going on 17 years in the demanding field of custom homebuilding. They are owners of Gant and Brown Premier Homebuilders, LLC., in Gulfport.
“We are not a large volume builder. More is not necessarily better,” Brown said.
They have completed homes both small and large from Diamondhead to Ocean Springs.
Because each house is designed for individuals, no two are alike, Brown said. They work with each client to ensure the design
plan, architectural elements and products work together, and stay within the allocated budget. They work with numerous architects, designers, subcontractors, bankers and realtors.
In addition to building homes on their clients’ own land, Gant said they own dozens of lots in quality developments along the Coast from Pass Christian to Biloxi, for those clients who have not yet selected that perfect lot to build their dream home on.
Gant and Brown are currently developing a new neighborhood called Grand Oaks. It will have a country feeling, yet be located off the Cowan-Lorraine Road corridor just minutes north of Interstate 10.
Brown said they stay current on the latest building trends and products by attending continuing education classes and seminars.
“We use quality products in our homes. They are built to energy efficient standards,” he said. They use top craftsmanship and products that withstand the test of time.
The partners have skills that complement each other. Gant’s focus is primarily on land procurement and development, in addition to working with prospective homeowners in the early stage of their project before construction begins. Brown’s expertise is in construction, quality control and coordinating a schedule. “We share the same pride in our work and the same vision,” Brown said.
Gant is in agreement. “We believe our success is due to our quality of construction, attention to detail, client satisfaction and service after the sale,” he said.
