Crafting Confidence in the Next Generation
Every project you trust us to build tells a story. For us, that story goes beyond square footage, finishes, or a clean job site. It’s about using our work to strengthen Durham and invest in the people who call it home.
That’s why we’re proud supporters of Bull City Woodshop.
Bull City Woodshop gives kids and teens a place to slow down, work with their hands, and discover pride in what they create. Students walk in uncertain and walk out standing taller — because they built something real from a raw piece of wood.
Somewhere between the first cut and the final sanding, confidence shows up.
That matters to us. It reflects how we build homes too — with patience, care, and a focus on people, not just the project.
When you build with Radford Building Company, you’re also helping support the next generation of young makers right here in our community.
Our clients share their experiences in their own words — the process, the communication, and the final reveal. See why families across Durham and Chapel Hill area, NC trust Radford Building Company.
How can I get design inspiration for my project?
At Radford Building, our expert team collaborates with you to design a home that reflects your lifestyle, preferences, and aspirations. Whether you have specific ideas or need inspiration, we can guide you through the process.
What areas do you serve?
We proudly serve clients throughout our region including Durham, Orange and surrounding Counties, focusing on creating high-quality, custom homes and renovations, tailored to your needs.
How long does it take to build a custom home?
The timeline to build a custom home can vary depending on the lot, design complexity, and materials selected. Most clients spend 6–12 months in the pre-construction phases, finalizing design, engineering, selections, budgets & contract details followed by another 8–12 months of construction. In total, most Radford homes take 18–24 months from concept to completion.
Our structured process keeps every phase organized and transparent so you always know where things stand.
How much does it cost to build a custom home?
Custom home pricing depends on many factors such as design, site conditions, and finish level. In our market, most new homes range from $300 to $500 per square foot.
This is why we emphasize the pre-construction process — through our Concept Agreement and Preliminary Building Agreement — so that every detail, selection, and scope item is clearly defined. This ensures your budget is accurate and you know the costs well before construction begins.
