Cornelius luxury construction
Custom homes and renovations in Cornelius, NC
Cornelius sits on the Lake Norman shoreline — water views, outdoor living, and custom homes designed for how people actually use the lake. Max Built builds and renovates with that lifestyle as the brief.
Waterfront and near-water lots bring grading, drainage, and outdoor entertaining into the core of the design. We price and plan those realities early.

Custom home
Max Built built our home in Weddington and stayed on budget the entire way through. Our project lead was on site every week and picked up the phone when we called.

We did a whole home renovation in Myers Park. They treated it like new construction, not a patch job. Inspections passed clean at every stage.

Honest numbers from day one. When we changed cabinet selections mid build, they showed us the cost in writing before anything moved forward.
