Welcome to Canipe Construction

Canipe Construction is your exclusive custom homebuilder in the Lake Norman area. We specialize in $150-$700K home construction but we also excel in additions, exterior renovations, porches & decks, and light commercial building. We spend quality time on details believing that truly superior homes are built by people of principles and integrity.

The Process

We will personally walk you through every aspect of building to make sure all questions and concerns are addressed. Each of our homes are as unique as our clients. Canipe Construction is all about choices. Your building experience should express your goals, your style and your way of life. There are many factors to consider when building a home. Simply bring us your sketches and ideas and we'll map out the steps to your dream home.

We begin by sitting down with you to get to know each other better and discuss the issues involved in the custom build process. We realize that this might be an entirely new experience for you, and we want to make sure you fully understand what is involved, and that any fears you have are alleviated immediately. In this first meeting, we also learn where you're at in the lot and plan selection process. If you have any questions about financing, or need recommendations of preferred lenders, we are happy to provide this information as well. We are also happy to provide references for you.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a pleasurable home building experience by building lasting relationships with our customers and combine the personalized service and home-town feel of a local builder with the professionalism, efficiency, and value larger builders offer.
