Project Management
Build Smarter. Stay in Control. Save Thousands.
At Deaton Builders, we believe your home should be a reflection of your vision—built your way, on your terms. If you’re planning to build your custom forever home and want to be more involved in the process while keeping costs under control, our Project Management Services are built for you.
Led by owner David Deaton, this service puts you in the driver’s seat while ensuring you never go it alone. You maintain control over your build—hiring subcontractors, scheduling at your pace, even completing some of the work yourself—while we provide the professional oversight and accountability needed to protect your investment and your peace of mind.
A Flexible Path to Your Forever Home
Traditional general contractors take full control of the process, along with a large percentage of your budget. But that approach isn’t right for everyone, especially experienced homeowners who want a more hands-on role or have specific tradespeople in mind.
With Deaton Builders’ Project Management option, we offer a structured alternative: you manage the direction of your project, while we manage the quality, compliance, and timeline. It’s a collaborative partnership where you gain more flexibility and transparency, without sacrificing expert guidance.
This option is ideal for:
- Homeowners who want to do some of the work themselves
- Families who want to build at their own pace without pressure
- Clients managing a tighter budget who don’t want to compromise quality
- Rural landowners who already have a vision and simply need trusted support to bring it to life
What We Handle—So You Don’t Have To
Custom homebuilding comes with countless moving parts—building codes, inspections, timelines, materials, and more. As your Project Manager, Deaton Builders keeps these critical components under control while you stay focused on what matters most to you.
Here’s what we oversee:
✔️ Scheduling & Coordination
We help create a clear, practical build schedule and ensure subcontractors are coordinated to avoid delays and conflicts.
✔️ Code Compliance & Inspections
Our team ensures every phase of your home meets local code and passes inspections the first time.
✔️ Budget Oversight
We help you plan realistically, monitor expenses, and avoid common overages that plague DIY builds.
✔️ On-Site Quality Control
David Deaton personally visits your site throughout construction to ensure your home is progressing with craftsmanship, safety, and precision.
✔️ Ongoing Communication
You’ll receive regular updates, expert advice, and full transparency throughout the project. You’ll never be left guessing.
Save Money—Without Sacrificing Quality
One of the most attractive aspects of our Project Management offering is the ability to reduce costs without losing the security of professional support. Instead of paying a full-service general contractor markup, you’re paying for just what you need—guidance, oversight, and peace of mind.
Whether you’re trying to stretch your budget to afford that dream kitchen or simply want to take control of your build timeline, this approach helps you allocate your money where it matters most.
And because Deaton Builders has over three decades of experience managing successful builds across North Carolina, you can trust that nothing important will fall through the cracks.
A Local Partner You Can Count On
We’ve built homes in Trinity, Archdale, Randleman, Sophia, and throughout the greater North Carolina countryside—and we know that no two families (or properties) are exactly alike. That’s why we tailor every project to your specific needs, land, and lifestyle goals.
What makes us different?
