Our focus at Grainda Builders is to build it better . We often say that our product is our service ,” says Jason Tanenbaum , President and Managing Partner . “ Grainda Builders was founded in 2002 , by my partner Joe Grainda , and was established to build custom homes on prime lots . Due to our proximity to several lakes , most of our work over the last 22 years has been waterside or within golf course communities throughout the Charlotte , North Carolina area .
“ I joined Joe in the company in 2005 and while he is mostly retired and enjoying the finer things in life now , he does play an important role of mentorship ,” Jason explains . “ Like many in our industry , we build custom homes and if someone wants a contemporary home or a traditional one , whatever the style , we ’ re happy to deliver , but our primary focus is always finding ways to build better .
“ Our approach is to work closely with the client and help them achieve their desires by establishing budgets , implementing schedules , and sourcing appropriate materials to provide the lowest maintenance and greatest longevity for their home . We ’ re always competing with ourselves to become better .

So , when a project is under construction and we ’ re problem solving , we ’ re always reflecting on whether the decision we ’ re making is indicative of a builder that builds better .
“ We schedule face-to-face meetings with our clients to ensure seamless communication . It may take more time , but it is a better way of conducting business . Our mission is to provide building solutions through integrity ,

The construction schedule and complexities are driven by the plans and specifications . So , throughout the building phase , we conduct regularly occurring meetings , providing open communication . Our passion is to help our clients create the spaces they ’ ll call home . One awardwinning project involved upgrading the outdoor living spaces of our client ’ s home .
