Discover UWC Custom Builders and the founders’ passion for constructing coastal community homes
Under Way Construction Custom Builders( UWC Custom Builders) is a small group of family-oriented individuals focused on construction of new custom homes, custom commercial projects and high-end remodels in the Port Aransas, Texas community. The company offers a turnkey consultation and construction service experience, and the team is happy to work with clients to ensure their needs are met, from conception through to project completion, as well as during ongoing occupancy.
Chad Shimaitis and Peter Young co-founded UWC Custom Builders in 2017. Living in Port Aransas taught the founders a lot about building in the harsh coastal environment, and the pair strive to make the process of building a home a collaborative and joyful experience. Chad and Peter focus on putting the needs of the client first and offer top quality construction services at competitive rates using a transparent process. Moreover, the team goes to great lengths to be readily available to always immediately address clients’ needs and concerns. In addition to creating a quality product, open and clear communication with the client is the company’ s top priority.
Port Aransas is a city on Mustang Island, on the Texas coast. It’ s known for its Gulf of Mexico beaches and fish-filled waterways.“ We have made it our mission from the beginning to build a home that will not prematurely fail due to moisture penetration and salt exposure,” Chad says, on the company’ s website.“ Additionally, we IECC energy test all of our homes to ensure peak envelope performance.” He will happily share with homebuyers and potential clients the many techniques the firm uses“ to create a tighter, dryer, and longer lasting home.”
The company’ s impressive project portfolio includes both spec homes and custom builds. A fine example of a UWC Custom Builders’ spec home can be found at 121 Wildhorse Drive. This newly constructed home has all the character and style of a vintage American beach cottage but with the latest in quality construction and style.
