Fournier’s Story

Custom home building is one of our family’s greatest passions. With extensive experience constructing quality custom homes in Horry and Georgetown Counties, we provide a smooth and efficient process from initial concept to completion. South Carolina’s Lowcountry is steeped in a rich history of purposeful and intriguing architectural design, perfectly complementing the lifestyle we’ve all come to cherish. We are proudly based in Pawleys Island and have found our deepest inspiration and greatest desire to create along the Waccamaw Neck.

Our work is primarily focused in the Murrells Inlet, Litchfield, and Pawleys Island communities of the South Strand.

Our commitment to our clients doesn’t end when the project is complete. You can rest assured that even years later, we remain dedicated to providing the best customer service and attention. As a close-knit, family-driven business, we understand the importance of family, which is why we treat each of our clients as if they were part of ours. Additionally, we prioritize maintaining strong, lasting relationships not just with our clients, but also with our trusted subcontractors—because we’re all on the same team.
