Who we are

Our Story

In 2019, after more than 26 years of building in the Lowcountry, Nathan Zane became the construction-forward, design-build company that balanced customer vision with project timing and budget that we remain today. Over those years, we have become an essential part of a close-knit community that includes Charleston's most gifted architectural, construction and design professionals. It also includes each and every one of our homeowners. The success of all of our high-end construction projects has been built on a foundation of honest relationships and authentic communication.
