Artisan Built, LLC

Artisan Built is an absolutely superb construction management company. Bryan Combs was our Project Manager and we could not have asked for better. We had plans for a unique French Country home with upscale finishes and a complicated design. Brian guided us through every phase of the project. He had the lot surveyed and walked the plans through the Association’s Architectural Review Board. Anyone who has dealt with these Boards knows that there are multiple submissions and changes that take place and that are not easy to deal with. From there, Bryan provided us with a construction cost and detailed budget. Throughout the project he kept us updated on the budget—so there were no surprises or overruns. He contracted with and supervised all the trades: foundation, framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing. His cost estimates we right on the mark. Other than some change orders that we made and some weather days, the project was delivered on time and on budget. The quality was superb. At the completion there was a very small punch list—all very minor. After construction, he has been very responsive in dealing with all items that inevitably come up in new construction. If you are building a custom home—you won’t go wrong with Artisan Built. I can’t recommend them enough.

We selected Bryan with Artisan Built to build our new home after researching the pool of builders at Reynolds. The overwhelming feedback we received from prior clients was the quality of the build and how Artisan stands behind their work. Bryan's strengths are his experience, attention to detail and focus on using quality materials and sub contractors. Most importantly, Bryan delivered our custom home within the forecasted budget he provided. I would highly recommend Artisan Built to anyone considering building a new home at Reynolds.

We built our dream home in the midst of the pandemic. Bryan professionally and skillfully navigated us through supply chain issues and stayed on top of all the subcontractors holding them to their commitments—they were very professional as well. Bryan was in constant communication and we never had to wonder when or if he would respond to us. We communicated via phone calls, text, email and in person meetings. When an issue came up with a subcontractor he said “I’ll take care of it.” He ALWAYS kept his word. His leadership and attention to detail was greatly appreciated. We interviewed (5) builders and I’m certain we chose the best one.

Artisan has built 3 homes for us over the last 15 years. Quality has been excellent and they have exceeded expectations on resolving any post constructions issues, which have been few. Artisan would be our first choice and we would highly recommend them to anyone considering building in the Lake Oconee area.

We selected Artisan Built; Bryan and Ryan over several other contractors to build our home in Reynold's Lake Oconee in 2020. We have built other homes in the past, but we have to say the experience we had working with Artisan was the most professional and responsible of them all! The attention to detail and craftsmanship was always at the forefront throughout the project as well as the follow up items after we moved in our new home July '21. Bryan's background in engineering proved to be an asset in the construction process for several features in our home. Artisan' suppliers were also very professional and delivered/installed top quality product for us. Artisan provided a personal touch with reliability, quality, and trust throughout the journey. We absolutely would use them again. They are exceptional people to work with, we highly recommend them!

We worked with Artisan Built when we built our home in Reynolds Lake Oconee a couple of years ago. We could not have been more pleased with Ryan and Brian! We had nothing but positive experiences with them and they worked so hard to find all the special finishing touches from old brick from Savannah, beautiful reclaimed hardwood floors, special lighting fixtures, and even a special metal ceiling in our powder room. They are the best!

We looked at resale homes in Reynolds Lake Oconee for two years but couldn’t find anything we liked. We were starting to realize that to get a perfect home on a perfect lot, we would have to build - something we said we would never do. It turns out we met Reynolds owners in 2015 who lived near us in New Jersey and were building a house at Reynolds. What a stroke of luck that turned out to be for us. They raved about their experience with Artisan Built and made the entire construction process actually seem like fun! In January 2016 we spent a week at Reynolds doing our due diligence and interviewed four builders. Artisan was the only one who we felt would give us the full attention needed in a process as enormous as building a quality custom home. None of the other builders even came close! To make a long story short, our house was started in June 2016. We expected it to be stressful, but we quickly learned that Bryan Combs “had our back” and made sure that everything was done exactly to our specifications. He is the most “calm, cool & collected” person. He was in constant communication, and always available by text or phone – he would respond quickly to any concerns or questions we had. Before we knew it, we had a beautiful new home. And even two years after our home was finished, Bryan is always still there when we need him! We cannot recommend Artisan Built highly enough. They helped us achieve our perfect retirement by building the ideal house for us. The entire process couldn’t have gone any smoother. And there’s a lot to be said for that when you are building long distance from New Jersey! Patricia & Ivan Harlow

We hired Artisan in 2017 to build our home while we were living out of state. We dealt with communication issues, unprofessional behavior and an overall lack of integrity from this builder starting midway into the build. Ryan Miller was our point person and he personally walked away from the project several times and refused to take phone calls or communicate with us during our final move and throughout the next year. Warranty work has been has been unacceptable as they have refused to stand behind products that were installed in our home by their contractors.

Bryan and Ryan couldn't have made the experience of building a home any better, walking us through one step at a time. They were always eager to make an idea a reality with excellent insight along the way. They offer a great mix of structural and design expertise. But probably, even more importantly than all of that, was their complete transparency and integrity. You will never have to worry about hidden costs and they take the time to find vendors with the best prices to stay within budget. You can be confident these two will take a very personal interest in meeting or actually exceeding your expectations.

This builder has very strong connections in the local area, professional, responsible, personable and very articulate. The two owners work very good together. This builder continues to stay in close contact with their clients after the home owner has a certificate of occupancy .to assist home owners with alterations and upgrades. The quality of their workmanship is excellent. Completed the job on budget and on time. I would highly recommend this builder. Builder has an engineer degree.

This is our second experience building a new home. We have remodeled two other homes. Working with Artisan, is like working with family. Trust, quality, reliability, and providing complete satisfaction, are just a few words to describe owners Bryan Combs and Ryan Miller. We received total support throughout the building process. Marilyn Alea, Artisan's interior designer, was there from the start, helping us with the architectural design, to picking out that last faucet! We love our new home at Reynolds, and are so happy we chose to build with Artisan! Mary and Tom Tunnicliff

We had an incredible experience with this company. We went quite modern/Scandinavian with the interior which is a little unusual for our area of homes. They were able to give us everything we wanted with no hesitation. They are extremely professional but personable and easy going. This was our first build, but they made it seem like a breeze, very little stress.
