BKA BUILDERS, Inc. builds true custom homes in High Point — a major Triad city — known globally as the Furniture Capital of the World — with a wide range of neighborhoods, from established mid-century streets to growing suburban edges. Every plan is drawn around your family and your lot. Owner-led, NASCLA-accredited, veteran-built. The first consultation is on us.
High point is a major Triad city — known globally as the Furniture Capital of the World — with a wide range of neighborhoods, from established mid-century streets to growing suburban edges, about 20 minutes southwest of Greensboro, the second-largest city in the Triad. It's the kind of place families come to when they want a home that fits their life rather than a lot that fits a builder's plan — which is exactly what we do.
High Point's size means real variety: infill lots in established neighborhoods, larger parcels on the city's edges, and everything in between. The city runs its own full permitting operation, and because parts of High Point cross into Davidson and Randolph counties, the jurisdiction can vary by address — we confirm the right office before a shovel goes in.
That land is the starting point. Brian and Debbie Adams walk the lot with you, read the grade and the light and the views, and the plans grow from there. The home gets designed around the High Point Market and the city's furniture and design heritage and the character of the area, not dropped onto the lot from a catalog.
Every town in the Triad handles permitting a little differently. Here's what to expect in High Point — and how BKA keeps it moving.
Building a custom home in High Point requires building permits through the City of High Point Development Services Center (211 South Hamilton Street; 336-883-3151), with online submission via the Accela portal and in-house plan review. High Point issues and inspects its own permits — a more detailed process than the county towns — and our experience with the city's reviewers keeps a build moving through review without surprises..
That's not a hurdle — it's a sequence, and sequence is something we're good at. We handle the site plan, the zoning review, the septic or sewer coordination, and the permit submission as part of the build. You stay focused on the design; we keep the paper moving.
If you're still looking for land, Debbie — a North Carolina native and licensed Realtor — can help you read a High Point lot before you buy it: perc tests, setbacks, watershed rules, the things that determine whether your plan will actually fit. It's one of the reasons a build-on-your-land project with BKA starts with a conversation, not a contract.
Custom at BKA means every set of plans is drawn for your family and your High Point lot — there's no plan library to pick from. Brian and Debbie sit down with you, listen to how your family lives, and the design grows from there.
It also means we try to say yes. Most builders come with a list of “no.” We start with “yes” and then walk you honestly through what each yes costs and changes. It's how our homeowners describe us — and it's why a home in High Point built by BKA tends to fit the family behind it.
Selections are guided through a curated network of suppliers we've worked with for 20 to 25 years — so the decisions stay manageable without the home feeling like everyone else's.

The first conversation is free. Tell us about your land — or the lot you're looking for — and we'll talk through what a custom home in High Point could look like.
