About Us
Our Story
Exeter Building Company was founded by three longtime friends who love Raleigh, are passionate about home building and wanted to create homes where people could build memories.
John Heidel, John Finan and Alex Yost are long time area residents and trace their friendship to a Raleigh neighborhood in the 1980’s. Today, Exeter builds custom luxury homes Inside the Beltline and in premier neighborhoods.
Built for you
Each home begins by selecting a homesite and then picking a plan that is uniquely matched to the site and the neighborhood. All kinds of great people buy Exeter homes and each one has specific interests and needs.
This gives us the opportunity to work on diverse projects and customize according to buyer preferences. We build custom luxury homes on our own sites or we can build on a site you may already own. Because you may need something that is available sooner, we also build homes that you can acquire during the construction process or once they are completed.
Making it easy
Your home is important and building it well is what we do. To simplify the process and make it go smoothly, we have full time designers.
Our designers are experts and will work with you from the start to select the colors, treatments, fixtures and finishes that will make a house your “home”.
Working with our design team will ensure that you get a great home, simplify the selection process, and keep you on track and on budget. You are welcome to engage your own designers for help with furnishings, wall treatments and window coverings too and we can partner with them to deliver your vision.
Working with Our Team
The Exeter Building Company team brings together a combination of home building expertise, design skill and business management.
You will work with John Finan to select a plan and create the specifications for the home. During the building process, you will work with an expert project manager to oversee the project and a designer who will help you to make the choices and selections that will make the house your home. Throughout the process, they will manage the project to deliver the home where you can build memories.
