The journey began in 2003 when Dillard-Jones Builders was founded by Tom Dillard and Bryan Jones, driven by a leap of faith and a shared vision to build homes with authentic craftsmanship. Over time, the company evolved into a “All-Inclusive” solution, known for its award-winning luxury homes and commitment to lasting relationships.
Working alongside DOMA Architecture and Tribus Interior Design, Dillard-Jones Builders delivers a seamless, personalized process from concept to completion. DOMA shapes thoughtful, clientcentered designs, while Tribus curates interiors that reflect each client’s story.

Collaborations
At Dillard-Jones Builders, we bring over 20 years of experience partnering with leading architects across the Carolinas. We also collaborate closely with talented interior designers who help shape every project. Our trusted partners at Doma and Tribus further support a comprehensive and well-coordinated design-build process.
Along the coast, our commitment to thoughtful design continues with exciting projects underway. These collaborations include Court Atkins Group, Herlong Architects, Aaron Cote, Pearce Scott Architects, and many others.
We are also proud of our ongoing partnership with MHK, whose expertise helped bring one of our most celebrated projects to life— the 2024 Southern Living Idea Home. This residence beautifully reflects the character and setting of Kiawah River.
Our All-Inclusive By Design
Our All-Inclusive approach is designed for clients who value their time. We handle everything—architecture, design, construction, furnishings, and even ongoing property care—so you can simply enjoy the process instead of managing it.
