When it comes to home building, Hunter Quinn Homes has made a name for itself as South Carolina’s builder of choice. Born from a passion for community and the Charleston lifestyle, South Carolina native Will Herring built Hunter Quinn Homes to combine his practical experience with a vision for industry improvement. Now, a decade later, Hunter Quinn Homes is doing more than building houses; they are building homes and communities that make South Carolina strong.

A Decade of Success

What does it take to build a decade of success in the home-building industry? According to Hunter Quinn Homes, it all starts with their people. The company began as a local production builder in 2013. Herring mobilized a leadership team that brought decades of experience from prominent players in the residential construction industry. Together, they leveraged their individual strengths and worked to create a company focused on much more than just home building.

Over the last decade, Hunter Quinn Homes has built quality relationships and lasting connections with its trade partners,

team, and customers alike, maintaining the strong sense of humanization that has always been at the forefront of the company. By combining a peoplecentric culture with innovative, outside-the-box thinking, Hunter Quinn Homes and its family of builders have spent the last 10 years meticulously improving their processes, creating seamless customer experiences, building dream homes, and supporting charitable organizations in the South Carolina communities in which they all live and love.

From day one, Hunter Quinn Homes has kept its focus on culture and bringing in the right people for the right roles. Chief Operations Officer Todd Nowicki explained that leadership places a lot of value on empowering the entire team to do their jobs well. According to Nowicki, it’s what has helped the company continuously improve over the years.

“It’s all about finding really good people, letting them be the best versions of themselves, and giving them full autonomy over their role in the building process,” Nowicki said. “We trust our team, value their innovative input, and

encourage new ideas about how to improve what we already do well. One of our core values is that we are ‘never satisfied’. We’re not afraid of a challenge and our team is constantly seeking ways to forge ahead and achieve even better results.”

In this way, the company stays upto-date and on the cutting-edge of the home-building industry in South Carolina. The idea is that when every team member comes to work with a sense of purpose instead of running a playbook, they enjoy the work they do and strive to keep doing more, creating more, and achieving more. This sense of

appreciation combined with a ‘no suits’ environment where all ideas are encouraged help ensure that Hunter Quinn Homes works with the best of the best in the homebuilding industry.

Focused, But Nimble –Adapting to Customer Needs

Hunter Quinn Homes takes pride in delivering tailored solutions that cater to customers’ needs and wants, while remaining conscious of their budgets, and keeping a pulse on industry trends and best practices. Nowicki elaborated on how they meet these demands, encompassing production building, a dedicated land acquisition

team, exploration into mini home construction, lot development and redevelopment, among other services. The company has also ventured into site builds with its Build on Your Lot division, known as HomeSights, where they collaborate with customers who already own a piece of land, assisting them in selecting their ideal floorplan and subsequently constructing it on their desired location.

“We’ve remained focused on building our core product over the years, but also understand that housing needs look a lot different now than they did in 2013— especially in South Carolina, where

we have had an influx of new residents over the last decade,” Nowicki said. “To accommodate that, we’ve had to think outside the box and develop innovative solutions. It’s a welcome challenge for our team to develop new product lines and satisfy unmet needs in our communities.”

Building homes in South Carolina ignites a genuine passion among the members of Hunter Quinn Homes. This fervor has translated into numerous home-building projects across various divisions, including Greenville, Charleston, and the upcoming Myrtle Beach division. Over the past decade,

Connections that Last

The team at Hunter Quinn Homes understands that their work doesn’t stop after a build is complete. Nowicki also attributes much of Hunter Quinn Homes’s success to their attention to service. From the moment a client shares their desire to build their dream home, to the day they

move in, and even years down the line, service is a top priority at Hunter Quinn Homes. This includes providing quality products every time, doing what they say they are going to do when they say they will do it, understanding the customer’s needs, and ensuring they are providing what is best for every customer every time.

Another connection Nowicki attributes to the company’s success is that of the National

Association of Home Builders (NAHB). He said that through their connection with the NAHB, team members throughout the company have benefited from extensive training (including green building specifications and requirements) and certifications that help them stay on top of their building game. The NAHB also helps with overcoming some of the challenges all home-builders face on a national level. Some of these challenges include pricing, regulations (both

state and national), labor issues, labor fees, and supply chain issues. The NAHB helps provide access to the newest techniques in the industry, the latest innovations in home-building designs, and many other tools that keep Hunter Quinn Homes succeeding in their goal of providing South Carolina residents the homes they dream of.

Community Involvement

Hunter Quinn Homes nurtures their longstanding connections by investing in the communities in which they live and work. The company is proud to support the development of future skilled workers, participate in community

events, and regularly contribute to charitable causes.

“We understand that a community is much more than just a group of houses on a plot of land,” Nowicki said. “There’s a spirit of community that goes deeper than that, and we try to leverage our strengths and resources to make our communities a desirable place for people to call home. We’re not just a builder, we’re also a neighbor.” To promote interest in skilled trades, Hunter Quinn Homes partners with local high schools and allows students to participate in projects to learn hands-on skills. The company builds prop

homes with intentional errors and trains the students to perform the necessary inspections to catch the errors. In this way, they are promoting interest in the industry and encouraging future members of the workforce.

Hunter Quinn Homes also gives back to the communities it builds in through its extensive involvement with nonprofit organizations. The company has participated in events for Habitat for Humanity, a baseball park rebuild (and subsequent charity kickball tournament), a renovation for a local home for children in South Carolina’s foster system, and more. By donating time, labor, materials, and other resources, Hunter Quinn Homes makes a difference in a meaningful way while also engaging their trade partners and team members—yet another testament to the company’s focus on relationships.

Building South Carolina Strong

For the team at Hunter Quinn Homes, building in the communities they themselves call home makes the impact priceless. Over the past ten years, they have cultivated enduring bonds and enduring

impact. Their connections have flourished among trade partners, team members, clients, and charitable partners, underscoring the enduring human element at the core of the company’s mission.

By melding a culture centered on people with inventive and unconstrained thinking, Hunter Quinn Homes has continually refined processes, elevated customer experiences, and actualized dreams throughout their cherished communities—helping to build South Carolina strong.
