About Us
Building Our Story
Local roots and home building excellence
The Laidlaw Mission
Precision in every detail
We sweat the details. From structural framing to the finish carpentry, every element is constructed with exacting standards and high-quality materials. Our engineering background means no detail is overlooked in the pursuit of a perfect home.
Craftsmanship
We believe homebuilding is a craft. Our skilled tradespeople take pride in old-world workmanship, ensuring that each home features beautiful finishes and thoughtful details that you’ll appreciate for years to come.
Transparency every step of the way
Honesty is the foundation of our business. We provide clear estimates and fixed-price quotes with no hidden costs. Throughout the project, we keep you informed and involved – no surprises, just open communication.
The customer comes first. Always.
Your experience matters. We listen closely to your needs, preferences, and concerns. From the first design sketch to the final walk-through, we make sure you feel heard and delighted every step of the way. Our goal is to make the home-building journey as enjoyable and stress-free as the home itself.
Efficient, energy saving buildings
Embracing the latest in building science and technology, we create homes that are energy-efficient, sustainable, and equipped for modern living. We continually refine our processes to deliver on time and on budget, without sacrificing quality.
From Engineering to Exceptional Home Building
Our Story
Laidlaw Homes was born from a passion for precision and a commitment to quality. Chris spent years as a mechanical engineer designing precision tools and components. In 2024, he brought that same dedication to detail into the realm of custom home building.
Born and raised in Kannapolis, Chris has deep roots in this area and is a second-generation builder. With a reputation built on trust, he understands the area’s building requirements, architectural styles, and communities.
This our home too
Laidlaw Homes proudly serves the greater Charlotte region with a full-service approach to home construction.
We consider it both an honor and a responsibility to craft homes for our neighbors. Homebuilding is not just construction; it’s a craft and a commitment to the families who will live in what we build. We take that responsibility to heart every day.
More than a job.
Our mission is simple: to combine engineering precision with artisanal craftsmanship to create beautiful, custom homes that stand the test of time.
We strive to deliver an exceptional client experience, one that is personal, transparent, and enjoyable from start to finish.
By seamlessly merging visionary design with flawless execution, we aim to not only build houses but to build trust and lasting relationships with our clients.
