At Smith DesignBuild, we believe building or remodeling a home should feel personal and rewarding—not stressful. That philosophy comes straight from our roots.

Founded in 2014 by Lonnie Smith, the company was born from a desire to give homeowners a hands-on, transparent, and truly guided experience. Lonnie is a native North Carolinian and industry veteran who has overseen the construction of hundreds of homes across the Triangle. Today, Lonnie works alongside his co-owner and son, Jordan Smith, a skilled builder with over 20 years of experience leading new construction projects. Their unique strength is vision—helping homeowners imagine what their home can become and offering ideas along the way that enhance every stage of the build.

Together, Smith DesignBuild combines decades of knowledge, craftsmanship, and shared passion for building homes that are not just structures, but spaces where families create lasting memories. Their partnership brings a complementary mix of seasoned expertise, personal attention, and genuine care to every project, ensuring each home reflects the vision—and the heart—of the family who lives in it.​​​
