Building a custom home should be one of life’s most rewarding experiences. At Meritus, we believe the process should be every bit as enjoyable as the finished home. That’s why we keep you informed, involved and supported from the first conversation through move-in day and for years to come.
Our Design-Build approach combines thoughtful planning, collaborative design, exceptional craftsmanship and open communication to create a home that’s uniquely yours while making the journey as smooth and stress-free as possible.

It Starts with a Plan
Every successful custom home begins with listening. At the Meritus Design Center in Anderson, South Carolina, we’ll take the time to understand your lifestyle, your homesite, your architectural preferences and your investment goals before recommending or developing a plan that’s right for you.
Our extensive collection of home plans includes exclusive designs from the Southern Living Custom Builder Network, and our architectural team can modify an existing plan or create a completely custom design tailored to your vision. Throughout the planning process, we’ll help you make informed decisions that balance beauty, functionality and long-term value.
