JANUARY 2022 under his father. Following that experience, he stretched his wings and worked as a supervisor for some high-end commercial builders. Roughly seven years ago, he decided to strike out on his own and form Gilchrist Homes. His sister, an interior architect, joined him a few years in, and the company has grown rapidly ever since. Matt credits that rapid growth to several factors. One factor is the uniqueness of their designs, which are largely driven by his sister. Another factor is their focus on building relationships with every stakeholder. “We’re a relationship-driven company,” Matt explains. “We’re a family company. We consider our team family. We consider our customers family. We want to get to know them really, really well so we can deliver something that’s really unique and specific to them.” Delivering unique homes has always been important to Matt. From the moment he started Gilchrist Homes, his goal was never to build the most houses in the area – it was to build homes with the “highest level of quality, care and integrity,” and homes that “suited the client perfectly.” “Again, what I love about construction is that you can build something, and then you can look back on it and say ‘I did that,’” Matt reiterates. “Building custom has always been fundamental part of that. I’ve never been interested in building standard homes that you could just cut and paste onto different sites. I’ve always wanted to build relationships with customers and build homes that were specific to them. Those are the homes that you can drive past years later and get excited about.” Gilchrist Homes also gets excited about building homes that are environmentally sustainable.Theyarecommitted to ensuring their works are carried out in a safe and responsible manner, and they are passionate about learning how to do that even better. They are always on the lookout
