Built on Honor.
Defined by Craft.
Serving Ponte Vedra & Jacksonville since 2018
From Service to
Craftsmanship
Dovetail Design-Build was founded on a simple but powerful belief: that the people who build your home should be the same people who design it. After years of watching projects fail due to miscommunication between architects and contractors, our founder — a U.S. Air Force veteran — set out to create something different.
We built Dovetail from the ground up as a fully integrated design-build firm — one team, one contract, one vision. Today, we serve the most discerning homeowners and commercial clients in Ponte Vedra and Jacksonville, delivering projects that redefine what luxury construction can be.
The name "Dovetail" is a nod to the most precise joint in woodworking — a symbol of two pieces coming together with perfect fit, strength, and beauty. It is exactly what we do: unite design and construction into something extraordinary.
The Principles That
Guide Every Decision
Veteran Integrity
Military service instilled in us a discipline and commitment to excellence that permeates every project we undertake.
Uncompromising Quality
We select only the finest materials, craftsmen, and subcontractors. There is no shortcut acceptable on a Dovetail project.
Client Partnership
Your vision drives every decision. We listen deeply, advise honestly, and execute with precision.
Legacy Building
We build homes and spaces meant to endure for generations — structures that appreciate in value and meaning over time.
