Our Team
Keith A. Braun
Principal
Building homes is in Keith’s blood. Since starting his company more than 20 years ago on Marco Island, Keith has been transforming the Florida homebuilding industry family by family. He starts simple—get to know the client, understand their vision, hopes, and dreams. Then he translates that vision into a functional reality, knowing how to make current trends into lasting works of art and reinventing existing floor plans as brand new living spaces. Every home is a Keith home, which ensures quality, craftmanship, and passion.
A graduate of Michigan State University and a Florida-licensed general contractor, Keith built his business from the ground up as a family-centered and client-centric operation. As a client, you’re part of Keith’s family. And as a client, your home will be unlike any other.
