Three Generations of Home Building “Always Proud To Say It’s Harris Built” |
| When Warren Harris began his home-building in the Seven Lakes area back
in 1978, he wanted to do more than just build houses. He wanted his company
to be recognized as a leader at providing families with a warm, inviting,
wonderful space that they could proudly call home. You see, to Warren,
and now to his son Steve, there is a distinct difference between building
a house and constructing a home. Both men believe three things are required to be successful at constructing a home. These include: the ability to completely understand a homebuyer’s needs, translate those needs into a workable design, and construct a home of lasting quality that could meet a homebuyer’s needs for a lifetime.  In 1991 Warren retired after 40 years in the homebuilding business. At
that time, he not only left the management of Harris & Son Construction
to Steve, he also left him mindful of the three fundamental principals
he could count on for success. From every element of construction, the
client plays a very important part in the process of building. Steve derives
great pleasure in working closely with homebuyers. It gives him a chance
to clearly identify the needs of each client, which forms the basis for
the architect’s design work.The quantity of homes built by Harris & Son Construction is impressive. Over the years, this successful company has built over 400 homes. They average building about six to eight homes each year for the past several years. They have an unlimited license to build any size and style residential home or commercial building. As time marches on, so does the Harris family and homebuilding business. A third generation, Mitchell Harris, joined the company in 2000 as job superintendent. He has worked under the same basic training for the last four years that his father received years ago. On June 11, 2003, Mitchell became an unlimited licensed contractor as well. It looks as though the torch will be passed down to yet another Harris to continue building quality homes for the Moore County area. |
