We just closed on our lot, it's on St James Dr - across the street from Waterway Park. Hit all of my wife's check boxes. Yes, it's in the 100 yr floodplain & will have to take this into consideration when we build. We are planning a visit in late October to start meeting with contractors and would appreciate any help narrowing down choices of who to meet with. I compiled a list of over 16 builders from previous post on this thread.
Here is what we are looking for.
Semi-custom to custom plan
Upgraded floors, appliances, etc....
3 bedrooms
3 1/2 to 4 baths
3000 to 3500 sq ft including upstairs bonus room with one of the baths
Inside / Outdoor living with pool
We have been communicating with Logan Homes and have been impressed with their responsiveness and what appears to be the ability to customize plans and choose upgraded packages. Our timeline to build is 18 to 24 months.
Please reply with and suggestions on builders, good or bad.
Thanks!

Whitney Blair Builders is currently building the homes of two very good friends of ours. We, ourselves, will be using him in 2+ years. His trims are unbelieveable and no one builds a home as clean and precise as he does. I know he has a few homes he built in SJP - and also is the Southern Living Builder on Bald Head Island. However, he is not cheap. You get what you pay for with him. Also - I would suggest going to the BRUNSWICK COUNTY PARADE OF HOMES TOUR - weekends of either Oct 14 or Oct 21. You will see open houses (with the builders showing them). Google "Brunswick County Parade of HOmes". They have this showing only once a year - every October.
I need to stop booking weekend preview visits to SJ. Last year we booked during the tropical storm and are scheduled to arrive this Friday. Canceled last year and considering the same for this weekend.
Well ... doing a little 'cain' prep, just in case. Walmart is pretty much out of batteries though (man) Lowes seems to have a good supply of them as well as flash lights, buckets etc.
Got a decent supply of drinking water. Will fill up a tub for emergency and to flush toilets etc. Gas grill will cook if necessary. As long as water doesn't get above my knees, we should be fine.

Good luck
From what I have seen on the news today, it looks like Matthew maybe "making a right turn" before hitting St. James, so hopefully the brunt of the storm will be moved out to sea. Regardless, good luck to you and everyone else in the coastal Carolina area---take shelter and be safe.
As nonresident lot owner( and near future resident ) i have been receiving the SJ emergency alert and received the IRWIN st bridge closure but was curious about other damage and flooding. Planning of coming later this week for parade of homes
