Being a local, family-owned and operated business allows Pickett Land & Building to establish and maintain a direct, responsive relationship with its clients and understand the needs of the community at large. Pickett's dedication to green building and support of the Orange County Housing and Land Trust are just part of its commitment to the future of the area's residents.

More then a decade of building in the Chapel Hill area has established Pickett Land & Building Company as one of Chapel Hill’s premier custom home builders. Building high quality, comfortable, sustainable homes and delivering personal attention to our client is core to what we do.

Small enough to be flexible and responsive to individual taste and plans, our family-owned and operated business is large enough to take on any residential building project. From building in neighborhoods such as Winmore and Meadowmont to creating our own communities like Townside Terrace and 515 Downtown, Pickett Land and Building has helped shape the town we call home.

As residents of Chapel Hill, we are committed to the future of our community. Pickett Land and Building homes are “Certified Green”. Building green homes provides our client with healthier homes that cost less to operate and maintain. We are an Energy Star partner furthering the savings and comfort of our designer homes. We support the Orange County Housing and Land Trust, and are members of the Green Building Initiative and the Home Builders’ Association of Durham, Orange, and Chatham Counties.
