At Discovery Development Group in Mount Pleasant, SC, we understand that hiring a contractor to build your dream home is more than just a transaction—it’s a relationship. For better or worse, that relationship can last up to a year or more, making it critical to find the right partner.
Finding a skilled and experienced developer—one who instills confidence, eases your concerns, and doesn’t drive you crazy after a few months is the persistent challenge.
That challenge is even greater in Charleston’s booming development market, where an already saturated industry has attracted builders from across the country eager to capitalize on the region’s growing economy. Unfortunately, as many have discovered, the quality of work can vary significantly.
With years of construction expertise and a long list of glowing client references since 2016, James Schulze and Discovery Development Group rise above the rest. The difference starts with our name.
Born into a family of missionaries and blue-water sailors, it’s fitting that James would one day launch a company called Discovery. In the world of custom homebuilding, Discovery represents possibility—the blending of various building materials that create a home that reflects your unique vision and way of life.
At Discovery Development Group, we go beyond building houses—we help define what “Dream Home” means to you and bring it to life.
We interpret your vision, craft a plan, and coordinate the materials, methods, and manpower necessary to execute that plan. Dreams alone don’t build homes—discipline, attention to detail, and accountability do—qualities that James honed in his over 15 years of service in the U.S. Air Force Reserve’s Fire & Rescue Departments.
As a Mount Pleasant-based company, we take a deliberately selective approach to our projects, ensuring a higher level of customer service. By focusing on a limited geographic area, James and his team of Project Managers remain only minutes from your home site, overseeing smooth and steady progress every step of the way.
James became a skilled custom home framing carpenter in the Southern California and Arizona in the mid 1990’s and later served as a Construction Manager for one of America’s largest home builders in Los Angeles County. Eventually, he brought his expertise to the Lowcountry, where he now leads his team as they build and renovate multi-million-dollar custom home projects.
You’ve worked hard, saved, and planned. Now, it’s time to bring your vision to life. How will your new home complement the life you’ve imagined for yourself? You need a trusted partner to guide you forward with confidence.
Whether you are in Mount Pleasant, a barrier island, Historic Downtown Charleston, or another part of greater Charleston, that partner is Discovery Development Group.
