Why floorplan design works the way it does in Atlanta
About Atlanta, GA. Atlanta is the economic capital of the Southeast, headquarters to Coca-Cola, Delta, Home Depot, UPS, and an expanding film and tech base, with a metro footprint that runs from Buckhead and Midtown through the Perimeter, Alpharetta, and the Westside. For an Upstate-SC general contractor, Atlanta is the major out-of-state QSR, hospitality, and multifamily market within a half-day drive.
What it means for floorplan design. Atlanta construction works under the City of Atlanta's permit and zoning structure inside the perimeter, with separate Fulton, DeKalb, and surrounding county jurisdictions outside it — the same project a mile north or south can land under wildly different code paths. Tree ordinance protections, stormwater and detention rules, and traffic-impact review are particularly meaningful for commercial sites. The Upstate-side natural fit is QSR rollouts and 7 Brew Coffee builds along suburban retail spines, select-service hotel work, office tenant build-outs in Midtown and Buckhead Class A inventory, and multifamily clubhouse and ground-floor retail on apartment developments.

Our Process
How We Approach
Floorplan Design
Design Consultation & Lifestyle Brief
How do you actually live? Where does the morning sun need to land? Who hosts Thanksgiving? We start with how the home will function — not square footage. Architects and designers we've collaborated with for years are pulled in based on style fit.
Custom Or Pre-Made — Whichever Fits
Fully custom from a clean sheet, or semi-custom from our partnership with America's Best House Plans (huge selection of luxury pre-made plans at reduced prices). We help you decide based on lot, timeline, and how unique the constraints are.
Permit-Ready Drawings & Build Hand-Off
Plans, sections, elevations, structural review, MEP coordination — all delivered as a permit-ready package. Because BHR is also building it, the plans get drawn for build-ability — not just print-ability. No surprises in the field.
