A Luxury Custom Home Builder IN THE CAROLINA FOOTHILLS

Upland Homes builds custom luxury residences throughout the Carolina Foothills. Our team brings more than 20 years of experience designing and constructing extraordinary homes across the Upstate, first as Collins Building Group, then as Alair Homes Clemson, and now as Upland Homes. Across each chapter of that work, we have remained committed to the same standards of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and client care. Today, our gallery includes serene lakefront retreats on Lake Keowee, modern luxury homes in Clemson and Greenville, and distinctive custom residences throughout the surrounding region, all shaped by a building experience defined by trust, transparency, and exceptional quality.

THE UPLAND LEGACY

Founded by Kevin Collins, a builder with over 20 years of experience in the Upstate of South Carolina and Western North Carolina, Upland Homes is the product of a journey that began with Collins Building Group and later expanded through a national franchise.

While Kevin’s leadership set the foundation, it is the strength of our team of skilled builders, project managers, and trade partners that defines who we are today.

We believe that every home should be as unique as the family who lives in it. That’s why our process emphasizes collaboration at every step—from initial design discussions and budgeting, to selecting finishes and working through the details of construction. Clients have full visibility into their project, and our team is committed to making the experience smooth, informed, and enjoyable.

Our focus is not only on the quality of the homes we build, but the relationships we build along the way. Over the years, we have worked to build network of trusted local trades and suppliers, ensuring that each home is constructed with skill, care, and attention to detail.
