History

Established in 2006.

Owner and founder Chris Dryden discovered his passion for the construction industry in 2002 when he left his career as a local high school teacher to work for one of Charlotte’s large scale production builders.

After years of managing the construction of entire neighborhoods, in 2006 he chose to invest his skills and expertise into work that was a little closer to home and more dear to his heart. As a proud resident of Chantilly Neighborhood since 1998, and a native Charlottean, he was seeing a great demand for personalized, quality construction services in not only Chantilly but also in nearby Elizabeth, Plaza-​Midwood, and the Commonwealth area. In collaboration with his sister-​in-​law, who holds a Master’s in Architecture from UNCC, a family-​focused, passionate company of Dryden Design Build was born.
