THE VE CUSTOM HOMES STORY
At its heart, the VE Custom Homes story is all about family. Ours, and yours. It’s a story of passion and pride, keeping your promises and building a legacy. A story that all started with Eliot Grime and a single house.
In the early 2010s, Eliot went into the business of buying and renovating fixer-uppers in Orlando, Florida. And the day he finished his first house, he knew building would be his career. After buying, restoring and selling a few more homes, he also realized there was something far more special about designing and building homes from the ground up.
Ask him and he’ll tell you; you learn a lot building a home from scratch. And not just about construction. During his early years, Eliot talked to hundreds of people about the building process: What they loved. What they disliked. How the process made them feel. And after a while, two things became crystal clear to him.
First, every home had to start with a great design. And second, what people really wanted was the freedom and flexibility to build an affordable home—where and how they wanted it. He learned that buying someone else’s house always involves a compromise. And that other builders were full of reasons why this or that couldn’t be done. People told Eliot they wanted a builder who would listen and help them create their dream home.
Industry Experience Matters
Eliot discovered that the true vision for VE Custom Homes was in designing and building fully custom homes the way his customers wanted them. Not close to what they wanted—exactly what they wanted, at a price and quality level no other builder was delivering. He also learned that this is much easier said than done, which is why so few builders have attempted to do it.
It was this blend of insight and personal passion that drove Eliot with the support of his team and family to commit to building a legacy of quality and affordability from one side of Central Florida to the other, one beautiful home, one family at a time. They dedicated themselves to building every home as though they were building it for their family. And they’ve never looked back.
Over the years, VE Custom Homes has taken the promise of an affordable, innovative, fully custom home and made it a reality for Central Florida families. And no two of those homes are alike. Each reflects the personal design choices and dreams of its owners. VE Custom Homes works with dedicated local trade partners who share the company’s commitment to building the homes customers want to build, the way they want them built: With a fully collaborative spirit. With financial transparency. And with a dedication to building homes families can enjoy for generations.
