s program without crowding the primary residence. Done badly, it reads as a backyard addition that fights the main home. Peters Custom Homes designs and builds accessory structures as part of a unified site composition: same architectural language, same material palette, same level of detailing as the main residence.", "Programs vary by lot, family, and intent. A pool house may be a simple changing room with a half bath and a covered seating area, or it may be a 1,200-square-foot second residence with a full kitchen, two bunk rooms, a primary suite, and a screened porch overlooking the pool. A guest house may serve long-stay parents, college-age children returning for breaks, or extended-family visits during holidays. A casita may serve as an artist

Our Approach
s septic system, a separate septic field, or a connection to municipal sewer where available. Union County and outlying Mecklenburg parcels frequently require independent septic design for any accessory structure with full plumbing, and the soils survey is a critical first step.", "Electrical service is typically extended from the main residence panel via underground conduit; HVAC is independent (a dedicated mini-split or small heat pump system sized to the structure); water service runs from the main supply or, in some Lake Norman conditions, from a separate well head.

Peters runs the site logistics carefully to minimize disruption to the family
s calendar.", "Schedule for a 600- to 1,200-square-foot accessory structure typically runs nine to fourteen months from contract to completion when built standalone, or four to seven months added to the main residence
