Even more than building homes, Spyglass Building’s Rod McLamb enjoys building relationships. It’s a perfect expression of life-work for McLamb, because you cannot create a custom home unless you know your client’s customs.

A graduate of the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University with experience at the Fortune 50 corporate level, McLamb brings a confluence of aesthetics and logic to his work that draws on a background deep in knowledge of both product design and function. McLamb provides homeowners with smart choices, not cursory trends. Rather than selecting building components for their individual performance, he takes a holistic, integrative approach, choosing materials that work well together for clients. He is ever mindful of the interconnectivity of plan and performance.

But, as McLamb says, “All of the experience and thoughtful approach are meaningless if, in the end, the house doesn’t resonate with the client.” McLamb believes homebuilding needn’t be a cold process of closed doors and strict business hours. Your life, your ideas, your dreams … these thoughts never punch a time clock, and neither should your visions of home. That philosophy is why McLamb is known for his accessibility, responsiveness and honesty as a builder.
