Our Residential Construction Services


We focus on delivering high-quality residential work across the most important phases of building and improvement.


Custom Homes & New Builds


We design and build custom homes tailored to your property, lifestyle, and long-term needs. From initial planning to final construction, we ensure every detail is aligned with your vision and built for durability and performance.

Home Remodels


Our remodeling services help transform existing homes into more functional, modern, and valuable spaces. Whether you’re updating a single area or completing a full-home renovation, we focus on quality craftsmanship and practical design.

Walkout basements provide additional living space with direct outdoor access. We design and construct these spaces to maximize usability, natural light, and property value.

  • Pool houses
  • Sport courts


These projects are designed for both functionality and long-term durability.

What Our Clients Say

Real Projects. Real People.
Real Results.

We let our work — and our clients — speak for us. Here's what homeowners and business owners have to say about working with Platypus Design & Construction.

"I am more than satisfied with the excellent work Platypus Design and Construction recently did for us. After a windstorm blew down a portion of our vinyl fence, he not only repaired the fence but saw what needed to be done to secure it so it would withstand future storms. He performed the work quickly, efficiently, and skillfully. The result was excellent and the cost was reasonable. We also appreciate the clarity and friendliness of all his communications and interactions with us. Overall, he did a superb job, even exceeding our expectations."
Bruce Y. Fence Repair
"McKay and his team have done multiple TI buildout projects for me and my Scenthound locations. They have been great to work with through everything to help me get a mix of great pricing, service, and overall product delivery. They are honest with their work and will ensure they take care of you as their client. Further, being able to use them for both design drawing, engineering, and the project buildout and management has saved me tens of thousands of dollars and weeks of time during my buildouts to have it all done with them in house. Platypus will continue to be my go-to for all my future commercial construction needs."
Spencer S. Commercial Build-Out
"We had an outstanding experience working with McKay Harper and Platypus Construction on a garage addition and a custom pergola over our patio. From the beginning, McKay demonstrated a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail - he was able to match the existing architecture of our home seamlessly, to the point that the addition looks like it has always been there. It was a unique design challenge, and McKay used thoughtful engineering to create a beautiful freestanding structure that feels both solid and elegant. His pricing was very fair, and we would give McKay and Platypus Construction our highest recommendation and would absolutely work with him again."
