LeylandAlliance adopted an old-fashioned approach to construction at Hammond's Ferry. All of the single-family residences
are built by members of the Hammond's Ferry Builders' Guild.
This age-old approach (builders' guilds were used to unite tradesmen as long ago as the Middle Ages) was adopted to forge
positive community relationships, while encouraging a cooperative and productive community climate. Good craftsmen yield
well-built, quality homes and happy customers.
The Hammond's Ferry Guild members were selected from a group of applicants known for maintaining the high bar of
professionalism in the North Augusta region. The applicants were assessed according to standards developed by an
independent consumer rating agency, GuildQuality, Inc., based in Atlanta. The company defines and measures quality,
performance, and customer satisfaction by collecting feedback from customers and objectively assessing customer experiences.
Creating a Builders' Guild means more than recruiting builders to buy lots or commit to design standards. Creating a culture of quality required North Augusta Riverfront Company and LeylandAlliance to quantify their standards for Hammond's Ferry, and then recruit builders
capable of delivering to them throughout the life of the project.
With oversight and guidance from Giovanni Palladino and Richard Fletcher, town architects, and the Design Review Board, the following members of the Builders' Guild will craft the homes of Hammond's Ferry.
